Xylazine in illicit drugs increasing overdose risk 

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:25:26 GMT

The Los Angeles Department of Public Health has issued a health alert that warns residents of the increased risk of overdose and death associated with xylazine, which is becoming more present within illicit drugs in California. Xylazine is a sedative and muscle relaxant used by veterinarians to anesthetize animals. It can be cooked down into a powder form and mixed with illicit opioids such as heroin or fentanyl or pressed into counterfeit pills or sedatives. When mixed with opioids and depressants, xylazine’s effects, which include sedation and respiratory depression, can lead to a fatal overdose. Xylazine was detected in San Francisco and San Diego drug samples in 2023, which may indicate that it is “most likely present within the drug supply in Los Angeles” according to the Department of Public Health. The Department of Public Health also warns that most people purchasing illicit drugs are not seeking xylazine and that they will most likely not know that it is present i...

Helicopters airdrop hay to NorCal cows stranded in snow

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:25:26 GMT

HUMBOLT COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) -- As winter weather continues pummeling Humboldt County with precipitation, herds of cattle are left stranded in snow without access to food. Several feet of deep snow and downed trees blocked local ranchers from reaching their cows, and the ranchers alerted county officials of the dire situation. "We’ve had some unprecedented weather over the last two weeks, and we’ve received multiple reports of cattle dying off because ranchers cannot get to their cows due to impassable roadways," Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said. "These cattle are an economic driver, they’re starving and they’re calving right now. So all those things necessitate some drastic measures."Honsal said, "We won’t know until the snow melts how many cattle have died due to these conditions. But I know this for certain, if we don’t act, there’s going to be way more that do die and it will be a catastrophe for our county."A herd of cattle is seen on a snowy mountain. (Image c...
