12 People Overdose At Chico CA House. 1 Dead, 4 Critical

CHICO, Calif. — One man has died and four are in critical condition following apparent drug overdoses at a house in Chico, the Enterprise-Record newspaper reports .

A dozen people were taken out of the house Saturday morning and brought to hospitals, police told the newspaper.

The mass overdose appears to have been largely caused by the dangerous opioid fentanyl, Chico police Chief Mike O’Brien said at a news conference. “Every indication is that this mass overdose incident was caused from the ingestion of some form of fentanyl in combination with another substance. That is yet to be confirmed, but we do anticipate confirmation in the coming days,” O’Brien said.

All of the people hospitalized were over 18 and most appeared to be in their 20s, Chico police commander Mike Rodden said.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed on six people at the scene and a total of 12 were taken to the hospital, Steve Standridge, chief of Chico’s fire department, said.

Chico is a city of about 92,000 people about 160 miles north of San Francisco.

How do so many people wind up taking it before they realise there is something badly wrong? Were they all taking it at once?

Oh you know ... dealers don't sell to just one guy, they have lots of customers. I wonder if anyone is going to drop the dime on the guy/girl that selling this poison?

All overdosing patients collected from that one address, though?

If they collected it from there and they took it home and needed picking up from their individual addresses, I would not have questioned it.
 
Really folks??? Store bought pot in Chico is around $160/oz and they cheap out on the stuff from their dealer friend that's 'Waaaay better than medical dude'

A few joints passed around the house...
Instant mass causality event.

In my experience you get your shit and go in your own little bubble and do your thing. Unless they were smoking they were probably seperated throughout the house. And one person probably brought it.

Many medications like Xanax, and Lortab on the streets are now coming from people/organized drug dealers that are completely counterfeited and are made with pill pressers, and being sold on the streets as the legitimate drugs from pharmaceutical companies, but only contain fentanyl and binders.
They are then pressed with stolen or forged presses and will look and pass as the real drug, with proper size, shape, colors, company marks and mg labeling, until actually tested by authorities.

Prince died after taking what he though was only 2 Lortabs that someone must have gotten for him off the streets; normally even doubling the dosage of the highest Lortab level (10/325 or 10/375, bottom number is Tylenol mg in the med) wouldn't do much to most adults, other than perhaps nausea or a medium opioid high - if they are not in severe pain (which he was), but as the pills were fentanyl with white binder powders made to look like Lortabs, he overdosed and died.
Studies have shown that the effects of opioids are different on people who're are truly suffering from pain, they don't get the "high" that addicts are looking for because much of the medication is doing it's job to relieve the pain, and therefore the "high" effects are minimized since much of the medication is working in the nervous system as designed, and less is making it's way to the pleasure centers of the brain.

It takes only 2mg of fentanyl to kill the average adult, so when those who use prescription drugs abusively by taking more than one, or even several that they've bought off the street from an untrusted source, they are unknowingly overdosing, and sometimes with only taking a single counterfeit pill.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, and it acts very quickly in the body's system, by the time most who've overdosed on it begin to realize that there is something very wrong going on, it's too late, and they end up passing out before they can tell someone or call for help.

That or it was mixed with crack or meth and then smoked.
Hell, it could have been mixed in with alcohol, and everyone does a shot or two, and it's goodnight Irene, permanently.

Stuff is potent.

I have read that Corpsmen treating wounded Marines will give them a fentanyl "lollipop" (actually a mass of fentanyl and binders fixed to the end of a stick, intended for buccal administration) taped to the thumb or finger of the wounded Marine. And when (not if) they pass out, their hand falls away from their mouth and they quit getting dosed.

That's actually a pretty smart method for military field medicine, IMO.
Once the wounded has had enough treatment to stop their bleeding and are no longer at serious risk, it gives the medics the ability to keep moving and continue triage on other wounded Marines.
When they wake up and/or the pain returns and wakes them, they can stick their finger back in their mouths and pass out again, until they're able to be transferred to a MASH unit, local hospital or even a Naval hospital ship.
 
"I am very concerned about this situation. This is a significant public safety and public health risk," Sheriff Kory Honea said in a statement. "We are concerned that the potency of the illegal drugs on the street right now is very high or the possibility of the drugs being laced with another substance, which is causing these overdoses."

There is already a "significant public safety and public health risk" on the streets, it is the opioids. The potency overdoses and deaths are the dealer's advertisement of how good their shit is.
