The letters to Washington have been intercepted and some tested positive for fentanyl, he said.

The reported symptoms when US police are “exposed” to fentanyl sound one hell of a lot like a plain old ordinary panic attack.
Yeah, one or two that I saw (online, not in person) looked a lot like anxiety attacks to me too, but it’s hard to feel strongly about that kind of judgment from this side of a video player.
Well, there’s no medical reason for them to convulse and pass out…
So we’re pretty much left with “gets scared and faints” as why it’s happening
Worth mentioning the signs of opiate overdose are the exact opposite of what those cops are doing. And most of them carry naloxone too so it’s not even a big deal if they manage to somehow ingest it
In neurology, psuedo-seizures are a thing.
This entails the person falsely believing they had a seizure. In fact, their movement, mental state, etc, can mimic an actual ictal event.
Often stress and anxiety are at least part of the issue, if not the leading cause.
However, they can be differentiated by EEG.
Source: I support medical staff in hospitals and deal with all sorts of information, my wife is an EEG technician, and oh yeah, I’m epileptic myself. I’ve seen most of the viewpoints surrounding seizures.
But they were nowhere near a school. Crazy stuff
yup… the nocebo effect
If I was a cop with fentanyl on my skin, I might use a narcan just to be safe. Probably get a day off too.
It like the train derailment. No one exposed to any levels high enough to be dangerous but all kinds of symptoms happening.
