⚠ CK Public Health Warns of Increased Drug Poisonings in Chatham-Kent ⚠

CK Public Health is warning of a rise in drug poisonings (overdoses) and unexpected reactions to substances in the Chatham-Kent area. Strong fentanyl mixed with Xylazine (commonly referred to as “tranq”) in the local drug supply is suspected to be contributing to this increased risk. Tranq increases the effects of opioids and can cause prolonged sedation as well as wound and skin issues.

This serves as an important reminder that the unregulated drug supply is unpredictable and always changing. Substances may not be what individuals expect, increasing the risk of harm or death.

Share this warning to help raise awareness and reduce the risk of drug poisonings.
