Toxic Powder Threat in New Mexico

In Deming, New Mexico, two Popeyes employees fell ill after exposure to a suspicious substance in the bathroom, prompting a hazmat response — but thankfully, the restaurant reopened the next day. This isn’t an isolated incident: just weeks prior, first responders in Grant County collapsed after responding to a possible overdose. These potent, unpredictable drug mixes — often fentanyl laced with animal sedatives — can cause deadly overdoses even in tiny airborne amounts. Authorities are urging businesses to stay vigilant, especially around restrooms, and first responders are being outfitted with better gear and naloxone to stay safe.
