So they "THINK" they're potentially dying, and considering most of them are likely not drug users, that would track.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a statement to NPR saying the agency does believe some officers nationwide have experienced medical symptoms after encountering fentanyl. None of those cases involved actual overdoses and none appeared life-threatening.

I'm sure there's some fear, but the rest of the job isn't exactly puppies and blow jobs.Del Pozo believes the real risk to police officers from street fentanyl isn't accidental overdose. He says the more serious health impact is being caused by anxiety and stress, driven by fear.
"Imagine you do a job every day where you just think being near a certain car or a certain person [who might have fentanyl] could kill you," Del Pozo said.

Analysis piece, so grain of salt, but still this would be very welcome news.
