    Here's a walking tour of the LA medical cup with this cool stoner chick I watch sometimes. These young tokers are all about the dabs aren't they?

Thanks for the shout out Subcool. Jessi here. Getting sick from a dab is a little embarrassing, but in the medical grey-area of BHO, I think it is important to get info like this out. Last week, I took a dab of some BHO that was not our own. It had a sour after-taste and was purged only by whipping to a budder without heat. This is not our method, and it seemed under-purged compared to what we usually smoke (which has never caused a problem). James didn't like the taste and thought it was harsh so he didn't smoke any after his first hit. I kept smoking it all night. My throat went from a dull ache to an unable to swallow sensation. I felt like I had something stuck in the back of my throat and when I looked in the mirror I was shocked to see what looked like a second tongue coming out from down my throat. I needed to lean forward to breathe properly and at times it felt like a flap was sealing off my airway. I went to the urgent care where they told me they were unable to handle my situation and would need to escort me to the adjacent Emergency Room for immediate treatment. I received a quick diagnosis at the Emergency Room because the doctor had seen an instance like mine a few weeks prior, although it was previously a very rare occurrence (BHO has just recently become popular in our state). I had Chemical Epiglottitis, which can be a life threatening situation. Luckily, mine was not! Chemical Epiglottitis is caused by irritants or hot vapors that pass by and damage the epiglottis (the flap the covers your wind pipes when you eat/drink). When this happens, the epiglottis swells and has the potential of closing off the wind pipe, making it impossible to breathe. I was lucky and the swelling stopped before I needed any serious medical interventions. For those less fortunate, a run in with Epiglottitis has the potential to send a patient into the ICU, emergency surgery, or a tracheotomy. Its serious stuff! It was a hard lesson for James and I and taught us to always smoke our own, or at least know what we are smoking. We are both taking some time off of BHO and are slightly disappointed that our usual health-conscious decisions were so unknowingly reckless. It sounds like a different girl also had a scary experience at the HighTimes cup. I hope she is alright as well!
James and I are dab-neutral and do not want to stir up a debate on the pros and cons of BHO, ISO, RSO or any of the other extracts. We do, however, hope that medical instances like my own serve to improve the safety of the community and do not hinder the progress of legalization.

I've never done a dab in my 29 years on this earth. When I was younger I had issues where my airways would close down in my sleep and I'd wake up gasping for air. Had to be rushed to the er once.I know what its like to sit there wondering if your ever gonna feel air in your lungs again. If it wasn't for what I've learned on here about dabs who knows what could of happened. To me.

     [*=center]Heres one link, its more based on unvented heating elements, but the corrolation is the same, and a lot of the info is applicable.

     Exert from above link: So in addition to the above mentioned normally anticipated by-products of combustion, we must add potential products of incomplete combustion, such as carbon monoxide, benzo(a)pyrene (a highly carcinogenic hydrocarbon), sulfur dioxide and something that varies from state to state and country to country, "other pollutants". Toluene is present in some natural gas and is known to cause reproductive harm.
     Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired appliances and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. California Health and Safety Code Sec. 25249.6

       [*=center]Heres a corrolation to infant/fetal development and gas cooking.
       http://blogs.washplus.org/iaqupdates...t-development/
       Exert from above link:
       Cooking with a gas stove at home during pregnancy may produce unexpected side effects on the baby’s neurological development, suggests a Spanish study Gas stoves normally use natural gas, propane or butane as fuel. Burning can produce a mixture of organic chemicals, including NO2, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and others. NO2 is the most studied indoor air pollutant and is found at up to two times higher levels in homes with gas appliances.
       
       I will keep looking for more studies that are directly related to line cooks and cancer/leukemia. the ones that i saw were very direct in their findings.
