This infographic is IMPORTANT. It is life-changing to read as many individuals have died due to an overdose of fentanyl. It is dangerous and the images as well as text do portray the imperative message you are trying to spread/depict. It is easy to retain as the images do put into perspective it only takes a tiny bit to be lethal and life-threatening. We need to spread awareness and your infographic did that perfectly. I also enjoyed how you shared how to know if one is overdosing as well as how to stay safe.

Hi Anissa! This was a very frightening infographic to read, and I applaud you for tackling such a horrific subject matter. It was really frightening to see that the deadly amount of fentanyl was about the size of the point of a pencil. You have done an excellent job of presenting recommendations to keep safe, from which I am certain that many people will benefit and, hopefully, remain safe in many situations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When you try to take care of yourself and a loved one, it is important to look and make sure that what you are doing and taking is not going to affect you in the long term, where it could get you addicted, killed, and hurt. It is important to do research on any medicine we take, find alternative ways to not take a certain medicine, and to make sure that the public is aware of the effects something could have and if they are willing to take it.
