A lot of these kids- it's potentially setting them up for a life full of addiction, because we don't know. We don't know if the first, we don't know if that, if that that positive test they had was the first time they were exposed.
Imagine taking your toddler to the hospital and finding out they tested positive for fentanyl. Shocking, right? In this eye-opening episode of 'Bare Knuckle Recovery', hosts Nate and Tommy tackle a disturbing new trend highlighted in a recent San Diego County article: children as young as 1-5 showing up with fentanyl in their systems. Some of these kids exhibit overdose symptoms, while others don't, raising alarming questions about how and why this is happening.
Nate and Tommy dive into the potential long-term impacts on these young lives, from developmental issues to the risk of future addiction. They also discuss the critical role of Narcan in preventing fatalities and emphasize the importance of education and community support in tackling this crisis. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone concerned about the opioid epidemic's reach. If you're looking for raw, unfiltered discussions on the real-world impacts of addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
