But inside the apartment appeared to be a drug mill, where illegal drugs are made.

There they found what they believed was heroin mixed with fentanyl which is a growing trend that is quite deadly. 

Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine.

The equivalent for an overdose is just two grains of salt. 

This is believed to have caused all seven officers to be sick as the whole midnight shift of the precinct needed medical care after complaining of nausea and light headedness.

The officers, who were rushed to the hospital, are all expected to be fine according to a source to NBC New York.

Police are treating the substance at the scene very carefully as it is a very serious concoction.
