Ten years ago, it was car accidents and suicide.
Today, it’s something far more sinister — and harder to see coming.
Accidental fentanyl overdose has quietly become the deadliest threat facing our children, teens, and young adults. Synthetic fentanyl — often disguised as other medications or recreational drugs — is killing more young people than ever before.
Every 5 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies of an overdose. Two-thirds of those deaths are linked to fentanyl.
