There are no health risks requiring hospitalization resulting from 'exposure' to meth. While meth overdoses are obviously possible, they are most common when meth is used along with other drugs, and require actually having consumed meth. samhsa.gov/meth

Just a suggestion, but as you are ostensibly reporters so could you please explain that meth exposure is not a thing, my god, does anyone in your newsroom know what meth is?

I’m extremely full after being exposed to donuts today. No one could’ve predicted this accidental brush with glazed carbs. Thoughts & prayers I make a full recovery while my family works through this difficult time.

So did the cops pay you to hide replies pointing out the obvious or are you just running defense for them for free?

it’s too bad that the media continues to provide cover to police officers that do drugs by perpetuating the myth that “being exposed” is enough to send someone to the hospital
