A LAWYER has revealed the terrifying reason why you should never take a prescription pill unless it's handed to you by your pharmacist, according to what she's seen on the job.
Lawyer Carrie on TikTok said she has seen a concerning amount of prescription drugs that seem legit but are actually "counterfeit with traces of fentanyl."
TikTok user @carriedjernigan1 gave her 1.2million followers tips based on her experience as a lawyer.
In this video, she shared the exact ways that she treats prescription drugs based on horrifying crime lab results that she has witnessed.
"I will not ever remove any prescription pills from outside the original container that I got them in," Carrie said.
She said she even avoids any travel pill organizer when she is in the car or traveling.

She said that many people will try to be helpful and may offer a spare pain pill if you, say, have a toothache and need to wait a few days before you can see the doctor.
"Lots of people would take that without thinking twice," Carrie said.
"And I will just tell you I would not do that right now."
"The amount of crime lab reports that are coming back with medication that looks like it came straight from a legitimate pharmacy and it is counterfeit with traces of fentanyl is insanely scary."
She emphasized that she would never take medication unless it was directly handed to her by a pharmacist.
Many commenters agreed that Carrie's advice was sound based on their own experiences.
"TRUTH! I learned this during my internship with the Public Defenders office," someone said.
Another person commented, "This is such great advice."
"As a healthcare professional for us to have any unprescribed medications in our possession would be trouble," they continued.
"Amen – I work in probation and you are absolutely correct," another person said.
The Elle Woods-inspired lawyer also has given advice on what to do if you're wrongly accused of stealing at a self-checkout in stores like Walmart or Target.
