tips for avoiding infection and overdose

• test your supply
  Avoid accidental overdose from fentanyl by using these test strips or using a drug checking program to test your drugs before using them.
• carry naloxone
  Naloxone (Narcan®) is a medicine that can be used to reverse an opioid overdose. It can save your life or another’s life.
• don’t mix drugs
  Avoid mixing drugs, which can create unpredictable, dangerous, and even deadly results.
• use new syringes/smoking supplies
  Reduce the chance of getting an infection by using new, sterile syringes, pipes and new works (e.g., filters, mouthpieces and cookers) every time you use.
• never use alone
  You can’t Narcan yourself!  Have at least one other person present who is carrying naloxone and not using at the same time.
