A tragic and immediate danger; petrol sniffing causes 'Sudden Sniffing Death' and permanent brain holes from the first use.
Chemical Suicide
Inhaling petrol fumes is one of the most destructive forms of inhalant abuse. The chemicals go straight to the brain's fatty tissues, dissolving the protective layers of neurons.
Petrol Sniffing: Signs of Abuse
- Smell: Constant chemical odor on clothes and breath.
- Face: Rashes around the nose and mouth ('huffer's rash').
- Eyes: Glazed, bloodshot eyes and frequent headaches.
Petrol Sniffing: Dangers
- Sudden Sniffing Death: The chemicals can make the heart hypersensitive to adrenaline, causing it to stop instantly if the user is startled.
- Brain Damage: Causes 'holes' in the brain (Leukoencephalopathy), leading to permanent loss of balance and speech.
- Organ Decay: Liver and kidney failure are almost certain with regular use.
