The health unit is warning of increased deaths linked to toxic drugs
Health officials in Simcoe and Muskoka are warning of a recent rise in suspected drug poisonings across the region. The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit says emergency visits and deaths have increased over the past three weeks, likely linked to a toxic unregulated drug supply that may include fentanyl mixed with other sedatives.
Officials are urging people who use drugs to take precautions, including avoiding using alone, carrying naloxone, and starting with small amounts. They say anyone witnessing a suspected overdose should call 911 immediately, as the drug supply remains unpredictable and dangerous.
