As the opioid epidemic continues, it is creating challenges for the first responders on the scene of potential opioid-related overdose calls. The D.E.A. has deemed fentanyl an “unprecedented threat” and this drug is a concern for accidental exposure within police, EMS, fire and rescue and emergency room environments. Law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians and first responders have been warned to handle fentanyl with extreme caution as some have fallen seriously ill after getting it on their skin or clothing. 
Worn to protect against potential cross-contamination and the spread of infection, single-use gloves are essential to protecting responders from exposure but it shouldn't stop there.
Providing paramedics, correctional officers, emergency medical technicians, custom agents, police officers, DEA, firefighters, rescuers, and other trained members first on the scene with single-use nitrile gloves certified to the ASTM D6978-05 standand can be the difference between returning home safe or a trip to the hospital.
BACKGROUND
Fentanyl is 8000% more potent than morphine and perhaps the most potent opioid available for medical treatments. It is a Class II “Incapacitating Agent” per the CDC utilized as a surgical anesthetic or a narcotic for chronic, severe cancer pain. Relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture, fentanyl is often mixed with heroin or cocaine to boost profitability and potency which increases demand. Forged in underground labs, fentanyl generates far more doses with less labor and capital and it’s turning up on the streets as dealers strive to meet still enormous demand for opioids in the U.S.
LETHAL
Fentanyl is so potent that a trace amount – the equivalent of a few grains of salt – can be lethal. In fact, it would only take 118 pounds of fentanyl to kill 25 million people. Fentanyl can be accidently inhaled or absorbed through the skin with effects ranging from disorientation, coughing, sedation, respiratory distress or even cardiac arrest; occurring within seconds of contact.
