Laughing Gas Fun Is Deadly

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DN09U9v2nzK/I recently reported the troubling surge in laughing gas recreational use highlighting the damage that this nitrous oxide gas can do to your mouth and throat as it cools.  This rising use of the drug is also killing more of us each year. I am sad to report that 1240 Americans lost their live sto nitrous oxide poisoning between the years 2010 and 2023.This widely-used medicinal gas safely helps to smooth the induction of general anesthesia in the operation room.  In the party room, though, its careless inhalation from pressurized canisters that serve as whipped cream chargers leads to oxygen deprivation, neurological damage, and death.Don’t let that happen to your or your children.  Educate, educate, educate.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2836925#laughinggas #nitrousoxide #whippets #hypoxia #death
