Decreased access to healthcare has caused some to rely on the internet.
But, as @LibbyBaney warns in an @NBCNews article, "The vast majority of products offered through online pharmacies are, at best, non-U.S. FDA-approved medicines and, more often, at worst, dangerous fakes."

In total, we tested 17 pills – things sold as hydrocodone, oxycodone, Adderall - and found 71% tested pos. for fentanyl or meth.
TO BE CLEAR, these are laced pills being sold *in pharmacies* in Mexico, including tourist cities like Cabo.

For my first story @latimes, I went to Mexico and got drugs.
Specifically, @ConnorASheets and I went to pharmacies, got pills & tested them.
Turns out, some are selling oxy & Adderall over the counter – but the pills are actually fentanyl & meth. latimes.com/world-nation/sto…

Inbox: FDA announces it has extended the expiration date for at-home Covid-19 tests made by Abbott, iHealth and MaximBio.
Likely impacts some USPS-delivered tests.
Don't throw away tests due to the date on the box.

6/ It's a distant memory now, but the consumer health space was very different in 2013. Online pharmacies weren't a thing. (Most ppl were still using the internet to buy meds illegally.)
Everything else was still standard complicated "healthcare".
