Montana Attorney General Attorney Austin Knudsen came to Billings Friday to talk about a new program to put in high schools, life-saving Narcan kits, which combat fentanyl.
billings Senior High School was the first in the state to receive the Narcan.
“Two grains of salt is about 2 milligrams,” said Knudsen, a Republican. “That is enough fentanyl to kill most adults in America.”
Knudsen has given this talk and warning to thousands of students.
“If you come across somebody who’s doubled over or lying on the ground, their lips are purple or blue and they’re not breathing, that’s most likely a fentanyl overdose,” Knudsen told two gym classes on Friday morning.
Knudsen’s office is putting Narcan, also known as opioid-reversal kits, in Montana high schools, with the first going to Senior on Friday morning.
