Salisbury Incident

Very strange - the BBC report is short on information and high on paranoia :

Actually, it just looks like it was someone being sick on a bench after taking fentanyl - but the over-the-top secrecy is just alarming people :

Fentanyl is one of the most deadly poisons known, just 3 milligrams is fatal. That is just 0.000003 gram. Full 'biohazard' equipment is vital to clean up a spill, contact with vomit alone from a person who has swallowed it could kill a lot of people

Eddie - at least do the maths properly - 3 milligrams is .003 grams
3mg might well be a fatal dose **if injected**
I'm not saying they didn't need the biohaz suits and full major incident protocol - just that the original BBC item was needlessly scary as it witheld information that was available elsewhere.

As soon as I heard about this I thought it was another Litvinenko episode. Russian spy defecting to UK being poisoned with something called polonium which was deadly and could have killed anyone it touched. As for Fentanyl, my Mother had this in patch form after being put on an "End of life" plan. She was on 50mg and the patches lasted 3 days. She lived for another 15 months and died at 97.

yes we most certainly are.
You local hospital uses it every day on every operating list as it is such a good analgesic ( pain killer ) . It is also a powerful respiratory depressant ( stops you breathing ) and so it is necessary to maintain respiration.
It is also a drug of abuse ( a bit like Trama dol) - God knows why.
You can die if someone pukes fentanyl laden puke over you ? - well not really - it is used by injection
Laurence Harvey's daughter died from it - fentanyl patches are available. Day-zir-ay or someone - she worked as a bounty hunter in Amerikee. Nope I am not making this up. Had intractable back pain - you see and zooped a litte too much

A derivative of Fentanyl was what was used in the Nord Ost theatre show siege by Russian special forces, to devastating effect (they managed to kill many of the hostages).
It doesn't sound as though the initial identification of the substance though was correct. It may have been something not seen here before.
