Fentanyl Residue Questions Answered for Shoreview, MN

What should I do if someone may have been exposed?

Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.

What if I find powder at work or in a public place?

Do not touch it, and keep others away. Tell a supervisor or the property manager and call 911 if anyone is ill. A cleanup team can clean the area afterward. Employers should also follow their own safety procedures.

Can residue be on clothing or belongings?

It can. Clothing, bedding, bags and furniture in an affected space may carry powder. Do not shake them out. A team can advise on what to bag, clean or discard.

What does fentanyl residue look like?

It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.

What do police and firefighters do about residue?

Responders deal with the emergency, collect evidence and make the scene safe. They do not usually clean the space afterward. Once the property is released, the owner or family books decontamination.

Does a cleanup team test for fentanyl?

Some teams offer sampling and some do not. Rules for testing and clearance vary by place. Ask the team what it checks, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
