Congress has voted to temporarily extend a sweeping tool that has helped federal agents crack down on drugs chemically similar to fentanyl. The Senate on Thursday, April 29, 2021, approved legislation extending until October an order that allows the federal government to classify so-called fentanyl analogues as Schedule I controlled substances. The drugs are generally foreign-made with a very close chemical makeup to the dangerous opioid. (U.S. Attorneys Office for Utah via AP, File)
Public health managers in Madison are warning about a spike in overdoses from fentanyl-laced drugs.
Public Health Madison & Dane County yesterday said 10 people overdosed in 36 hours, and one of them died.
PHMDC said the overdoses all came from people who used fentanyl-laced cocaine or meth.
The office also sent out the reminder that it has fentanyl test strips, so people know what is in the drugs they are using.
