Dusting (inhalent abuse)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dusting is a form of huffing or inhalant abuse, specifically the use of canned, aerosolized computer keyboard cleaner containing compressed gas ^[1].

When a user inhales the compressed gas causing momentary paralysis and a momentary high. Dusting can cause damage to organs such as the kidneys, liver, heart, and brain. It may cause irregular heart beat and cardiac arrest, even if the user is healthy. The compressed air fills the lungs and prevents oxygen from entering the lungs -- leading to their heart stopping. Dusting can cause death.
