If folks are saying that an ODed person can contaminate others, perhaps that is another hypothesis as to what happened.
Not the person, but the drug...one type of street fentanyl (carfentanyl) is so strong, just handling it wrong can kill you. It's a possibility.If folks are saying that an ODed person can contaminate others, perhaps that is another hypothesis as to what happened.

I don't believe that there have been documented cases of toxicity from an ODd body. More of a theoretical concern.
I just don't feel bad for drug addicts
Ahhhhh, I see... sounded more sinister. I was thinking, what can take a totally awake person and make them sleep within 20 minutes?!?!
I know what can't - and that would be ZzzQuil. It's 50mg Diphenhydramine. You can legally take that stuff and drive. (Not that you should).
You weren't PIC, right?It depends on the person. When NyQuil worked for me, 20 minutes was about right. I recall taking a dose while walking down the jetway for a red eye flight when I was sick. I was out by pushback.
You weren't PIC, right?
The sleep aids are usually just an anti-histamine like Benadryl, so mostly harmless. I'm not sure about NyQuil, I tried it once a long time ago and it made me feel terrible and it kept me awake and jittery, not sleepy.
Whew!Nope, airline flight.
Yeah, I won't say any more but you're probably right. It was a strange night!
You might have taken too much.... OD'ed on Nyquil....
I've had those...no NyQuil involved though....Yeah, I won't say any more but you're probably right. It was a strange night!
Unfortunately Ohio and West Virginia are at the epicenter of a national tragedy. I only realized how bad it was when I saw advertisements for a laxative to counteract opioid induced constipation on the Super Bowl. A LOT of America is drugged up. Last I checked more people were dying of opioids than car crashes.
Talk all you want about drug addicts and criminals. This didn't come out of nowhere. This problem didn't emerge until after the push by the drug companies to liberalize opioid use, so said companies could peddle more their products.
And you don't start start out with cocaine laced with fentanyl. These folks had been at it awhile.

Perhaps something else to note is this pilot obviously kept it very secret. He passed his drug screenings somehow, and our friend who was a friend of his had no idea.
Interesting. A few years ago my wife had horrible back pain. She got admitted and they gave her NOTHING for several days because they "didn't know what she had". I was beyond being ****ed watching her suffer. Turns out she was diagnosed with pneumonia. Wonder what the statute of limitations is...The 'pain is the fifth vital sign' ideology was promoted by the American pain society and AMA. This was further pushed by state medical boards who considered the presence of pain to be a sign of malpractice. The result was predictable.
Yes, the drug companies share the blame, but what we see right now was not all their fault.
