Pennsylvania Hospitals May Soon Test for Fentanyl
Pennsylvania hospitals may soon test urine samples for fentanyl and xylazine, two of the most common additives found in heroin. The state government legalized fentanyl test strips for personal use last year, following a number of other states responding to more overdose deaths in the last decade. More than 5,200 Pennsylvanians have died from an overdose death in the last year, according to CDC data. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pennsylvania-in-focus/support
