13-Year-Old Critically Injured After 'Huffing' Propane Gas
From the Hartford Courant in Connecticut
In early September, police and EMTs were called to respond to a case of a 13-year-old boy suffering an allergic reaction. It turns out it was not an allergic reaction; instead, he was suffering the effects of huffing propane.
The article notes he had suffered “a severe case of frostbite to his eyes, mouth, throat and lungs as he inhaled the gas that comes out of its container at 40 degrees below zero.” He also suffered significant tissue damage.
After being rushed to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, he was put into a medically induced coma. Earlier reports that the boy's hands were amputated are untrue, according to a spokesman for the boy's family. The boy, who was not identified, was released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon.
The director of the Connecticut Poison Center is quoted “A frostbite injury would appear as a burn. The end result is the same — damage to the tissue." He also remarked, “A severe case of inhalation of propane can interfere with blood circulation. The tissue then dies and it becomes gangrenous."
He also reports that “there are several cases a year in Connecticut in which youngsters are severely injured by inhaling propane to experience a high.”

Teens Charged With Vandalism
From WFIE 14 News in Evansville, Indiana
According to a Gibson County heating and air technician (HVac tech) area teens are actively ‘huffing’ refrigerant to get high. Refrigerant, a chemical coolant most commonly found in air conditioners, refrigerators, and car engines contains high concentrations of toxic compounds that can elicit cognitive impairments and limit brain functioning if ingested.
The HVac tech describes the alarming influx of calls he has received over the past few months, all from local customers requesting repairs be made to their ‘faulty’ air conditioning systems. After receiving 10 customer calls in one month from “clients claiming to have similar problems… missing service caps and empty tanks of refrigerant,” the technician called the police- on a hunch that local teens were behind the tamperings.
After a thorough investigation of the vandalized AC units, police confirmed that local teens had in fact been ‘huffing’ the refrigerant - “taking the fill caps off the AC units to access the refrigerant for a quick high.” Several Gibson County teens were implicated in the incidents and are facing stiff penalties for stealing refrigerant. The investigation is ongoing.
Exposure to refrigerant can prompt painful chemical burns, frost bite, permanent vision loss, and even death. These dangers are the reason HVac technicians are required to wear gloves and special eye wear when installing refrigerant into a unit. Many technicians recommend homeowners to purchase special locks for their AC units to deter such acts of vandalism.
