I just found out that my wife got some Narcan for my kid’s first aid kit and I was all like WTF? Turns out Naloxone is being recommended to everyone in the US as a just-in-case life saving med and is now available over the counter. It can even be gotten for free in many states (USA), which is apparently how she got it.

Where you aware of this or already have some in your first aid kit?

You find community based distribution info for your state (USA) with this website: https://nextdistro.org/naloxone

    Think of it this way, it might not be your family/kids/friends doing drugs and overdosing, it might be somebody accidentally coming into contact with concentrated drugs where even absorption through the skin can be dangerous.
