(33,643 posts)You think the person at the evidence room is like 'well I'm about to rifle through this suspects belongings, I better put on hand sanitizer right before I START!'
They might think of it AFTER, but it's less likely they do it immediately before. And if, as you say, the police are advised to not use it if exposed to fentanyl on their hand ... that is actually just another reason why it's UNLIKELY to actually occur.
The totality of the sequence of probabilities I outlined, with each one being a point of failure towards OD-level exposure ... is VERY low.
Lastly, the number of doses of naloxone needed in fentanyl OD's is not relevant to the equation here, because my overall premise is that a cop going through a suspects belongings is not likely to be exposed to large doses in the first place.
