The Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement are warning Floridians about a drug called the "super pill" that looks like a regular prescription pill, but is mixed with an extremely powerful painkiller.
The painkiller, called fentanyl, is one hundred times stronger than morphine, and is so powerful, it's dosed in micrograms instead of grams.
"I knew that someday I would get that call, that they found her laying with a needle in her arm. I knew it," Carol Howard said.
Howard is talking about fentanyl.
Her 31-year-old daughter Tara Burke died when a small amount was mixed in her heroin.
Fentanyl isn't just laced with heroin: it's now turning up in pills on the street and sold as Percocet or Xanax.
The super pill is even here in southwest Florida.
"We've actually seen some of the super pill here at the treatment center," Brandon Short of White Sands Treatment Center in Fort Myers said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is seeing it in their crime labs with deadly results.
"Every time you put the super pill into your body, you're playing russian roulette with your body and with your health," Short said.
The super pill is now contributing to a trend of fentanyl-related deaths in Florida, a number that's rising over the years.
There were 136 fentanyl-related deaths in florida in 2012, then 185 in 2013, then 397 in 2014.
With the super pill on the scene, Short said it's hard to see those numbers getting smaller.
He urges parents to warn their kids not to take their chances, because if they do, it could be deadly.
"When you go to sleep, typically you go to sleep and you don't wake up," Short said.
Because the super pill is disguised to look like a prescription pill, it can be hard for law enforcement to detect, and I-75 is the perfect corridor to getting this pill all across our state.
