Fentanyl has been involved in more than 6,500 overdose fatalities in Cuyahoga County since 2014, either by itself or when mixed with cocaine or heroin, according to data from the medical examiner’s office.
Fentanyl test strips are an important tool in the fight against overdose deaths. A study released last year by Case Western Reserve University and Cuyahoga County found that 75% of people who died from overdoses in the county between 2016 and 2020 were alone when they were using drugs. Fentanyl was involved in more than 70% of those deaths.
