Narcan / Naloxone for first aid kits (nextdistro.org)

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

Kids get into shit. Older kids try shit. So, yeah, it's a good thing to have, even if nobody in your home is prescribed opiates, or uses illegal opiates. All it takes is one bad turn.

And, since it's cheap/free,keeping it around for other people than your family is just being broly, though I would recommend taking a decent first aid class that covers narcan use.
