I was totally embarrassed.

It created air pockets in her veins. Then it went up into her brain and blew it up.’’<br /><br />And in the video here -<br /><br />http://lansing.injuryboard.com/defective-and-dangerous-products/teen-girl-dies-after-inhaling-helium-at-party.aspx?googleid=298510<br /><br />- the girl says the tank was held to the girl's mouth. If that's the case, then she cold well have died from gas embolism rather than anoxic asphyxia.<br /><br />I've modified the post.

Nitrous users occasionally do the same thing: this is why you should use a balloon or a bag or at least a mask without a strap. Not that you should use nitrous anyway; but if you'd rather only kill a few brain cells at once, breathe it from something that you drop if you faint.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358618477570574559noreply@blogger.com
