Simply touching fentanyl cannot cause an overdose. Only ingestion can.

Let's continue focusing on facts, instead of fear. When sticking to the facts, people who are responding to an opioid overdose are more likely to follow through with the encounter, rather than being too scared to act.

When someone is overdosing and the individual responding to this overdose is frightened for their own safety - this can be dangerous for the person experiencing an opioid overdose as the response is either slower or doesn't occur at all. What we can provide when responding to an overdose is rescue breathing and Narcan - which Red Project gives out for free!

Try to never walk away from an overdose. Unless you directly snort, ingest, or inject fentanyl you're going to be unaffected. Even the fentanyl dermal patches for skin take hours to start working (up to 24 hours), and they're specially formulated for that task.

Don't let misinformation cost someone their life. As someone who’s held the power of Narcan in my hands, I've seen it - how a single moment, a single choice, can mean the difference between life and death. If you’re ever in the face of an overdose, don’t hesitate. Call 911. Stay there. Act. Because if it were your life hanging in the balance, you’d want someone to do the same.

It’s worth it. It’s always worth it.

Harm reduction is about dignity, safety, and meeting people where they are. By prioritizing compassion over judgment, harm reduction saves lives and strengthens communities.

At Red Project, we are committed to evidence-based, person-centered care that supports people who use drugs, people living with HIV, and all those impacted by systemic barriers. Through education, advocacy, and direct services, we work to reduce harm, challenge stigma, and build a world where health and justice are accessible to all. Harm reduction isn’t just one thing - it’s a framework built on essential pillars that create safer, healthier communities.

Harm reduction is for everyone. It’s not about approval or disapproval - it’s about meeting people where they are and making sure they stay alive, stay safe, and stay supported.

Knowing what’s in the substances you’re going to use is important - and something people who are using regulated substances are generally always offered. Individuals using unregulated substances are not afforded this, except at Red Project (and with testing strips to a lesser degree!).

Red Project offers free and confidential drug checking using an FTIR spectroscopy machine, allowing us to tell you the chemical makeup of whatever you bring in. Anytime from 12-4PM Monday through Friday we can take less than half a grain of rice worth of your substance and tell you the chemical makeup - allowing you to make a more informed decision about what you’re putting in your body ☀️

Even when something doesn’t come with an ingredient label, Red Project has your back. Questions? Give us a call or visit our website to learn more:
