However, this was not without consequences, because the girls lost consciousness in the locked toilet cubicle. When the older woman came to, the library was already closed, whereupon she dropped the emergency call with her mobile phone at 18:40. Fire and police finally found the girls lying in a distraught condition in the toilet, both were reportedly brought to primary care in a clinic.

Dangerous solvents quickly lead to dependence
Experts have been warning for a long time about the risks of solvents contained in the deodorant doses. Because these quickly lead to addiction and can be life-threatening when it comes to unconsciousness and respiratory paralysis by inhaling. There is also the risk of asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen. Especially with young teenagers, however, Deo-Spray is a dangerous entry-level drug because it is available everywhere, legally and costs little. Only in March of this year, a 13-year-old girl from Schleswig-Holstein had died after sniffing deodorant spray. (No)
