HOLY SHIT READ THIS!!! it could save your life

i got this email from a firend and read it and its pretty scary. a couple of weekends ago we were screwing around with this dust-off stuff and didnt think twice about it.

First I'm going to tell you a little about me and my family. My name is Jeff. I am a Police Officer for a city which is known nationwide for its crime rate. We have a lot of gangs and drugs. At one point we were # 2 in the nation in homicides per capita. I also have a police K-9 named Thor .He was certified in drugs and general duty. He retired at 3 years old because he was shot in the line of duty. He lives with us now and I still train with him because he likes it. I always liked the fact that there was no way to bring drugs into my house. Thor wouldn't allow it. He would tell you.

The reason I say this is so you understand that I know about drugs. I have taught in schools about drugs. My wife asks all our kids at least once a week if they used any drugs. Makes them promise they won’t. I like building computers occasionally and started building a new one in February 2005. I also was working on some of my older computers. They were full of dust so on one of my trips to the computer store I bought a 3 pack of DUST OFF. Dust Off is a can of compressed air to blow dust off a computer. A few weeks later when I went to use them they were all used. I talked to my kids and my 2 sons both said they had used them on their computer and messing around with them. I yelled at them for wasting the 10 dollars I paid for them. On February 28 I went back to the computer store. They didn't have the 3 pack which I had bought on sale so I bought a single jumbo can of Dust Off. I went home and set it down beside my computer. On March 1st I left for work at 10 PM. At 11 PM my wife went down and kissed Kyle goodnight. At 5:30 AM the next morning Kathy went downstairs to wake Kyle up for school, before she left for work. He was sitting up in bed with his legs crossed and his head leaning over. She called to him a few times to get up. He didn't move. He would sometimes tease her like this and pretend he fell back asleep. He was never easy to get up. She went in and shook his arm. He fell over. He was pale white and had the straw from the Dust Off can coming out of his mouth. He had the new can of Dust Off in his hands.

Kyle was dead.

I am a police officer and I had never heard of this. My wife is a nurse

and she had never heard of this. We later found out from the coroner

after the autopsy, that only the propellant from the can of Dust off was in his system. No other drugs. Kyle had died between midnight and 1 Am. I found out that using Dust Off is being done mostly by kids ages 9 through 15. They even have a name for it. It's called dusting. A take off from the Dust Off name. It gives them a slight high for about 10 seconds. It makes them dizzy. A boy who lives down the street from us showed Kyle how to do this about a month before. Kyle showed his best friend. Told him it was cool and it couldn't hurt you.

It’s just compressed air. It can’t hurt you. His best friend said no. Kyle's death was wrong. It's not just compresses air. It also contains a propellant. I think its R2. It’s a refrigerant like what is used in your refrigerator. It is a heavy gas. Heavier than air. When you inhale it, it fills your lungs and keeps the good air, with oxygen, out. That's why you feel dizzy, buzzed. It decreases the oxygen to your brain, to your heart. Kyle was right. It can’t hurt you. IT KILLS YOU. The horrible part about this is there is no warning. There is no level that kills you. It's not cumulative or an overdose; it can just go randomly, terribly wrong. Roll the dice and if your number comes up you die. ITS NOT AN OVERDOSE. It’s Russian roulette. You don't die later. Or not feel good and say I've had too much. You usually die as your breathing it in. If not you die within 2 seconds of finishing “the hit.� That's why the straw was still in Kyle's mouth when he died. Why his eye's were still open. The experts want to call this huffing. The kids don't believe its huffing. As adults we tend to lump many things together. But it doesn't fit here. And that's why it’s more accepted. There is no chemical reaction. no strong odor. It doesn't follow the huffing signals. Kyle complained a few days before he died of his tongue hurting. It probably did. The propellant causes frostbite. If I had only known. Its easy to say hay, its my life and I'll do what I want. But it isn't. Others are always effected. This has forever changed our family's life. I have a hole in my heart and soul that can never be fixed. The pain is so immense I can’t describe it. There's nowhere to run from it. I cry all the time and I don't ever cry. I do what I'm supposed to do but I don't really care. My kids are messed up. One won’t talk about it.

The other will only sleep in our room at night. And my wife, I can’t even describe how bad she is taking this. I thought we were safe because of Thor. I thought we were safe because we knew about drugs and talked to our kids about them. After Kyle died another story came out.

A Probation Officer went to the school system next to ours to speak with a student. While there he found a student using Dust Off in the bathroom. This student told him about another student who also had some in his locker. This is a rather affluent school system. They will tell you they don't have a drug problem there. They don't even have a dare or plus program there. So rather than tell everyone about this “new� way of getting high they found, they hid it.

The probation officer told the media after Kyle's death and they, the school, then admitted to it. I know that if they would have told the media and I had heard, it wouldn't have been in my house. We need to get this out of our homes and school computer labs. Using Dust Off isn't new and some “professionals� do know about. It just isn't talked about much, except by the kids. They know about it. April 2nd was 1 month since Kyle died.

April 5th would have been his 15th birthday. And every weekday I catch myself sitting on the living room couch at 2:30 in the afternoon and waiting to see him get off the bus.

I know Kyle is in heaven but I can’t help but wonder if I died and went to Hell

what a dumb kid though, if his dad is a drug officer he should know risks about stuff like that, i do, i know its fucking retarded to huff dust off, its common sense

HOLY GOD DAMN!!! i swear to god i did that 5 hours ago. i will never do it again. thank you.

I must find the perfect spoon.
 
and you didnt realize it could kill you prior to reading this? read the back of the fucking can.

it IS fun to spray on shit and feel how cold it is though, i wouldnt want that in my lungs though

Hmmm... makes you wonder. I mean, if he was a pothead, he might be alive today... some kids just need to experiment no matter how stupid it is or how informed they should be based on their parents' warnings. If they can't get it from mainstream drugs they'll try to find another, in this case more dangerous, way. I don't want to say pot could've saved his life, but repressing the urge to try things out by making it more or less impossible probably was a contributing factor. Completely tragic.

On another note, I never thought a variant of Wippets would make a comeback... I don't know anyone who's tried this dusting thing.

 
^have some fucking sympethy. This guy just lost his fucking son. The back of cigarete have a warning too fucker. Hey man, really sorry about your son. Thanks for the warning too.

maybe atlantaski wants michael innocent cuz he was molested by him 4 years ago when his dad sent him to neverland ranch for a day and now he wants michael free so he can penetrate one more time-Lateralis

 
It wasn't this guy, if you read his post, he says it's an email he received from someone else. And I agree, it's horribly tragic, as I said before... I was just thinking about it and that's what came to mind.

 
Youve got no grounds to say that shit man. I sort of understand the logic, but the fact that if he would have done a different drug, does NOT discount the fact that he may or may not have "dusted". His chances probably increased for doing it, if he were to smoke pot.

If it only gave you a 10 second high, who the fuck cares? That's like bashing your head against a rock...

 
i would just assume that inhailing dust remover would be a bad idea...

like mattster333 said, don't you think that inhalling the contents of a spray can might be harmful? that is just plain idiocy. while his death is tragic, he had it coming. common sense would have saved him, not the use of a different drug.

weh have a shit load of that shit in my house.....i have never inhaled or anythin but i always spray my brother and shit...now ill never do that...

I just want to say that we all appreciate that knowing how hard it is for u to write something like that...but doing it to try and save others.

Thank you and my deepest smpethies go out to u and ur family

 
it wont save my life because no person in their right mind would experiment with shit like that. its fucking stupid.

wow.. just the idea of inhaling that shit makes me feel sick. I agree with Tannaka thats fucked up that Walmart will sell somethin like that but Weed is illegal. If that kid had been able to smoke pot and get drunk with his friends occasionally, he probaly wouldnt of felt like he had any reason to try that stuff. reminds me of that movie Thirteen

no, moral of the story is that sucking on dust remover is not a wise thing to do, if that weren't obvious enough.

i stick with JDs point, maybe if he wouldn't have been so restrictive on the drugs, the kid wouldn't have resorted to such stupid fucking things like Dust-off. it's the dog's fault

=======================

don't take me for a joke, i'm no comedian. too many mental problems got me snortin' coke and smokin' weed again.
 
shit thats crazy

one of my crazy friends like hits whole bottles at a time of that shit like 3 times a day and nothing happened to him

While this does seem like a logical point, the fact remains that people do drugs for different reasons. Why does that matter? Sounds like this kid had a good family who cared about him and he was just curious. So in this scenario, yes weed might have been a better solution to kill his curiosity. But, what if it was a kid who was doing it to escape reality and dull the pain of a tough life. Weed may get old to that kid and pain may get harder and new drugs (cocaine, heroin) could come along that "dull the pain" better. I know my post sounds like some shitty motivational speaker, but I have seen this happen. Everyone in life will make their own decisions for their own reasons, that you cannot change. Learn from this kid’s mistake and know that even less lethal drugs for some people have the same longer term consequence.

...my two cents take it or leave it. JD has a point but it should not be taken as a generalization to be true of every person's situation.

^yeah true, but i would say that in like 98% of cases, most ppl dont become drug addicts from trying weed.

It would be just like saying that some people over consume alcohol.. some people even lose their homes because of alcohol (becoming addicts).

 
if you turn the can upside down and spray it on some one, it freeses their arm, but dont do it too much, it can kill the nerve endings in their arm, or wherever you spray it.... but i have never heard of this and i'm not going to tell any one to give them ideas... or i might warn them of the out come.

Yeah, I know... it could easily be untrue. I wasn't trying to make a hard argument, just a thought about how things MIGHT have turned out differently. I mean it's not as if this kid was the only one DOING this dust crap, apparently the kid down the street did it too, and who knows what his parents were like. It was just something that occurred to me.

 
have you all seriously never heard of this before (we used to call it crop-duster). This has been known for a long time. Its classified with other over the counter, readily available inhalents. It can also kill you by freezing your lungs (if the can is inverted). There are so many inhalents that anyone can buy its disturbing. These things can cause so much damage and death its crazy how many people still use/abuse them. Want to see something truly disturbing, see if you can find any of the documentaries on huffing and the mexican (I believe) orphans that carry around little bags and spraypaint, constantly huffing. These kids are basically zombies living on the streets because they have done so much brain damage. Hell, some of them constantly have paint rings around their mouths from the paint in the bags.

life is too short to have any regrets
 
Damn, I was playing with that stuff last week, you can freeze stuff if you spray it upside down. Zach hellmuth froze my leg and now i have a red mark so i froze his hair haha

When I worked at camp last year there were about a dozen 14 year-olds sniffing that Axe body spray. Same kind of shit... kids are dumb. I yelled at them and told them it would be safer for them to do coke. I was supposed to take them for about a week to Quebec City for a trip, and none of those kids got to go. I hope they learned a lesson.

 
Stuff like this happens all the time, its just everyone doesnt make a chain mail letter about it. I think most kids should know not to breath in chemicals. You have my sympathy but god kids are getting absolutely retarded

that horrible for that guy, most of felt like he failed his son... yeah and ive never heard of that before either. o and febuary 28 is my birthday...kinda weird

 
I have a can of it on my desk. I just used it about 15 minutes ago to dust my computer. I've never inhaled it though. That's scary stuff.

 
holy shit, that really makes you think, some kid at my school does that and he should probably know about that, thats really sad, im sorry for that cop

Same deal with other drugs, your all idiots

umm its very sad and I wont say other wise, but think about all the letters people could write about, my kid sniffed coke and died, my kid overdosed on herion and died, like this shit is happening everyday and many times a day. The world is depressing like that.

I also found it odd that people who make racist jokes about african americans/canadians and jewish people being enslaved and murdered but look at this topic so seriously.......

that's a terrible story.But if you put yourself in the ignorant kid's skin, I guess you'd just think " o well, im just going to inhale air from that can. How could air hurt me???" . JD's right, but on the other side you cannot blame the father for preventing his kid from doing drugs. I mean, nobody wants their kid to be a stoner, but its stupid from the cop to think pot is a dangerous drug that should not be experienced, its similar to the dangers of cigarettes, with that extra feeling... Stupid, yet so normal kid...
