When news first broke of celebrities overdosing on fentanyl, most Americans had never heard of the drug. Today, fentanyl-related deaths dominate headlines almost daily, and with more than 70,000 Americans dying from fentanyl poisoning at the height of the crisis, the need for awareness has become vital.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1339934318\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Fentanyl, for me, came out of nowhere.
