PHD issues kratom warning
The Panhandle Health District on Monday issued a districtwide warning for kratom, a drug it says has addictive and overdose potential.
"Kratom, and in particular 7-OH, appears to be a growing problem in Northern Idaho and the rest of the nation,” said Panhandle Health District’s Medical Director, Gregory Pennock, MD. “Deaths associated with kratom use have occurred in Northern Idaho per my communications with the Kootenai County Coroner. The health district wants to increase local awareness of these potentially dangerous products for individuals, parents, educators, healthcare workers, government officials and retailers."
