Thread: 1/? As of October 8, 2019, 1299 lung injury cases associated with e-cigarette use or vaping, products have been reported to CDC from 49 states, the District of Columbia, and 1 U.S. territory. Vaping illness: Cases surge to 1,299; deaths rise to 26https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/10/10/vaping-illness-cases-surge-1-299-deaths-rise-26/3929535002/ …
2/? Twenty-six deaths have been confirmed in 21 states. All patients have reported a history of using e-cigarette, or vaping, products. Most patients (71%) BUT NOT ALL report a history of using THC-containing products. Several report using nicotine only products.
3/? Anyone who uses e-cigarette or vaping products should not buy these products from informal sources (e.g. friends, family members) or “off the street,” and should not modify or add any substances to these products that are not intended by the manufacturer.
4/ Youth and young adults should not use e-cigarette, or vaping, products. Women who are pregnant should not use e-cigarette, or vaping, products. Adults who do not currently use tobacco products should not start using e-cigarette, or vaping, products.
minus one from the nicotine only column... I have personal knowledge that that person did not report using THC because it is illegal and there is a college scholarship on the line
I know of a nurse that is in the same situation can't admit to using cannabis
At this point now I think you’re just trolling all the people who know the truth. Kinda your way of getting back at them for hurting your feelings with words.
And the CDC didn't do drug tests on the other 29%. How convenient is that?
All patients have SELF REPORTED. DRUG TEST THEM @JeromeAdamsMD this would be a simple way to tie ALL patients together. Test them for nicotine, thc and synthetic thc products. The TRUTH is you don't want to make the connection.
Yep, those who haven’t reported are afraid to get in trouble
Is it reasonable to think that they didn't report it due to the fear of getting in trouble? Why were they not tested for what is causing this illness? It is an epidemic, correct? I would think we would be taking all steps possible to get to the bottom of it, being an epidemic.
I'd say it's more of an 'outbreak' than an 'epidemic' which would be an infectious disease spreading rapidly to many people
