America has a deadly addiction to opioids, and Aimee Sandefur has both the emotional and physical scars to prove it.“I got them right there,” she says, pointing to track marks on her arm. “I have abscess. That was an abscess where they had to cut my arm open.”Sandefur has overdosed dozens of times, saying she’s lucky to be alive.“I overdosed 35 times, and by the grace of God I’m clean and sober now,” she says. “I didn’t think I was going to make it.” In Dayton, Ohio, local leaders are calling opioid and heroin abuse a national epidemic. “I described it then as I do now as a mass fatality event,” says Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger. Dr. Harshbarger says in 2017, there were so many opioid-related deaths that his morgue ran out space to the store all the dead bodies.“Our numbers were astronomical,” he says. “We ended up with about 566 overdose deaths in 2017. But we’re a regional center, so we probably ended with 1,400 overdose deaths that we handle in 2017.” During that time, Dr. Harshbarger says up to 75 percent of all the cases his team handled were overdoses. Now, that number is down to 40 percent.“Oh my God. America has a huge problem with opioids,” says Helen Jones-Kelley, executive director of the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Dddiction & Mental Health Services. “Even though we’re seeing some of the numbers begin to drop, it hasn’t decreased the overall problem by any stretch.” Jones-Kelley says despite a decrease in overdoses people are still using and still dying from these drugs. In an attempt to keep users alive, her team has now changed its approach. “Before we used to just turn our heads. Now, we get involved,” she says. “We’re giving people information, so hopefully they won’t use but if they do, they use in a way that they won’t die.” Also helping to save more lives is the access to more NARCAN for more people.Some, however, say saving an addict only gives them another chance to do more drugs. “It’s a drug that, unfortunately, once it gets you it gets you,” says former opioid-turned-heroin user Daniel Duncan.After his prescription of pills ran out, Duncan turned to the streets to fill the void.“A lot of people--when they found out or I told them--they were like, “Not you, man. You’re black,’” he says. “It doesn’t discriminate.” After years of lying and stealing to feed his fix, Duncan was finally able to kick his opioid addiction, but only after serving time in jail. “I say there is hope. Don’t give up. Don’t give up at all,” he says. “You deserve much more than that. You’re better than that. It can be done.” While some can overcome their drug dependencies, others say they lost things that they can never get back.“My mom came beating on my door, and I’m like, ‘Mom, I don’t have no crack,’” Sandefur says. “And she’s like, ‘I know you have crack’ and I’m like, ‘Mom, I don’t have no crack; I have heroin.’”Sandefur says she unintentionally gave her mom a lethal dose of heroin. “Next thing you know I hear screaming downstairs, and my mom is lying on the living room floor blue in the face dead,” she says.Since her mother’s death, Sandefur says she hasn’t used drugs but that she ended her addiction too late.“I wish my mom was still here,” she says. 3246

Air France confirmed on Wednesday the death of a stowaway who was discovered in the well of the landing gear after a flight from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, bound for Paris. In a statement, Air France said it was saddened by the incident and that an investigation is underway.According to BBC News, the stowaway was a child, roughly aged 10. It is unknown how the child was able to get into the landing gear. While there have been a handful of instances when a stowaway survived in the landing gear of a plane, there have been a number of recent examples of stowaways dying. One notable recent example happened last year as a stowaway fell from a plane on its final approach to London. 692

About 1 out of 5 high school students in the U.S. say they vaped marijuana in the past year, and its popularity has been booming faster than nicotine vaping, according to a report released Wednesday.“The speed at which kids are taking up this behavior is very worrisome,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the federal agency that pays for the large annual teen survey.Electronic cigarettes and other battery-powered vaping devices mostly heat a liquid containing nicotine into a vapor that’s inhaled, In recent years, they have been increasingly used to vaporize THC, the chemical that gives pot its high.The University of Michigan survey asks students in grades 8, 10 and 12 across the country about smoking, drinking and drugs. About two-thirds of this year’s 42,000 participants were asked about vaping marijuana.Vaping nicotine is still more popular: about 1 in 4 high schoolers said they had done it at least once in the previous year. But vaping marijuana grew more quickly: 1 in 5 high schoolers had done it at least once the year before.About 1 in 7 high school seniors this year were considered current users of marijuana vaping — they had vaped in the month before they took the survey. That’s almost doubled from 1 in 13 the year before.Overall, marijuana use — in all its forms — is holding steady. It’s not clear if students are switching to vaping or continuing to use other forms as well, said Richard Miech, who oversees the survey.Daily marijuana use rose in both middle school and high school kids in 2019, and “if you want to be a daily marijuana user, vaping makes it easier,” he said.It’s odorless and slips easily into a pocket. “You can just kind of graze on that all day,” he said.The survey is in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which also published results of a different survey in 2018 that showed an increase in marijuana vaping among middle and high school students.Both have limitations: the surveys rely on what kids say, and it does not include teens who are not in school. Federal and state laws ban minors from using marijuana recreationally, and prohibits sale of vaping products to kidsThe Michigan survey was conducted earlier this year, before reports of a surge in cases of vaping-related lung damage, mostly in teens and young adults who used black-market THC products.Volkow said the illnesses “may scare some teenagers away” from vaping marijuana.The survey also found most other forms of teen drug use are flat or declining, including alcohol, ecstasy, heroin, cocaine, and meth. An exception was LSD, which has been increasing in 10th and 12th graders. About 3.6% of high school seniors said they’d dropped acid in the previous year.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives 2797
