    Definitely but I remember when I was a kid my parents were always freaking out and telling me not to do bizzare shit. This was one of them.

    "Omg don't suck compressed air or deodorant cans it can kill you!"

    "Why would anyone want to do that?"

    "Kids think it makes them feel high but it can kill you!!!"

    "Huh".

    Two hours later with the neighborhood kids.

    "Yeah so apparently we can get high huffing compressed air who wants to go first?"

    I think the takeaway might be that heart failure in a 14 year old girl absolutely can't be that other thing, it must be caused by... (Checks list) inhaling deodorant.

    Nah see the accelerant in aerosols is actually quite bad for you and can cause you to asphyxiate. It's also highly flammable, used to take a match up to axe cans as kids and get a nice flame thrower going. Would go a good meter or so. Quite cool. Stupid and dangerous through.

    I get that, and I've known people who abused inhalants, it's dangerous and damaging, but they're not saying she was huffing it, and it does seem like trying to attribute heart failure in young people to everything but the covid shot.

    Many of the things "all the kids are doing" I only ever heard of from my parents because they saw it on Dateline (or something similar). Granted, I didn't have a lot of friends in school growing up. Which might be a good thing if this is the stuff kids were doing.
