INHALANTS:  Inhalants are chemical vapors from common household solvents and aerosol sprays, such as glue, spray paint, ink, lighter fluid, gasoline and cans of whipped cream.  When inhaled deeply, some of these vapors can produce a sense of euphoria.  Unfortunately, most can be extremely toxic.  High doses of inhalants force the body and its organs to be starved of oxygen, creating erratic heartbeats and loss of breath similar to the experience of drowning.  In the short term, inhalants may cause heart palpitations, delirium, breathing diffculty, dizziness and headaches.  Long term effects can include irreversible damage to the nervous system, irregular heart rhythms, muscle weakness, headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, decreased sense of smell, violent behavior and dangerous chemical imbalances in the body. Parents, PLEASE be aware of the dangers of inhalants and take immediate action if you suspect their use.

If you have any information about a crime, please post it on the message board or e-mail the police department!!   Information is reguarded as confidential.
