Well opiod overdoses are not that uncommon, and easily recognizable. Paramedics can respond quickly.

- Tangurena2 4y agoMany people carry Narcan (the most common form of naloxone, is used to counteract opioid overdosing). It is a nasal spray. It is standard equipment for paramedics. Since I'm a patient at a pain clinic, I have to have some in my house and my family (also roommates, if I had any) know where it is and how to use it.
