Originally Published 1 year ago — by WBOY.com
Law enforcement in Virginia and across the nation are warning about a deadly drug combination of fentanyl and xylazine, a synthetic animal tranquilizer, found in illegal drugs. The addition of xylazine to fentanyl is making the opioid epidemic even deadlier, posing a significant risk to young people, including high school and college students. The DEA has seized mixtures of xylazine and fentanyl in 48 of 50 states, with a rising number of cases. Authorities urge parents to talk to their children about the dangers of these narcotics amidst one of the deadliest opioid epidemics in history.
