I just wanted to give a friendly reminder Not to inhale any types of fumes or chemical vapors including air freshener, perfume, glue, paint, gasoline, nail polish/remover, markers, whiteout/correction fluid, aerosol spray can such as 'computer duster'/cleaner, gasoline and others products as my friend had gotten a traumatic brain injury (tbi) and other permanent damage such as to her bone marrow (fatty inner lining of the bones) from when she was age 12, now a lot older. In addition to having problems with balance and coordination, severe short-term memory loss, an unrelenting dizziness that may feel like the flu, a nystagmus which is a quick, involuntary eye movement due to damage to the cerebellum (part of the brain that helps with balance & coordination) and finds it difficult to focus her eyes on object. She also has a grating at the back of her neck when nodding her head up and down which is most likely from the bone marrow damage among other problems. Please heed this warning as some don't realize how debilitating and deadly the substances household or industrial products can be when inhaled or 'huffed' that are found right underneath the kitchen sink or in the garage. The products are also very flammable and are extremely explosive. Not trying to preach but please be well and make good choices :)

I realize that you're just kidding, but her life is really altered due to inhalant use as she has permanent, life-long damage. Please be well and make good, healthy choices in life :)
