Fentanyl Cleanup Questions From Hayesville and Clay County

What does fentanyl residue look like?

It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.

Can I clean fentanyl residue myself?

It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.

What should I do if someone may have been exposed?

Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.
