does seem risky but OTOH they are very rarely prescribed other than in terminal illness, and I think many people in that state of health would often have a carer looking after the meds and/or be very unlikely to have small children running about the house.

Thus if the medicines were kept safely in a high cupboard (as they always should be) the risk to kids is fairly minimal.

TBH I think the house was probably robbed by addicts who knew what they were looking for.

A derivative of fentanyl is also the same stuff Russian (i.e neo-Soviet) special forces used in gas form to re-take the cinema that got jacked by the Chechen guerilla fighters in 2002 (this was an even stronger form designed by KGB in the 1970s).

They used so much of it it poisoned a lot of the hostages (particularly the children) as well as their bodies were stressed and run down from lack of food..

Fentanyl derivates (particularly immobilon) are also used by vets for euthanasia of small and large animals and probably would be indicated if/when human euthanasia is permitted.

Nasty stuff, definitely best avoided if you want to stay alive..
