I have friend that intervened and confiscated one of her neighbor’s drugs off her and put them in her own pocket. She needed up needing narcan just from having those pills in her pant pocket

Just happened to talk to my friend who’s an anesthesiologist and deals with this stuff every day and he said, yeah, skin absorption could maybe get someone a little high but OD would be tough unless they were swimming in it. I don’t know but I’ll take his word for it.
Having said that, people lie to cops and paramedics all the time if they’re holding a substance so I could see them erroring on the safe side and administering Narcan.

Fentanyl patches (like nicotine patches in method of drug absorption) are not infrequently used by people in chronic pain (terminal cancer etc). Also Fentanyl is used in your local ER via IV for pain relief in patients under going quick procedures (like getting a broken bone moved back into place)
Not intending to steer the conversation to overuse of opioids. Just saying that Fentanyl is not reserved for special use in small doses in the OR by anesthesiologists. There are people in your community prescribed fentanyl for legitimate reasons (and of course people prescribed it for less legitimate reasons or people using fentanyl patches they got illicitly)
