How can children be exposed?
It is not clear how the children at the Bronx day care might have come into contact with any drugs.
But nearly all cases of children being exposed to opioids involved their ingesting the drug, a study published in The Journal of Pediatrics in 2019 found.
The study looked at more than 80,000 records of children under 18 who had been exposed to drugs containing an opioid over a five-year period.
The study found that roughly 99 percent of the exposures involved children orally ingesting it.
