Ohio – Cincinnati Police Narcotics Unit arrested one person after recovering enough fentanyl that could kill nearly 2 million people, according to the Cincinnati Police Department.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Just two milligrams, which is small enough to fit the tip of a pencil, can be deadly.
In 2020, 81% of deaths in Ohio were connected to fentanyl overdoses, police said.
Hamilton County health officials issued a public health alert in October after 16 people died within a six-day span because of suspected fentanyl overdoses.
