• Handling: Only properly trained and outfitted law enforcement professionals should handle suspected to contain carfentanil or a fentanyl-related compound.

• Exposure symptoms: respiratory depression or arrest, drowsiness, disorientation, sedation, pinpoint pupils, and clammy skin. The onset of these symptoms usually occurs within minutes of exposure.• Seek immediate medical attention: Carfentanil and other fentanyl-related substances can work quickly, so in cases of suspected exposure, call EMS immediately. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air. If ingested and the victim is conscious, wash out the victim’s eyes and mouth with cool water.• Be ready to administer naloxone: The antidote for opioid overdose can reverse an overdose of carfentanil, fentanyl or other opioids, although multiple doses of naloxone may be required. Continue to administer a dose of naloxone every 2-3 minutes until the individual is breathing on his/her own for at least 15 minutes or until EMS arrives.• Forms: Carfentanil can resemble powdered cocaine or heroin.Source: The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency
