-- Between 2010 and 2014, Fentanyl was a factor in 577 deaths in Ontario
-- At the core of the issue is Fentanyl is being added into other drugs (for example,cocaine), and is increasing the overdose/death rate of users
-- Health Canada estimates that a lethal dose of pure Fentanyl for a typical adult is as little as two milligrams, which is approximately the size of a few grains of table salt
