‘This is not just lab grade fentanyl’, this statement was said by a Florida cop nearly died from TOUCHING the drug with glove.

In her revelation, she says ‘street scientists’ are creating superpowered doses (after experts warned it’s not strong enough to kill from contact alone).

The Florida cop who became breathless and started choking after a traffic stop said she overdosed on fentanyl seized from one of the passengers.

This made her to take a shot at drug dealers and ‘street scientists’ for manufacturing strains that are stronger than what scientists have been able to test after she became nauseated and started choking in her encounter in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Bannick was only brought back to consciousness after being administered three doses of Narcan while it is proved that she had ingested opioids.

Experts have suggested it is not possible to overdose from just touching the drug, but cop Courtney Bannick, 26, says she was dealing with a potent variant

She said those experts could be wrong because tests from 2019 and 2020 are out of date and dealers are synthesizing increasingly strong types of fentanyl.

‘This is not pharmaceutical grade fentanyl,’ she said, dismissing the fact that experts have said its a myth that one can get high from physical contact with the drug.

‘I’ve dealt with fentanyl weekly. Nothing happened out of the ordinary for me to have a panic attack. I know it wasn’t that,’ she said in response to suggestions that her falling unwell was unrelated to the seizure of the powder.

Dr. Gina Dahlem, a professor at the University of School of Nursing, said ‘to get high by touch is highly unlikely.’

When asked about studies that have said touching fentanyl would be insufficient to induce a strong reaction, The 26-year-old cop said the tests could be out of date.

‘These tests from 2019 and 2020 may not be accurate. They aren’t dealing [in the lab] with what we are in the streets.

‘This is manmade fentanyl from street scientists. Things are always changing these days and dealers need to be one step above,’ she said.

Bannick said the incident happened in the early hours of December 13 after pulling over a car for committing a traffic violation.

‘There’s a major highway that comes through town so we deal with a lot of people coming through,’ she said.K-9 units were then called to enable her to carry out a search of the vehicle and the people inside. She found the drugs in dollar bill, a common way for drugs to be stored, she said.

‘I have never and will never search a vehicle without gloves on. During the incident that resulted in me overdosing, I had gloves on from start to finish.

Even if you are trying to help someone else you believe might be overdosing, please wear something to cover your hands as an extra step or protection,’ she wrote in a Facebook post.
