The couple took their two-year-old son to a fire department, saying they were afraid he had eaten an unknown material while someone else was watching him, according to the Butte County Sheriff\u2019s Office on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The office noted that he \u201cwas acting lethargic and showing symptoms of opioid poisoning,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/california\/2-year-old-overdoses-on-fentanyl-parents-arrested-in-northern-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KTLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A nearby medical center sent a helicopter, and medical personnel gave him naloxone to serve as an antidote to the overdose. He was then taken to the medical center to be treated and is being watched by the Butte County Children Services Division.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Officials added that detectives carried out a search warrant in a trailer where they think he consumed the fentanyl. They also discovered methamphetamine and \u201ca small amount of rainbow-colored fentanyl in a silicone container\u201d in the parent\u2019s car. Detectives reportedly think that the drug which was probably consumed by the boy \u201chad the\u00a0appearance of rainbow-colored candy,\u00a0and had been placed in a silicone container in a form which might appeal to a child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fentanyl has increasingly been an issue in the Golden State, even as Attorney General Rob Bonta <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-ag-discusses-fentanyl-crisis-in-press-release-with-no-mention-of-border-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refuses<\/a> to acknowledge the role the border crisis is playing in the uptick in fentanyl overdose fatalities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a recent examination of how fentanyl-related overdose deaths are impacting rural California, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/health\/article\/california-fentanyl-overdose-deaths-17508010.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fentanyl-related-deaths-hit-rural-california-communities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that six people in Butte County died of an overdose related to fentanyl in 2020. That number jumped to 42 in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">California authorities also recently reported that 12,000 suspected fentanyl pills were discovered concealed inside of boxes of candy at a TSA checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport.
