Ocsaíd Nítriúil

Nitrous oxide can cause severe and potentially irreversible vitamin B12 depletion with frequent or chronic use, leading to serious neurological damage including numbness, tingling, and motor control loss. Always supplement with vitamin B12 when using this substance. Never inhale directly from cartridges or tanks due to extreme cold temperature (-40C) which can cause frostbite to lips, throat, and lungs, and high pressure which can rupture lung tissue. Always release gas into a balloon first to warm and depressurize. Ensure adequate oxygen intake between inhalations to prevent hypoxia and brain damage.
