is a common sight in san francisco's tenderloin district. >> the simple explanation it's a degree of loss of consciousness and a degree of loss of muscular control. >> fentanyl is responsible, but the effects of the opioid continue to linger on as the person continues with their daily life, in most cases awake but not able to stand up. we bumped into andy berger, who tried to explain his physical state at that moment. when did you use last? use fentanyl. today so it's still obviously in your body? >> yeah. for sure. >> and you're not able to, you know, straighten up. >> i mean, i can it just like it hurts a lot to have to do that. >> fentanyl can be both a short acting drug and a long acting drug. so some people, they're back upright in 45 minutes to an hour, and some people could be longer than that. >> doctor daniel ceccaroni is a ucsf professor of addiction medicine. he says fentanyl in long term users takes time to clear out of the system, because

the drug tends to accumulate in the fat tissue. the research community has yet to determine if fentanyl impacts your spine at all. berger, meanwhile, told us he's more concerned about his swollen legs than his back. >> people's legs, legs swell up, sores on them like that. >> what researchers think might be happening there is that because the chemical is acidic, in some cases, it eventually makes veins collapse. >> i just didn't care about anything. drugs was my only driving force every day. >> benkhert profeta once a heavy fentanyl user, weighed only 100 pounds when a spine infection sent him to the emergency room. >> i wore a hole in my leg from being in the wheelchair so long and that got infected. and then that infection went into my spine. >> mind you, campofrio had existing back issues. his pain is what drove him to addiction. the use of fentanyl made his condition even worse because of that infection in ucsf, surgeons

had to remove two of his discs. and as seen in this spine health animation, two implants were inserted, providing more spacing between the vertebrae. this relieved the pressure on the nerves. kemper ferreira now lives in oregon and considers himself among the few able to get off fentanyl. earlier this year, he hiked the well-known camino de santiago de compostela in spain. that's approximately 550 miles. how's your back? >> my back is great. i'm in better shape than i've been in since i was 20. i exercise every day, i'm. i stay very active. i'm just. i'm very grateful that i had the second chance at getting my life together. for now, i'm great. i'm staying healthy. and that's. that's the most important thing to me in san francisco. >> lyanne melendez, abc seven news in san francisco. >> the debate continues over

harm reduction versus abstinence, and ben agrees that it can backfire if you force someone into treatment. but he also acknowledges that the reason he is clean, free of fentanyl is because he was forced to be hospitalized for his back. still to come on abc seven mornings. frustration grows in the middle east. turmoil in israel's war cabinet as the idf forges ahead in rafah. plus severe storms across the south hitting millions of americans. we take a look

man. >> that's a lot of rbis. guys from our system. guys that you know came up with as giants are now getting a shot with the big league team and getting probably their best chance ever. so yeah, it's been a jolt energy for us. and you know it's like i said it's been a really good feeling in the dugout. >> chiefs head coach andy reid and kc sporting his classic hawaiian shirt watching the a's and royals. kc is going to be at levi's in october for a super bowl rematch. remember that top two two nothing game? seth brown two run shot to center. all of a sudden we're tied on his fourth of the year. bottom five though still tied at two. a starter ross stripling gives it the go ahead run to vinnie pasquantino rbi single, three two. royals and when he does something good, a squatch appears there in kc a's lose five three. that's seven straight losses. they're up to ten games under 500. moving day at the pga championship valhalla in louisville, kentucky justin thomas grew up in the area and the hometown kid. check this out on 14. talk about a shot of the

. that is your look at sports. have a great sunday. let's send things back to you. >> thanks chris. will the giants take on the rockies again today? first pitch is at 105. and then we're about an hour out from the start of bay to breakers. how's it looking, lisa? >> pretty nice. you know, the forecast really on track for the partly cloudy conditions that patchy fog at the coast and the upper level pattern here shows much of the same systems to the north, dropping off to the north and east of us. and high pressure well offshore. and that's what's making for the breeze. but as this system slides over to the east, then we'll get into a northerly wind and that will bring the temperatures up. look at sfo that is brightening up where we have just a little bit of fog out there. it is 52 with the fog. half moon bay 51, san francisco 53. in oakland, hayward is at 56 and sunny in san jose. good morning. 54 emeryville. right now it is sunny where temperatures have dropped off from redwood city to petaluma in the mid and upper 40s. elsewhere, 51 in santa rosa

with some patchy fog up through marin, but that all dissipating quite quickly. so because of the blanket of low clouds lifting so early, we're anywhere from 3 to 7 degrees cooler and by the next couple of hours climbing through the 50s, thanks to less wind and more sun. but then that wind is going to pick up. so this is the forecast for low to mid 50s for the runners. and then by the time most of them reach the ocean it will be in the 60s with those winds increasing. so patchy coastal fog this morning. so tomorrow and tuesday featuring more sun in the warming trend winds out of the north that downsloping wind that allows for temperatures to come up. and we're going to shut off that onshore flow a little bit. and then later in the week, the gusty winds return with more of a generous marine layer. so from 8 to 9:00, the low cloud deck really dissipates and it's gone. so we're with a lot of sunshine today and the winds increasing.

so 8:00 we've got winds over 20 miles an hour in oakland. and then through the afternoon they not only build inside the bay, but they get quite gusty along the coast from 43 miles an hour point race to over 20 half moon bay, san jose, about 23 mile an hour wind gusts. here's a look at oracle park today. another win hopefully on tap for the giants low 6105. and we're breezy with the winds kicking up to nearly 20 miles an hour. but temperatures coming up maybe a couple degrees there. and then the fog. it will be patchy again tonight. as for your tuesday, that's the warmest day of the week where numbers will be in the mid to upper 80s. and notice the reds there into the sacramento valley, probably about 90 upper 70s by the water in richmond. so this is the warmest day. and then as we get into some minor cooling on wednesday, gets cooler right here along the coast. but staying with that 80 degree range inland by thursday, everyone feeling a little bit more of a breeze with temperatures dropping off to mainly 60s and 70s around the bay, we're going to get even

cooler than that as another system sets up to the north of us, and that's going to bring a chilly start, unfortunately, to the memorial day weekend. highs today from the mid 60s to the upper 60s. that's average san francisco and oakland. another day in the mid 70s for you in san jose, about 80. in santa rosa. so with that sun sooner you're going to warm up inland where upper 70s in concord. and then tonight, with the clear sky dropping off into the mid 40s, some of the protected valleys to near 50 and the accuweather seven day forecast. we're sunny and slightly milder today. upper 50s. that's cool at the coast, 70 around the bay, 80 inland. the warming begins tomorrow and the summer-like warmth takes us through the 80s inland. on tuesday and then cooler the second half of the week. >> stephanie. lisa, thank you. we're learning about trash and pollutants from homeless encampments that are now causing problems for the city of san jose and valley water. and now a new proposal from the santa clara county water district that's aims to fix it is actually stirring up some

controversy. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey has a look at the impact for many being unhoused is not a choice. >> like ruben salas, who lives in this encampment along the guadalupe river in san jose. unmanaged and unclean conditions are ■not ideal, but it's the ony option he has. do you like living here? would you prefer living somewhere else? >> well, you know, i kind of choice, i make, i make, i make, make the best of what i got. you know, i try not to complain. >> i'm trying to fight about it. >> you know, it might be bad, but you sure? yeah, it might be. but it's all i got. you know, we're about to do. >> and soon. living here may not even be a possibility. since july, valley water has spent nearly $3 million cleaning up 1300 tons of trash along 295 miles of rivers and creeks in santa clara county. and to stop people from living along the waterways. valley water is proposing an ordinance that would subject violators to $500 fines or up to 30 days of jail time. >> it's valley water's role as an as an environmental stewardship agency to ensure

that the waterways are clean and that the flood protection measures that we enact work as they're designed to. >> the city of san jose and mayor matt mehan have been trying to find their own solutions to clean up creeks and rivers, as well. but he doesn't want the 700 people who live along valley water's owned waterways to move out to neighborhoods with no plan. we need to work with them to identify sites where we can stand up alternative shelter, basic services, sanitation, case management, security and create a dignified and safe alternative to encampments. unhoused advocate sandy perry sees the value in clean water, but he says the only reason people are alongside the creeks is because the city and county are not offering the unhoused enough places to go. >> so this whole idea of having people go back and forth from the creeks to the neighborhoods, the neighborhoods to the creeks, uh- endlessly. it's not a solution. >> valley waters environmental creek clean up committee will discuss the issue friday before

a final boarvo in june in san jose.

and temperatures slightly warmer around the bay and inland. 70 to 80 there. only upper 50s with those winds gusting along the coast. our warm up really is monday and tuesday. and then after that, the bay and inland will stay warm where the breeze kicks up by wednesday along the coast. and that takes us through the weekend, which brings the cooler temperatures, the gusty winds and more fog. so plan on the nicest days monday, tuesday. >> look forward to that as 80s and we'll get rid of that meg ray. right, exactly. thank you lisa. thank you all for joining us. >> this is abc 724 seven. >> in san francisco, live at levi's stadium in san jose. >> live in oakland. yeah >> you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. here we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are where you are. >> never miss a moment of the news that matters to you.
