#MedToxTuesday ➡️ bit.ly/3UAKGLT%E2%A... Men's Health spoke to ACMT President @ziadkazzi.bsky.social, ACMT member @ryanmarino.bsky.social, and others to separate fact from misinformation when it comes to defining and measuring what is "toxic."

Publication: Black patients less likely than white patients to receive outpatient treatment referrals after #opioid #overdose ED visits, per ToxIC Fentalog study. Findings underscore need to address disparities in post-overdose care. ➡️ bit.ly/4l1hFE2 @toxicologist12.bsky.social

➡️Publication Alert⬅️ @toxicacmt.bsky.social #Bromazolam, an emerging illicit benzo, was found in ~8% of 341 nonfatal opioid/stimulant ODs across 17 U.S. EDs. Patients w/ bromazolam had higher #fentanyl levels, despite similar fentanyl detection rates. ➡️ bit.ly/46sPU3M

🚨Publication Alert🚨 bit.ly/46U3nl6
#Xylazine found in 1 in 5 nonfatal #opioid #overdoses across 10 U.S. EDs, mostly alongside #fentanyl. Exposure highest in NE vs. rare in the West. Regional trends underscore need for targeted public health responses. #MedToxTuesday
