What's 'dusting'? Deadly trend that claimed life of US teen

Dusting, also known as huffing or chroming, is a social media trend where people inhale common household cleaners to get high. Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, warned about the potential dangers of inhaling household cleaners. He said inhalation can lead to inflammation and irritation of the lungs' delicate tissues, causing respiratory distress and coughing. In severe cases, it can cause chemical pneumonitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and even death, he added. Even if the exposure is not fatal, it can have long-term effects. Dr. Padegal said non-fatal exposure could lead to chronic respiratory issues like reactive airway disease (similar to asthma), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and other long-term lung problems. It could also cause neurological damage.

Implications For Partner Hospitals & Facilitators: Partner hospitals such as Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, can leverage this information to educate patients and the community about the dangers of inhalant abuse. By raising awareness and providing resources, healthcare providers can play a crucial role in preventing such incidents.
