Three people have died and 19 others were rushed to hospital after coming into contact with an unknown substance.

Authorities were called to a home in Mountainair, New Mexico, on Wednesday to a suspected overdose involving an unidentified substance.

According to New Mexico State Police, they arrived to find four people unresponsive inside the home, with three of them having since died.

Officials said that during their response 18 first responders were exposed to the substance and transported to hospital.

A statement said they are 'currently being quarantined, evaluated, and monitored', with two of them listed as being in a serious condition.

New Mexico State Police added that they believe the substance to be transmitted only through contact and do not believe it to be airborne.

A statement added: 'There is currently no threat to the public. A secure perimeter has been established, and the affected area remains limited to the residence.

'The New Mexico State Police are leading this ongoing and active investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.

Meth/Fentanyl I would assume, but this must be some very pure stuff.

Yikes. How do you protect yourself from drugs like that? First responders most likely have gloves on, but most likely not masks. Easy to unknowingly touch your face. Scary stuff.

Prayers up .... saw this ...

The big question is why were there 18 first responders in this little trailer? My guess is it could have been a Red Phosphorus meth lab that produced Phosphine gas. It wouldn't be the first time. pic.twitter.com/RTq9kPhXRk— Dave Toussaint (@engineco16) May 20, 2026

“””” in Mountainair, New Mexico””””

Some of the die hard NYC people probably think the fresh air took them out.

Almost sounds like they were making Ricin or Sarin, with that many people seriously ill just from exposure

I have a neighbor who looks just like Walter White, and is, in fact, a high school chemistry teacher. I am not making this up.

We went camping near there about 20 years ago, in the southern tip of the Manzanos.

The weird thing I remember were all the “this property is NOT for sale” signs along the highway.

It must be challenging to be a realtor around there.

This is pretty scary to me. My plan was to go to California and do some meth so I could get either dentures or implants (free). Now it may just be too dangerous.
