Lambton Public Health is warning Sarnia-Lambton residents about more dangerous unregulated drugs in the area. The advisory says two new substances detected in Ontario may increase the risk of opioid overdoses. Officials note that standard doses of naloxone may not be enough to reverse effects. Residents are urged not to use drugs alone or mix with alcohol, know overdose signs, and carry naloxone. Free kits are available at LPH, local pharmacies, and partner health agencies. In an overdose, call 911 immediately and administer naloxone if available.
