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 tips to stay safe are a terrific way for us all to contribute to keeping those around us safe because fentanyl is so harmful.
