 Five more people have died from carfetnal-related overdoses, bringing the total amount of deaths up to 10 in Hennepin County this year alone. The opioid is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl. The drug is intended for use as an elephant tranquilizer and for other large animals. It can come in several forms including powder and spray where they could accidentally be absorbed through the skin or inhaled, potentially harming first responders and law enforcement. The deaths happened in February, March and April, but a specialized lab had to confirm the test results.
