This stuff is unregulated and causing a lot of hospital ICU cases in otherwise young and healthy people.
It’s hard to tell what exactly is causing it, bc it doesn’t happen to everyone, and there’s too many variables: different vape pens, substances, distributers. The oil droplets in the vape builds up in their lungs and clings to the natural surfactant (lubricant) in there, causing fluid buildup and respiratory distress. I’ve seen respirations in the 40s as their lungs struggle to breathe (45 breaths per minute, when the normal range is 14-18 ish).
