San Diego city and county officials are coming together to raise awareness about the danger of fentanyl for National Fentanyl Awareness Day. This comes as overdose deaths continue to rise at an alarming rate throughout San Diego County. Local students got a chance to learn more about fentanyl with a sobering visit with the man who sees the deaths firsthand. A total of 80 students from San Diego High School and Mission Hills High School were able to see what a lethal amount of fentanyl can look like, how the drug is tested, and even see real people who were affected. “This is a very serious situation, we should just be aware of it and look for the signs," said tenth grader, Jisela Mora. “I’ve never seen an overdose before, so what I learned I can go home and tell my brothers, my parents, my friends what it looks like so if they’re ever in a situation like that they know what to do," added student, Sierra Colum. The students heard from Dr. Steven Campman, the county’s medical examiner and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Joseph Hathaway.
