If smelling gasoline weren't a health hazard enough, meet the girl who drinks it.

Lifting a red gas canister before the cameras, a girl named Shannon demonstrates her claimed addiction of drinking gasoline for TLC'S television program My Strange Addiction.

'It tingles at first and then it, it burns the back of my throat,' Shannon says describing her toxic habit which reaches up to 12 teaspoons a day.

'Even though it hurts me, it makes me feel good,' she says, of either licking the cap or drinking it straight out of the canister which she says is her favorite way.

Give that child a cigarette.

And stand back.

Sometimes dumb just needs to be removed from the gene pool.

I wonder if she developed a taste for it by stealing gas from other cars by siphoning it out.

I know people who joke about caffeinated coffee as being “Leaded” and decaf as being “Unleaded” - the difference there being it’s only a joke.

It’s 2012 and people can become famous for becoming famous. The new age is about whatever gets you on TV.

Is this possible? I’ve gotten gas in my mouth is a failed siphoning attempt. Nasty stuff.

If it’s true, I can only imagine that she must have started huffing it and somehow built up a strong tolerance to it. It’s normally impossible to drink gasoline without regurgitating it involuntarily. That’s why people suspect the rock singer Bobby Fuller was murdered; his stomach was full of gasoline, and he couldn’t have kept it down voluntarily, so that puts the lie to the “suicide” theory.
