CHICAGO (CBS) – Chicago public health officials are urging those attending Lollapalooza this weekend to be cautious and test their drugs for fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid.
The Chicago Department of Public Health posted an alert on its social media accounts warning Lollapalooza fans that fentanyl can easily cause an overdose. Fentanyl can be found in cocaine, MDMA, and other drugs, not just heroin. The department also advised the public to not use drugs by themselves.
