A neurology specialist registrar at the Mater Hospital has said she has treated six people in the past 12 weeks for damage caused by inhaling nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide, often referred to as 'laughing gas', is growing in popularity as a recreational drug. Inhaling it causes a quick ‘rush’, and feelings of euphoria lasting up to 30 seconds.While it is illegal to sell it to children, or to sell it for human consumption, it is easily obtained online.

Speaking on RTÉ’s This Week programme, Dr Macken said that the gas causes a range of sensory issues in patients who have presented, including a numbness in their hands, feet and extremities, major issues with balance, problems with their heart rate, and mental health issues.The gas deactivates vitamin B12 in the body, which helps to control the brain and the central nervous system. Inhaling it can cause irreversible health problems.

Sinn Féin TD Mark Ward, a former addiction counsellor, says nitrous oxide has become popular among young people"anywhere from the age of 12 up".

B&Q must be happy, sales are up in Nitrous Oxide units. Anyone remember the glue sniffing in the late 70s early 80s?

I kinda think they deserve it, sorry

Not one word about the litter all over the place. They should be made pick it up after they recover from not being able to stand.

While your there ..why not make your self usefull and pick them up, instead of always mounting

The Darwin principle will soon kick in. Problem solved.

Now do 'vaccine' injury ?

Found 4 of these unused in my front garden in past 2 months in ballyfermot…

This is no laughing matter,it is a very serious issue. No mention by the good doctor of how people they have to deal with who are having adverse effects from the experimental 'vaccines'.
