SparkliiQTMTSU · #1 08-13-2003, 12:39 AM

Ok I know this sounds really strange well it does to me any way but a good friend of mine that i have know since 5th grade just died a couple of hours ago. she was doing something she shouldnt she was doing some extacey and she had an asthma attack anyways she went to use her inhaler and it backfired on her and she hit the intercom in her house and her dad heard it. anyways he called the ambulance which rushed her to the hospital but there was nothing that could be done for some reason. I dont even understand how something like this could happen. Has anyone ever heard of anythinglike this before I mean its just beyond me that Ive lost a good friend b/c of an inhaler backfiring.

Um.. did the E have anything to do with it at all?

Didn't Krissy Taylor's asthma inhaler have something to do with her death?

I've had asthma since I was nine. By now, I know how to handle my inhalers, and I usually take them well before I imbibe any recreational drugs or alcohol. It's just too risky.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your friend, but I've been an Albuterol user for almost 20 years now, and I haven't had any problems with it. I'm not saying that inhalers aren't 100% safe, but there's more risk with Exatsy than inhalers.

I've watched too many MTV True Life episodes to know what the E can do to your brain. Never touched it and never will...that isht's just too much.

Well now people are saying that she wasnt doing anything or that they dont really know if she was or not which i didnt think she was b/c she was not doing anything at all anymore but all I know is that she was admitted to the 11th and was put into ICU and died tonite at 8pm I just didnt think an inhaler could cause a death.

Yes! You are correct. It was a very terrible accident but the worst part was she wasn't supposed to be on an inhaler.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

Oh, that is sad!

I use 3 inhalers (Albuterol, Flovent and Serevent) and had no problems

It's not from the XTC, believe you me. XTC doesn't cause asthma attacks. The can be sparked by many of things. I have asthma. I use albutuerol, this type you have to use with a nebuelizer. I've done XTC for over 6 years, the last yr only about 8 times, and have never been affected by it. Now, I'm not saying that I've never had to not use my nebuelizer while rolling....because I have. But, it was usually because I was smoking stupid Newport ciggerates while rolling, about a whole pack in 3 hours. On top of all that I was also inhaling a Vick inhaler...I was fucking up my whole respirtory system.

Then there's the wippet factor with rolling....I don't know if she was doing wippets A.K.A Nitros oxide A.K.A laughing gas, but that can also cause problems. Like the idiot I was, I usually did about 72 ( 3 boxes) of those little wippets in a 6 hour time frame....most of the time spilt with me and whatever current girlfriend I had. If she was doing wippets it could have sparked an asthma attack. When you do those you're not only depriving your brain of oxygen ( hence the intense fuck up aka wippet land you're in.) but also you're lungs. If you resesitate a wippet, that is exhaling the used nitrous oxide/waste carbon dioxide into the mouth of another person and they inhale it as if it were oxygen...do it back and forth...thats when shit starts getting intense. It is a very fun place to be and kinda hard to realize what exactly it feels like until you've tried it....but it's bad for you. It'll damn sure make you wanna have sex. I honestly feel like those things have done more damage to me than anything else I've done. I quit doing them over a yr ago. My point, check and see if she had doen wippets, thats probably what caused it. If not that, it was from smoking cigs.
