Parents whose children have died from fentanyl want to make sure other kids, and adults, think before they take any kind of pill. Fentanyl is up to 50 times more potent than heroin and it’s often pressed into fake pills made to look like prescription drugs. In the U.S., overdose deaths are at an all-time high and experts say much of that is being driven by counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl.
