HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Emergency responders in Huntington saw a wave of overdoses in a short time-span Monday afternoon and evening.

Cabell County 911 says they had 26 overdoses reported within 4 hours, beginning at about 3:30 p.m.

In August of last year, they responded to 39 overdose calls the entire month.

"We had a half-hour span where we had absolutely no trucks to send in the county," Cabell County EMS assistant supervisor David McClure said.

Some of the earlier OD calls occurred on the 700 block of West 10th Street, behind Marcum Terrace, and on Sycamore Street. That's where the first call came in, in which five people overdosed in the same house, McClure said.

"Most of the people waking up are admitting to using heroin," McClure told WSAZ.

Part of the investigation now will be to confirm exactly what made this batch so dangerous and where it came from.

"In the past we've had situations where it's been laced with drugs like fentanyl and other drugs like that, and it does seem to be a possibility today," McClure said.

I can't reveal my sources, but I "hear" that the toxin involved was an ingredient used in animal sedation.....particularly elephants.

At the same time that this happened in Huntington, there were surges of heroin over doses in Cincinnati and Mount Sterling.

Looks like a couple dozen in Louisville on Tuesday.... wow.
