A Michigan teen inhaled helium from a balloon as a joke to make that high-pitched voice that sounds like a cartoon character. However, the after effects are not laughing matter. The 12 year old passed out, become hypoxic, and spit up. The girl was able to get oxygen back into her lungs, and is now doing fine, but this family has definitely learned the results of inhaling helium.
The mother of the girl is grateful that her daughter is okay,
"but she wants to warn other kids and parents about the dangers of
inhaling helium, whether it's from a balloon or a tank. 'I think
it's important to get the word out,' she said. 'Kids are dying from it.
A lot of people aren't aware that this can kill you.'"
