According to the Ohio Department of Health, fentanyl was involved in 80% of Ohio unintentional drug overdose deaths in 2021. Nearly everyone who uses street drugs, whether regularly or recreationally, are at risk of fentanyl exposure and unintentional overdose. Fentanyl is nearly impossible to detect because you won’t be able to see it, smell it, or taste it. The only way to know if there is fentanyl present is to test drugs with fentanyl test strips.

The Health District provides fentanyl test strips free of cost, walk-ins welcome during normal business hours.

To receive fentanyl test strips in the mail, go to nextdistro.org/oh-teststrips.
