The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and San Bernardino County Fire Department have seen a rise in the use of counterfeit prescription pills among high school teens.
The departments have also seen an increase in the circulation of the M-30 pill (Oxycodone). This pill is laced with deadly fentanyl, causing overdose deaths.
Fentanyl causes the following symptoms:
Victim breathes slowly, or stops breathing.
Victim is drowsy or unresponsive.
Victim is snoring and you're unable to wake them.
Victim has small or pinpoint pupils.
If you see these signs, immediately call 911 and say the person is suspected of having a fentanyl overdose. The longer you wait to call, the less likely the person will survive.
