TranqDope: Understanding the Lethal Mix of Xylazine and Fentanyl

Teaching institutions can't test on people, even willing people to see what it does or how we can fix it. The wound center is actually sending them out with this stuff now.
Picture this: a new, terrifying drug mix is hitting the streets, and it’s causing havoc in the Baltimore and Philadelphia areas. This episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)' dives into TranqDope, a dangerous blend of Xylazine and Fentanyl. Hosts Billy and Jason bring in Nurse Jason to shed light on this alarming trend. Xylazine, originally a tranquilizer, complicates overdoses because Narcan doesn’t work on it. Add Fentanyl to the mix, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Nurse Jason shares how to recognize TranqDope, the severe health risks it poses, and crucial wound care tips for those affected. The conversation also touches on the urgent need for more research and compassionate care for users. Harm reduction strategies and community support are highlighted as key elements in tackling this crisis. If you’re looking to understand the gravity of TranqDope and learn how to help those impacted, this episode is a must-listen.
