Dear, Anissa. I hope my reply finds you well.
I had an idea of how dangerous fentanyl could be, but reading your infographic shocked me. It is scary to think that such a small amount can be lethal, and it really opened my eyes to how widespread and deadly this issue has become. I know this is a topic that has been very talked about in recent years, but I believe our fight against fentanyl is not over. Your effort to raise awareness is so important, especially with how easily this drug can come in different forms. Thank you for sharing such crucial information and trying to save lives.
Great job!

Many do not know how to recognize an overdose so it is beneficial that you provided a list with symptoms to look out for. It is mind-blowing to see how deadly fentanyl can be with only 2 milligrams and how many overdoses occur daily. Your infographic is an easy read and very informative for someone wanting to know about fentanyl.

Hello Anissa, I have a special appreciation for articles and infographics such as yours that highlight this hard to talk about topic. It’s interesting to read that Fentanyl continues to be prescribed for severe pain management when it is 100 times stronger than morphine. As someone who personally lost a loved one due to fentanyl, the number of deaths from this drug in 2021 sadly did not come as a surprise. I believe this is a very serious topic all should be aware of, specifically the overdose symptoms should be taught so that everyone is aware of what to look out for.

Such an important topic and infographic. You clearly state what fentanyl is and how dangerous just a small amount can be fatal. I feel the photo showing a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl on the pencil tip is very powerful. I also appreciate how you put this issue into perspective by showing how many people have passed and continue to pass daily as well as how to recognize an overdose. Great infographic.

This infographic is perfect for showcasing the danger of the use of fentanyl. It highlights what fentanyl is, in what forms it can come in, and how harmful it can be. The statistics are important to relay because it is a large number and there have been incidents where cops are simply exposed to it and are in harm’s way.

This infographic was very interesting and highlighted such an important issue that is currently being dealt with right now. The visual that you provide of how much fentanyl is lethal is a scary sight to see but it allows people to realize that a very small amount can have significant damage. I also like how your infographic was laid out as it allowed me to fully understand the concept of how dangerous this is.

Amazing infographic! It is beneficial in helping to understand the severity of how fentanyl has impacted our society and how we may encounter it. It had a great flow and was visually pleasing. I view this as an issue that college students should address as they learn to deal with social pressures and become more educated in their decisions. Especially since our age group has the highest drug use rate! I respect that you recognized those who may continue using fentanyl despite your warnings and suggested ways to stay safe. Also as a suggestion, I think it would have been interesting to address how fentanyl alters the brain function of those who survive fentanyl abuse.

I know fentanyl has been a growing concern and problem nowadays. I really enjoyed the different fonts you used to make the infographic easier on the eyes to read, it flows better. It was nice that you included tips to stay safe. I know overdoses have been in the news a lot lately, so it is very vital for people to be aware and know of the dangers. Your infographic is especially important and should be viewed by more people. I was so surprised to find out that Fentanyl was commonly used by anesthesiologists, that was interesting to me. Your infographic was highly informative, excellent job.

The most interesting infographic is the one on fentanyl and how hazardous it actually is. The use of visuals made it easier for readers to remember the material because it was concise and thoroughly explained. The tips to stay safe are a terrific way for us all to contribute to keeping those around us safe because fentanyl is so harmful.
