A story from 2018 shows two Alameda County Sheriff’s experienced the effects of “fentanyl exposure.” The article shows inaccuracy and misinformation about the actual symptoms of fentanyl and fentanyl overdose. The article also uses scary language to stigmatize drug users. Officers claimed "His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he started to go unconscious. He stopped breathing. His lips turned blue." These symptoms were not verified by toxicologists and do not match actual symptoms, causing them to be misinformation.
