A mystery drug in Georgia has killed four people and caused 27 to overdose. The pill is being sold as a painkiller known as Percocet, but is not a real Percocet. It’s something else and scientists are still testing the substance to see what it consists of.People addicted to painkillers have taken the pill and stopped breathing. Many were able to be resuscitated and/or saved, but four could not survive the extreme overdose caused by this one tiny pill.
Drug addicts are likely to not know any better when they’re trying to get their fix. They’ll take the pill, not knowing it is fake (and sometimes not caring) and they could have a terrible reaction to the accelerated overdose.Officials from Georgia have stated that the mystery drug has only been present for about 48 hours and the overdose numbers in that short time frame are absolutely staggering.Georgia’s Department of Public Health, also known as the DPH, has warned residents that the horrible street drug is connected with multiple deaths and dozens of overdoses, mostly in southern and central Georgia. They’re worried about the drug traveling to other parts of the state, or even worse, beyond state lines into the rest of the country.The drug’s origin and chemical markup is unknown until testing is completed.The overdoses have been reported over a 48-hour period in Centerville, Perry, Macon Warner Robins and Albany, but the drugs may also be sold on the street in other areas of the state. Patients reportedly purchased yellow pills alleged to be Percocet, an opioid pain medication. The substance has not yet been identified but it is extremely potent and has required massive doses of naloxone (Narcan) to counteract its effects. Testing is being done to identify the pills and the ingredients.First responders say patients are unconscious or unresponsive and have difficulty breathing or have stopped breathing. Many patients need to be placed on ventilators. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you have taken the pills or if you think someone has used the drug. Opioid overdose is a very dangerous condition that can result in permanent physical and mental damage or even death if medical treatment is not administered right away.
