Officials with the San Francisco Department of Public Health issued a warning Thursday to the general public about a recent trend of fentanyl being found in other drugs like cocaine.
Fentanyl is a highly addictive and potentially lethal synthetic opioid and is the leading cause of overdose deaths in the nation.
Fentanyl is typically sold as a white powder and looks similar to cocaine or methamphetamine. The similarities in appearance could lead to deadly consequences for people intending to use solely cocaine or meth, but who have little to no tolerance for fentanyl, health officials said.
