Inhalants & Poisons Awareness Information
Inhalants & Poisons Awareness Week March 15-21.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, ordinary household products which can be safely used for legitimate purposes can be dangerous in the hands of an inhalant abuser. Because these products are legal, a young person may not realize the potential harm.
Symptoms of abuse may include sores around the nose or mouth, bloodshot eyes, or a chemical smell on one’s breath. Behavioral symptoms may include personality changes, hallucinations or constantly smelling clothing sleeves.
