This infographic is easy to follow and gathers information without anything too flashy. The color fits well with the theme and keeps the reader’s attention throughout the graphic. Fentanyl is such a horrible drug that sadly affects so many young lives. Therefore, it is significant that you brought attention to that issue and gave out the facts needed to understand what the drug is capable of.

I heard about this issue several times quite recently, and it was somewhat new information to me. It is absolutely tragic how many people die from overdose, often having no idea the dangers or that it would even be a possibility. I think it’s good that you included the signs of an overdose and not to use illicit drugs.

This article was very informative because right now in our society people in middle and high school are facing things like this right now. Personally my mom’s twin daughter was on drugs with fentanyl and she was taken to the hospital right away. so this article helps me understand how to handle it if someone I am very close to comes in contact with fentanyl how to handle it. but congrats on getting this article to publish it is such a well-written article.

This infographic really brings to light the dangers of using illicit drugs such as fentanyl. It is essential to note that even if an individual decides against using this specific drug but perhaps chooses to use something such as cocaine, the fact of the matter is that one never knows if it has been laced with fentanyl which further puts one at risk for overdose and death. The way this informative piece of work got straight to the point and allowed its reader to know the dangers and rise of overdoses, or “fentanyl poisoning” since 2021 is very important to our society.

Congratulations on your nomination! This article sheds light on the dangers of fentanyl and its impact on communities. It is alarming to see the rising number of deaths caused by this potent drug. The article highlights the importance of taking steps to combat the opioid epidemic, such as increasing access to treatment and harm reduction strategies. By raising awareness and implementing effective solutions, we can work towards reducing the devastating effects of fentanyl on individuals and families.

Wow, never heard before. It’s really big number of people who died from being overdosed with fentanyl. It will really help by avoiding to use it alone and test our drugs with fentanyl test, which will help us not to be overdosed.

Congratulations on your nomination. Fentanyl is such a dangerous substance I’m not sure way anyone takes it. I liked how you listed the different symptoms of overdose. The fact the more than 150 people die daily from this is crazy. I also like the layout of your design and how easy it was to read. This was very informative and interesting.

This infographic on the dangers of fentanyl is informative and well-designed. It effectively presents alarming statistics that highlight the severity of the issue, while using clear visuals to convey the urgency of the message. The section on recognizing signs of overdose is particularly helpful, as it provides practical information that has the ability to save lives. Overall, a great resource for anyone seeking to learn more about the dangers of fentanyl/ gain an understanding of this ever-pressing issue.

The rise in fentanyl overdoses over the past few years is very tragic and I liked that this infographic brought attention to how lethal it is even in the smallest amount. While the use of illicit drugs isn’t suggested, I do like how the author makes note that not everyone will choose to stay away from them and provided some tips on what to do in the event that someone comes across fentanyl which I think is important information for everyone to be aware of.
