The DEA confiscated 7.8 million deadly doses of fentanyl-laced pills and powder in Houston in 2022.
"Overdoses as you know, as per the CDC, have skyrocketed," explains Deputy Special Agent in Charge Tracey Mendez with the DEA Houston Field Division.
"In November 2020, which was the second time, he spent 18 days in the hospital, was on a ventilator and then pulled through," says McGuffi. But then last year his son died of Fentanyl poisoning. Most who buy it believe they are taking a prescription pill such as Oxycontin, Percocet, or Xanax. The fakes look like the real thing, according to the DEA, and are mostly made in Mexico by two specific drug cartels.
