Fentanyl deaths due to overdose have increased by 97 percent since 2019 in Wisconsin, the state’s health department announced in an advisory to warn residents about drugs laced with synthetic substances, especially fentanyl.
The department said it has observed “an increasing number of overdoses related to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids over the past few years” and warned that people who use multiple substances “are at an increased risk for overdose.”
