Polk County authorities found three men with enough fentanyl to kill five million people, Univisión Noticias reported on November 1, 2023.

The investigation that found the shipment of fentanyl

Last September, police authorities were activated when they discovered the movement of three men who were continuously traveling to Mexico.

Polk police found the trio of suspects with a shipment of 10 kilos of fentanyl, which they believe came from the cartel once led by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera.

The subjects were restrained. “The drug was introduced through California and brought to Florida”, they reported on Telemundo Tampa.

The Public Prosecution Service warned that this amount could kill 5 million people. Experts consulted by Univisión recalled that a small dose, two milligrams, can lead to death.

González emphasized in his report that fentanyl is by far the “deadliest drug in existence.”

Inform about the danger of fentanyl

Jaime Puerta, who lost a son due to contact with this substance, proposes through this information chain a “mass information campaign that reaches all schools” to prevent more deaths among children and young people.

The United States has highlighted the severity of the fentanyl crisis and by April 2023, authorities estimate that nearly 200 Americans would die every day from consuming the drug.

The DEA warned about the abuse of fentanyl in mid-September:
snorted/inhaled, smoked, orally in pills or tablets, spiked into tissue paper, patches, sold alone or in combination with heroin and other substances, it has been identified in fake pills, which imitate drugs such as oxycodone. (JO)
