The Hidden Danger of Fentanyl: A Deadly “Zombie Drug”
Aureliano Stingi, a PhD in molecular biology, has issued a stark warning about the dangers of using Fentanyl for recreational purposes. In an interview with Today.it, Stingi explains that even the slightest miscalculation in dosage can lead to immediate death, making Fentanyl one of the most dangerous drugs on the clandestine market.
While Fentanyl is a powerful analgesic and anesthetic when used in hospital settings, its misuse on the streets has led to devastating effects on health. Often mixed with heroin or other substances, Fentanyl is smoked or injected by users seeking a powerful high. With side effects ranging from nausea to respiratory depression, the risk of death is a constant concern.
In response to the growing threat of Fentanyl abuse, the Italian government has implemented a National Prevention Plan to educate citizens about the risks associated with the drug. Stingi emphasizes the importance of public awareness, citing the lack of information about recreational drug use and its potentially deadly consequences.
As the illegal market for Fentanyl continues to thrive, Stingi cautions against the use of other dangerous substances like ketamine, which has also gained popularity among recreational users. With high risks and little regulation, these drugs pose a serious threat to public health and safety.
The message is clear: the allure of Fentanyl’s powerful effects is not worth the risk of death. As authorities work to combat the spread of this deadly “zombie drug,” it is crucial for individuals to prioritize their health and safety above all else.
