Wellington-Guelph Drug Strategy is issuing a risk of drug poisonings as there has been 26 incidents since August 29th and 46 since August 21 including two deaths.
These numbers are more than double from the same time last year.
\These poisonings are believed to be linked to sedatives and veterinary tranquilizers which are not opioids and in so naloxone will not work.
The drug strategy says the current drug supply is unpredictable and highly potent, especially substances that look beige or light yellow.
Recent poisonings have caused severe sedation, slowed breathing and a slowed heart rate.
