Hospitalized Woman Arrested For Inhalant Abuse

From My Fox Spokane (June 30):

She "consumed duster in an attempt to get high" a police report explained. The 27-year old woman in question was previously arrested on DUI and battery charges. Still, it is unclear how long she abused inhalants.

Police say an acquaintance found the woman unconscious near a pool of vomit. She was then roused from her state through a nudge but used her energy to spray more duster into her mouth. She was treated at an area hospital and arrested.

This woman is one of over a million Americans who abused inhalants during their lifetime. Although she was arrested, the women survived a high that could have taken her life. Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome, a chemically induced cardiac arrest, causes a staggering 22% of inhalant-related deaths.
