Over the weekend, first responders and Butte-Silver Bow County law enforcement responded to six overdoses related to a batch of fentanyl powder. Butte-Silver Bow Sheriff Ed Lester said all forms of fentanyl are dangerous, but this new batch of fentanyl powder could be particularly deadly."The way to stop people from using fentanyl is prevention and education and to make people aware that if you use this, its likely that you will die," said Lester.According to the sheriff, all of the individuals who overdosed appeared to have survived but he hopes that by talking about the issue more lives will be saved."The population that is most vulnerable are the people who are routinely using fentanyl. Now Im not naive enough to realize that theyre not going to stop fentanyl, but the problem is the powder specifically right now," said Lester. The use of Narcan or Naloxone can immediately help save lives in the event of an opioid overdose, but Lester said another way to save lives in the community is to share information on the origin of the fentanyl powder by calling 406-497-1120."I dont know if I can put it any more bluntly than I am: If you use this stuff it could kill you," said the sheriff.
