Fentanyl Crisis: Professional Cleanup Saves Lives

Fentanyl Has Been Such A Major Issue In America, How Does Your Team Handle This?

The silent epidemic claiming 200 American lives daily lurks invisibly in our communities. Chad Mallonee, owner of Hazard Clean Restoration, discusses the shocking realities of America's deadliest substance—fentanyl. Since 2018, nearly a quarter million Americans have died from this odorless, colorless killer that's now the leading cause of death for adults 18-45.

What makes fentanyl particularly terrifying is its potency—50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine. Just two milligrams, equivalent to a few grains of salt, delivers a lethal dose. The substance manifests in unexpected places: homes, hotels, daycares, and public parks. Chad recounts heartbreaking stories of toddlers who died from simply crawling on contaminated carpets or playing in parks where fentanyl residue lingered.

The cleanup process presents life-threatening challenges even for professionals. Fentanyl residue clings tenaciously to fabrics and infiltrates ventilation systems, remaining deadly even when spaces appear clean. Chad's team approaches these environments as high-risk hazardous zones, donning full-body protective suits, triple-layer gloves, and powered respirators. They employ specialized wet cleaning methods and neutralizing chemicals to prevent aerosolization of particles. For those experiencing fentanyl exposure, Narcan provides a critical lifeline by blocking opiate receptors and potentially reversing overdose effects when administered promptly.
