Amid fentanyl crisis, parents urged to warn kids about Halloween treats in disguise: 'They think it's candy'
Fox News
With Halloween just under four weeks away kids getting excited to trick-or-treat, should parents be concerned about "rainbow fentanyl" getting mixed in with candy?
That is in addition to the millions of other fentanyl pills that have been seized from the Port of Nogales during the same time period, and cartels are attempting to traffic even more of the illicit drug into other parts of the country, according to the DEA. "They think it's candy. They take it, overdose and die. I think that's pretty serious." Adam Sabes is a writer for Fox News Digital.

The DEA says that two milligrams of fentanyl is considered lethal, which is the same amount as "10-15 grains of table salt." The agency says that fentanyl is "the deadliest drug threat facing this country."
