A police officer in East Liverpool, Ohio, collapsed and was rushed to the hospital after he brushed fentanyl residue off his uniform, allowing the drug to enter his system through his hands. The officer had apparently encountered the opioid earlier in the day while making a drug bust.
"This is scary. He could have walked out of the building and left and he could have passed out while he was driving. You don't even know it's there on his clothes," East Liverpool Police Chief John Lane told CNN.

Scary that China let Carfentanil to be sold freely until March 1, 2017. But is that substance possible to produce for mortals without access to advanced laboratories or the aid of chemistry professors?

Doesn't matter. If China won't make it then Iran and North Korea will.
