In Switzerland you have to get a certificate to make your driving license and are required to have a first aid kit in your car. If you get stopped by the cops and they find the kit in your car is expired or is not to the norms you can get a fine.
What I carry most of the time with me is a Kinder-Egg capsule with latex gloves. I have them im all my bags. (You can get fucked real bad if you touch a bleeding person with your bare hands. A small cut on your hands is enough for the nastiests illness to be tranfered. At the course for certificate they made sure to tell us all about the risks.)
Also as far as I know in Switzerland, if you fail to help someone you can get can get in trouble with the law. It goes from a small fine to up to 3 years in jail.
I doubt Switzerland has the same issues as the US, but fentanyl can be absorbed through a latex glove. I switched my gloves to nitrile. Added bonus- don't have to worry about latex allergies.
This is 100% false.

Fentanyl risks via skin contact is a myth.
Nitrile gloves are important for many reasons (allergies are a big one as you mentioned), but fentanyl isn't one of them.
Huh. I work around a lot of people who use and that's what we were told. I carry Narcan in my bag as well.
One of the cops that does security told us that they had some powder they found test positive for carfentanyl about a week ago, so I'm expecting the OD's to come around any day now.
Yep. The whole "Fentanyl is killing first responders" myth is absolute bonkers and in a lot of cases you can't even find any fentanyl whatsoever.

In the end it is nothing more than a marketing scam paired with intentionally goverment misinformation.
Pure copaganda from big babies who had a panic attack
