"I'm not going to let one child in my town suffer and die because greedy dealers want to give their drugs away for free this Halloween," Norwich Women's Club 2020 Citizen of the Year, Linda Cook explained. "That's why instead of my usual raisins and toothbrushes, I'm handing out Narcan nasal spray."
Norwich children may not impressed by receiving a competitive mu-opioid receptor antagonist instead of a handful of their favorite fun sized chocolate candies, but this lifesaving treat might be the only thing that stands between them and a drug dealer's deadly trick. According to police toxicologist Mort Fishman of the Miami Police Department's Halloween Threat Assessment and Response Task Force, parents need to be extra cautious this year. "Whether its bringing your child's Halloween haul down to the station to have it tested for fentanyl, or to the nearest emergency department to have it scanned for razor blades, there is nothing too extreme when it comes to protecting your child. Last year there were no children killed by free drugs in their candy, which means we are due for a pile of them."
