Canadian teen develops a dangerous vaping illness that resembles the kind of lung damage workers at a microwave popcorn factory developed from breathing in a buttery flavoring
A Canadian teen developed a dangerous vaping illness that doesn't look like lung illnesses seen in patients across the U.S. Instead, it resembles the kind of lung damage workers at a microwave popcorn factory developed years ago from breathing in a buttery flavoring.
The boy's family said he had been inhaling deeply when vaping, and had regularly added THC, the main marijuana ingredient that gives users a high, to his devices."Our patient and his family want the public to be aware that what happened to him could happen to anyone," said Dr. Karen Bosma, lead author of the report and a critical care physician at the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, Canada. She is also an associate scientist at Lawson Health Research Institute.
Despite similarities in symptoms, the young man's lung illness appears to be slightly different from the more than 2,000 cases in the U.S.
