An issue has been shared with parents in Ireland as chroming becomes increasingly popular amongst young people.
Chroming is a type of substance abuse that involves the inhalation of solvents like deodorant to get high.
Medical experts are increasingly concerned about the trend as it has grown in popularity with teens.
The problem with chroming is how easy it is for youths to access things like deodorant or other household items.
Parents have been warned that children are using things like shoe polish, dry shampoo, and even air fresheners.
They have been advised to be aware of the side effects of chroming.
Parents should look out for drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, or giddiness.
They should also note that it can cause vomiting, ringing in the ears, loss of inhibition, and clumsiness.
People may also feel more relaxed or even more on edge.
