CDC issues warning on fentanyl abuse
UPDATED 7:44 PM EDT Oct 26, 2015
MANCHESTER, N.H. —The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an advisory to health departments across the country regarding a national increase in fentanyl-related overdoses.
The new CDC report shows a significant increase in the total number of fentanyl drug seizures nationwide over the past two years. Eighty percent of the confiscated drugs came from 10 states.
New Hampshire ranks ninth on the list. Massachusetts is second, ranked just behind Ohio.
Officials in New Hampshire said they're already well aware of the dangers of fentanyl, but they welcome the effort to raise awareness.
