The original numbers were startling enough 30 heroin overdoses across Cincinnati in a single weekend.
Then they just kept climbing.
Seventy-eight more overdoses and at least three deaths were reported during a 48-hour period Tuesday and Wednesday.
And at the end of last week, after a six-day stretch of emergency-room visits that exhausted first responders and their medical supplies, the overdose tally soared to a number health officials are calling unprecedented: 174.
On average, Cincinnati has four overdose reports per day, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported, and usually no more than 20 or 25 in a given week.

But pure heroin is whats responsible for that average. And thats not whats on the streets now, they say. The culprit responsible for the staggering number was probably heroin cut with the latest opioid boost meant to deliver consumers a stronger, extended high carfentanil. Thats a tranquilizer for, among other large animals, elephants. And its 10,000 times as strong as morphine.

Opiates are wrecking havoc.
