State Forensic Labs gearing up for quick analysis and confirmation of Carfentanil; quick action needed because responders can die from trans-dermal absorption of a single grain or inhalation of a single grain of this illicit substance.

To illustrate the chasm which separates adult, self-administrating, abusers from Police and Medical responders; the professional adults who want to finish their shifts and return to their families are deeply concerned in knowing exactly what substance they are handling/coming into contact with  while the abusers either do not care or are trusting strangers along a path which begins with manufacture, distribution, lacing/cutting, smuggling and sale.
