US EditionTeenager Dies After Inhaling Computer Keyboard Cleaning Spray
- Renna O'Rourke, a 19-year-old from Tempe, Arizona, died on June 1 after seven days in ICU due to a social media trend called dusting.
- Dusting, a form of inhalant abuse also known as chroming or huffing, involves breathing in chemicals from aerosol sprays used on computers to achieve intoxication and can lead to sudden sniffing death syndrome, a fatal condition related to inhaling toxic substances.
- Renna's parents, Dana and Aaron, reported that the spray was easily accessible, did not show on typical drug tests, and the family aims to warn others and pursue legislation.
- Dr. Randy Weisman stated inhaling these chemicals replaces oxygen in the lungs and body, causing irreversible damage, and described the trend as "extremely concerning."
- Renna's organ donation saved at least six lives, and her family seeks to prevent further deaths by sharing her story and addressing inhalant abuse risks tied to social media.
