⚠️ Have you heard of 7-OH? You may be surprised where it's being sold.

7-OH is a powerful opioid-like compound derived from kratom. Concentrated products are sometimes sold in convenience stores, smoke shops, and online, often marketed as natural or herbal.

But the latest numbers raise serious concerns.

📊 U.S. poison centers reported 593 exposures involving 7-OH during all of 2025—and 901 in just the first six months of 2026.

That's more reports in six months than in the entire previous year.

Concentrated 7-OH products can cause dependence, withdrawal, and potentially dangerous breathing problems.

Just because something is sold over the counter or marketed as natural doesn't mean it's safe.

Awareness matters. Share this information so more East Texas families know what 7-OH is and understand the risks.
