Boxes of opioid antidote are now available around UW-La Crosse campus
The rise of opioid use in recent years, including overdoses of fentanyl, have led UW-La Crosse to place Narcan boxes around the campus.
Boxes containing the medicine that reverses an overdose were installed last week at several UW-L buildings, mainly the 10 residence halls, according to campus police chief Allen Hill.
Hill says there have not been any drug-related emergencies at the La Crosse campus in recent months.
The Nalox-Zone boxes are equipped with sensors which will tell a sponsoring group when the containers have been opened, so they can be refilled quickly.
Officers on campus also carry Narcan with them, but the boxes give people a more immediate chance to halt an overdose.
Other campuses in the system have also installed Narcan boxes.

Sad commentary. Chinese manufacture the “ingredients”.
The “ingredients are shipped to the cartels in Mexico. The cartels manufacture and ship to the US. The cartels in Mexico have no qualms about who they kill.
Americans buy it and a a lot die from the product.
The Chinese must be laughing at stupid Americans.
