🚨 Public Safety Advisory: Cychlorphine Detected in Kentucky 🚨
The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security warns that Cychlorphine, a highly potent synthetic drug approximately ten times stronger than fentanyl, has been detected in central Kentucky and is contributing to overdose deaths in neighboring regions, including eastern Tennessee.
This substance is frequently mixed with other illegal narcotics, placing users at extreme risk of unintentional exposure. Its presence is expected to expand to additional areas within the Commonwealth.
Advisory for First Responders, Healthcare Providers, and Law Enforcement Personnel:
* Exercise extreme caution when handling any unknown or illicit substances.
* Utilize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent accidental exposure.
* Treat all suspected Cychlorphine-related overdoses as medical emergencies.
* Immediately report any confirmed or suspected cases to local public safety authorities.
The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security urges the public to remain vigilant, avoid contact with unknown substances, and report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
