Let me guess, you probably wouldn't try CPR are someone either.

Nope. Because I don’t know how to do it.

Or they may be at a party/event where someone needs it. Don’t be dense PP.

Not my kid’s problem.

It’s everyone’s problem..you must not have a teen. It’s a great way to have open communication. Too many opportunities for things to be spiked or laced and teens experiment. It may not be your kid but could be their friend or neighbor in the hall. Get out of your bubble and wake up. Not my kid. Sheesh.

+1 Even if you are 100% positive your child would never take recreational drugs, two kids died at Ohio State after taking fentanyl-laced Adderall pills. So ask yourself, are you absolutely confident your kid will never panic before a big test or lab, and buy some "study aids" to help? Because the very kids whose parents are sure they will never be in this position are often the ones so worried about failure that they will do anything to succeed.

Genuinely asking how Narcan would have helped in those cases because I looked it up and it sounds like they were found when it was too late.

True, but a third student was found in time during the same week and presumably the same batch of tainted Adderall. The point isn't that it would have saved those two kids, but rather that party drugs are not the only way someone could end up accidentally overdosing. As a result, it makes sense for even kids who would never do drugs recreationally to keep narcan on hand in case one of their peers makes a bad decision.

Do you also require your kids without allergies to carry an Epipen with them wherever they go?

+1,000

Uh no. Because those with allergies carry it themselves, dingbat.

DP. Sure, but maybe they forgot. And people can develop an allergy at any time. It’s fine if you want to carry narcan, but it’s not logically different from carrying an EpiPen or inhaler “just in case.”

I agree that those two things are very similar. If someone was handing out free epipens, I'd grab one and put it in my purse, if I wasn't already carrying two for my own kid. If I was somewhere in public and a friend or stranger was having a life threatening allergic reaction, I'd use my kid's epipen rather than watching them die.

But, at this point, the only way to get an epipen is through a prescription, and I don't think the rules allow doctors to prescribe epipens to people who don't have allergies. Maybe those rules should change.

No trolling. Just another poster who agrees. Sorry you can’t fathom people that think carrying Narcan around is ridiculous.

Sincerely curious about this mindset: Is it also ridiculous to go through CPR training? Because if you encounter a stranger who might need it, that's not your problem?

Yes, it is ridiculous. I don't know how to do CPR nor do I care to learn. I am not a medical professional. Sure, I would help someone out in an emergency but I'm not learning CPR just in case.

Ok I will say what no one else will. People don’t try to get themselves in a position where they need CPR.

I don't know a single parent that doesn't know CPR. You learn infant/child and then recertify for age 12.

I don’t know any parent that is actually certified in it. It requires taking a course and keeping up with it yearly. Never learned infant/child or “recertified” for age 12?? That would imply an initial certification which I never did as an adult. I have two kids. In high school we were forced to learn it on a dummy and I absolutely hated putting my mouth on the alcohol wiped dummy’s lips.

Do you ask people? I don’t know it and don’t think many I know other than medical and emergency personnel know.
