The Oneida County Overdose Response team is issuing a public health advisory regarding xylazine. A drug used in veterinary medicine to tranquilize animals particularly horses.
Xylazine, in combination with other drugs, has been detected in the toxicology reports of three fatal overdoes in Oneida County this year.
The drug is only approved for animals because it’s known to be harmful to humans.
Xylazine can produce significant harmful and unexpected adverse effects including:
Central nervous system depression, such as blurred vision, disorientation, dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty moving, slurred speech and fatigue.
Respiratory depression, such as shallow or stopping breathing
Cardiovascular effects, such as low blood pressure and slower heart rate.
The team issued a public health advisory about xylazine Friday.
The tranquilizer is only approved for use in animals because it is known to be harmful to humans, according to the advisory.
The county reviews toxicology reports for fatal overdoses, which alerted officials to the local use of xylazine, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente Jr. said.
“The drug supply is unpredictable and constantly changing so monitoring toxicology results provides important early warning information about the local drug environment and helps us to alert the community to identified dangerous trends like xylazine,” he said.
Adding to officials’ concerns, similar reports have come in from other places in the United States and New York, including a recent advisory issued in Monroe County, he noted.
“The future is here. The future is now. Let everyone know the future is in Oneida County.”
Those were the closing words of Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente Jr. on Thursday, giving a short speech during a day-long opening for the Innovare Advancement Center in Rome.
In a sign of the times, the center held a virtual opening in September 2020.
A more formal opening was held Thursday, with a litany of local and state dignitaries.
Originally dubbed the Open Innovation Campus, the $12 million computer technology research center at Griffiss International Airport was first unveiled in August 2019. It was designed to give scientists and companies a place to use quantum information processing to analyze and improve computer technology, among other research areas.
