Wisconsin is facing a fentanyl crisis—one that in places like Milwaukee County—kills more people than homicides, suicides and car crashes combined.

What exactly is fentanyl? It's a synthetic opioid that's 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was created to help cancer patients deal with pain management by using a patch on the skin—but like so many drugs—it's abused. That's because fentanyl can be made in a lab. 

Whether you're in Milwaukee or Wausau or Eau Claire, fentanyl is affecting people in every area of Wisconsin.
