It appears at least one person has died in the surge of vaping-related illnesses, mostly in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

An Illinois man who came down with a sudden respiratory illness after vaping died. All told, at least 193 lung illnesses have been identified as being related to vaping. There are dozens more cases under investigation that might be tied to this outbreak.<\/p>\n

It appears that there was a contaminated or purposely poisoned batch of vaping fluid. And it appears it was being sold on the streets. Reportedly, it’s both nicotine and marijuana involved, though all the stories I’ve read seem to be hinting that this is mostly happening with THC vaping fluid.<\/p>\n

From an NBC News story:<\/a><\/p>\n

In Wisconsin, a 26-year-old man started to feel ill and was hospitalized after taking a couple of hits from a new vape cartridge. Dylan Nelson of Burlington, Wisconsin, eventually had to be put into a medically induced coma after his lungs started filling with liquid.<\/p>\n

He has since been released and is recovering.<\/p>\n

His brother, Patrick DeGrave, said that Nelson purchased the cartridge off the street and not from a reputable shop.<\/p>\n

“You don’t know if you’re buying something from a middleman that picked it up from a dispensary or if you’re buying it from somebody who has tampered with it and made their own mixture,” he said. “You literally don’t know what you’re inhaling into your body.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
