ELMORE COUNTY, AL (WSFA) - It looks like heroin, and it's even being sold as heroin, but fentanyl is a lethal drug that can be fatal, simply through skin contact.


“It’s killing a lot of folks, and it's reaching folks here in Elmore County," Sheriff Bill Franklin explained.


So far, investigators have made one fentanyl-related arrest, multiple overdoses have been reported.


“It’s a heroin base, mixed with fentanyl," Franklin explained. “These people don’t realize the fentanyl they are taking is about 40 times more powerful than street level heroin. These kids don't have a clue what they are dealing with.”


Many opioid addicts are trading painkillers for heroin, which is cheaper and more accessible. Some of the killer heroin cocktails also include another synthetic drug called carfentanil, it’s 100 times more potent than heroin.
