While you’re correct regarding the hysteria surrounding airborne/skin-contact fentanyl, you’re wildly incorrect about the dosages.

Funny that you mention the LD50 of mice, but not of monkeys, which is as low as 0.03mg/kg (IM/IV).

You’re talking about micrograms (mcg). Your wife didn’t receive more than 3mg. She’d very likely be dead or at least have been quite sick.

How's your math, they say 3 milligrams of fentanyl is enough to kill the average person. Fentanyl can be deadly if airborne in high concentrations in confined spaces. If the fire hadn't occurred and that 20 lbs was some how released in his apartment it would have killed everyone in the building. There needs to be legislation that would make fentanyl possession a serious enough crime to carry a many decades in prison sentence without parole.

Its very legal. State and fed agencies can cross-report things under various codes. In this case, its more than justified as the firefighters came across drugs and weapons giving cause to a possible drug lab and various unknowns. With fire and safety an issue, a warrant can be issued on the spot to clear any possible explosives or chemical hazards. On top of that, all fires are crime scenes, which changes how privacy and warrants work.

You should keep them around. They are probably the same bricks used in the building of something in your house and are/will be useful in repairing that thing when it eventually needs it. That will give you a near perfect repair appearance, rather than trying to source new bricks that match the color and size of the originals.
