Manitoba Harm Reduction does have test strips available, but those are only effective in detecting fentanyl in substances. People can send drugs away for testing by visiting getyourdrugstested.ca, a free and anonymous Vancouver-based service, but that can be a time-consuming process, said Machado. Since the drug alert was first issued by Prairie Mountain Health last week, there has been an increase in overdoses in the community, said Destiny Cathcart, co-chair of the Manitoba Harm Reduction Network's Brandon peer advisory council. Some substance users are accessing drugs such as methamphetamine, not realizing they may contain benzodiazepine, she said.
