I was an EMT-B in southeastern Pennsylvania for 10 years before starting my emergency medicine residency so I know how tough your jobs are on a daily basis. First responders face danger every day and they don’t know when or where it’s coming from. Please spread this far and wide and share it with anyone who is concerned about incidental exposure to fentanyl being a concern for first responders.ĭISCLAIMER: I’m not doing this episode to discredit those in law enforcement, the fire service, EMS, or any other first responders. This police officer “had his life saved” with narcan in this dramatic body camera footage…the substance was later found to be methamphetamine…īelow is the script of the podcast edited into the form of a blog post in case you are interested in reading it instead of listening to the podcast.

OMG…he put fentanyl and carfentanil on his bare hand and look what happened…NOTHING! The ACMT Statement on Incidental Fentanyl Exposure This episode will systematically go through every argument why fentanyl is NOT harmful via incidental exposure and debunk these myths to give first responders one less thing to worry about while they do their frequently dangerous yet vital work. This is physically impossible and the misinformation out there has scared a lot of people, cost us lots of money in the form of hazmat responses and shutting down hospitals, and prevented overdose patients from getting the timely care they need in an emergency.

Today’s episode of the podcast is a myth busting on all the media reports about first responders overdosing by being exposed to fentanyl in the field by incidental contact.
