Very sad to hear a second person has died. It looks like someone has added one of the “nitazenes” to bags of heroin bring sold in Barnstaple area. Similar found in 4 samples tested in Bristol yesterday by @WeAreTheLoopUK in Bristol. Carry naloxone. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-de…

Well done Somerset. We need this kind of open access to naloxone service all over the UK this year, 2024, as the danger of accidental overdose is sadly increasing with presence of “nitazenes”
