Melissa Ann Wright was accused of huffing an industrial strength duster chemical that’s normally used to clean computers.
Someone reported seeing the woman huffing a can of Ultra Duster about 11 p.m. Wednesday inside the Wal-Mart and called 911, according to television station KCTV.
The spray is supposed to be used as a cleaner, and the bottle warns that inhaling it can be harmful or even cause death.
“Once it enters the system it causes the heart to become super sensitive to things like adrenaline,” said Tama Sawyer, the managing director of the University of Kansas Poison Control Center. “So if you are frightened, you can have a heart attack.”
Police called an ambulance, but said Wright refused medical attention.
“It can cause you to pass out fairly quickly because it removes the oxygen in your lungs,” Sawyer said.
One of the most common injuries from huffing is instant frostbite.

Because of those dangers and the fact it can cause a liver or kidney to shut down. The makers of the product added a bitter taste to discourage abuse.

and I take a deep breath and get real highhh
hey hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey, I said hey! What’s going on?!
Bitter taste? Warning label? These people are taking themselves out of the gene pool. It’s already toxic enough, what with the likes of our communist rulers strutting around.
I can honestly say that I never took a girl home from a date looking anything like that.
Thanks. Now I’ll have that tune stuck in my head.
What an airhead. :-P
That’s a picture of a meth addict.
A few years ago we hired a couple of guys to do a day labor job. They didn’t make it till lunch.
guess she never heard of redi-whip...
Holy smokes!
Frostbite? Good heavens!
Freezing one’s larynx can be fatal...
Mom!
They are poorer than they once were, no help on the horizon for them and they have just given up and don't care what they do or what happens to them.
Sure, many of them are/were screwed up to begin with, but the general pulse of the country among the really poor and destitute is not good.
FUBO!
Great, now you’ll have to stand in line with all of the illegals at the pharmacy just to buy a can of canned air.
Huffers are generally crack or meth addicts that can’t afford crack or meth. Had a family member go through this. At 50, he is still as regular a county jail visitor as he was at 14.
This crap eats the brain, and takes away any common sense.
LOL, hadn’t seen that one before.
Seriously, I hope this woman gets some much-needed help.
