⚠️ URGENT HEALTH ALERT ⚠️
Medetomidine Found in the Fentanyl Supply

A new and dangerous substance—medetomidine (a veterinary sedative)—is now being detected in illicit fentanyl across the country significantly increasing the risk of overdose and severe withdrawal.

🚨 Why this matters:
• Not approved for human use
• Causes deep sedation & slowed breathing
• NOT reversed by Narcan alone
• Often mixed with fentanyl—users may not know it’s present No antidote exists

⚠️ New Withdrawal Concerns:
This combination is leading to more severe and complex withdrawal symptoms, including:
• Agitation
• High blood pressure
• Rapid heart rate
• Confusion or altered mental status

🆘 What to do in an overdose:
• Give Narcan immediately (for the opioid component)
• Call 911
• Monitor breathing closely
• Be aware: multiple doses may be needed, and sedation may persist

Due to tomorrow’s forecasted weather, our Pow Wow has been moved to the Polydium, located at 85 Rue Côté.

We’re disappointed to make this change, but the safety and comfort of everyone attending is our top priority. We want everyone to stay safe and dry while still enjoying the Pow Wow.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the Polydium!
