How do you end up in the hospital after breathing in second hand albuterol?

I've never heard of anyone having an allergic reaction to (what was most likely) inhaled albuteral. As a matter of fact, it is often used to relieve the symptoms of allergic reaction. And how much could the teacher possibly have ingested from having it blown into her face? There must be more to this story, because what I read doesn't make sense.

Any pharmacists out there?

"The family, though, says he's a good kid and the charge of using deadly force simply doesn't fit the crime.

Does anyone but me see where this leading? All I can say is keep your kids out of public schools.

It doesn't make sense. The next thing you know they will be jailing kids for farting in class. Deadly methane you know.

It's all those damn cattle we raise for food. And the resultant farts from eating them.

Even if he did you could hardly construe that as use of deadly force. How upside down this country has become.

Nail hit on the head. She is probably a member of The NEA.

Actually there was once a problem in Erath, Texas. They said two many cows were emitting too much "gas". True story. I have no idea what they did to alleviate the problem. Guess they gave them gas ex.

I'm not sure about collecting the gas emitted, but the dung can be used to fuel the farm. 850 cows produce enough manure which is collected and fermented to form methane gas to power the farms and 78 surrounding houses.

Things must have been a bit smelly before they did that.

This makes absolutely no sense at all. I've check a couple of websites, and albuterol is a very safe bronchodialator. I've personally used it for years. No are no major contraindications that I can find, although there are notes to notify your doctor is you are already on a heart medication.

It seems that he puffed two doses, and the white powder in the container came out of his mouth while speaking. It can happen if he speaks too soon after dosing. Big deal, I can't imagine that she could even smell it.

Me thinks, if the facts are as stated in this news story, that the teacher ought to be charged with filing a false report, and charged full price for the ambulance trip. Any teacher in America that is unfamiliar with asthma medications doesn't deserve to a classroom.

Sounds like fraud, or trying to get back at the kid. Strange that the reporter did not include more information on the teacher.

Of course she is. Public schools are union shops.

They sure are. And the kids suffer as a result.

I think the people who live in the Northeast have had about all the Global Warming they can stand!

It's not all that strange. Most reporters are liberal suck ups. Most public school "teachers" are members of The NEA. Birds of a feather flock together.
