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.

This infographic was truly amazing not only was it jam packed with information, but it also had a really good design and effective pictures. Fentanyl is extremely dangerous and while the most the population has heard about this drug, there are still a decent amount of people who are unaware of the dangers this drug posses.Creating an infographic like this is truly wonderful because it allows people to see how utterly terrible fentanyl is, and the dangerous effects it can have.

This is the main drug of recent years, where all the news stations speak of the rise of incidents among teenagers if I remember correctly. 2 milligrams are lethal! That’s almost nothing! Thank you for providing overdose symptoms to help us if we ever encounter a medical emergency, you’ll save lives! Thank you for providing this infographic, it was short and simple!
