What is it about condoms that is “intoxicating”?
A chemical professor claims that submerging condoms in hot water for an extended period of time dissolves big organic molecules and produces alcohol compounds. The young people are kept drunk by the chemical that is produced when condoms are soaked.
The intoxicating substance in condoms is an aromatic chemical. In addition, this substance can be found in dendrites, another substance that is frequently used to elicit intoxication. Dendrite use is widespread and primarily among young people, and it is thought to be a subpar way to get high.
Additional intoxicants
When it comes to intoxication, people make strange decisions. Drinking cough syrup, sniffing glue and other industrial adhesives, breathing paint and nail polish, and inhaling whiteners are a few unusual ones.
Even a lot of people have been observed to become inebriated after using hand sanitizer and aftershave.
The health risks
These substances cause major health problems in young people who consistently use them, including chest pain and chronic headaches.
The worst thing is that these people are so dependent on these intoxicants that they eventually start utilising them as a treatment for their illnesses. Their reliance on the addictions grows as a result.
Gasoline, glue, spray paint, solvents, cleaning agents, and several other aerosols are often used inhalants. Huffing, bagging, and sniffing or snorting are all part of the usage behaviour. The euphoria experienced when using inhalants is heightened by the hypercapnia and hypoxia brought on by rebreathing from a closed bag. According to a 2011 study by researchers at the Department of Psychiatry, Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, India, and Department of Psychiatry, Mental Health Institute, SCB Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha, India, adolescents who meet the criteria for dependence or abuse report coexisting delinquent behaviours, multiple drug abuse and dependence, and use mental health services for other emotional problems.
