There鈥檚 a new drug on the streets in three states, including Ohio. And the state鈥檚 top law enforcement official says it is already causing overdoses.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says the drug is called 鈥済ray death.鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 really a combination of fentanyl, heroin and what is called U47700, which is a synthetic drug.鈥�
DeWine says eight cases of gray death overdose have been reported. He says this is particularly deadly because Narcan, the drug used to revive overdose victims, doesn鈥檛 work well in these cases.
鈥淲hat we are seeing with more fentanyl is that it鈥檚 harder and harder to bring people back. It鈥檚 taking sometimes 8, 10, 12鈥�.we had one case where it took 18 times鈥�.to get the person back. So you are probably going to see fewer people who are going to be able to be saved.鈥�
DeWine says the drug has been found in all parts of the state.
