oldószerszívás

Oldószerszívás, also known as solvent sniffing or inhalant abuse, refers to the intentional inhalation of volatile substances to produce psychoactive effects. These substances are commonly found in household products such as glues, paints, aerosols, cleaning agents, and even food products like whipped cream dispensers. The vapors from these products are inhaled, typically through a soaked rag or a bag, leading to a rapid but short-lived high.

The effects of oldószerszívás can vary depending on the substance inhaled and the individual. Common effects include euphoria, dizziness, slurred speech, hallucinations, and loss of coordination. However, the practice is extremely dangerous and can have severe health consequences. Immediate risks include sudden sniffing death syndrome, which can occur even after the first use, due to cardiac arrest. Other acute dangers include asphyxiation, choking on vomit, and accidents due to impaired judgment and coordination.

Long-term effects can be devastating and include permanent damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, and lungs. Neurological damage can manifest as cognitive impairment, memory loss, and motor skill deficits. Psychological effects can include depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Due to the accessibility and low cost of many inhalant products, oldószerszívás is a particular concern among adolescents and young adults. Education and awareness campaigns are crucial in preventing this dangerous form of substance abuse.
