First aid and emergency medicine-smelling salts

[Guest guest]

Have you tried online? I just did a google and there were several sites. I would

copy an url here, but I don't want to seem to be endorsing them.

It doesn't look complicated to order.

Speaking of emergency medicine, anyone know why it is

so hard to purchase smelling salts? None of the

medical or even hospital supply stores here will sell

them, or tell me where I can get them. I'd like to

have some on hand for my patients, should I (G!D

forbid) need them. Anyone have a source?

Thanks, Anne.

 

I will do that. Everyone is acting around here (pharmacies included) like

people are abusing them to get high. Anyone know about this?

Probably a result of the poppers craze.

 

 

 

Thanks, Anne.

Smelling salts is an old fashioned term for ammonia inhalants. I assume you

want them in case a patient starts to faint. Check this link;

Thanks, Ann. Yes, for my patients and also for my partner's grandmother, who

faints often.

Hi Andrea et al,

 

I recall from my studies of immunology that in the USA in 1981 there was an

early hypothesis that AIDS resulted from behavior specific to homosexual males

because then in the 1980’s gays sometimes inhaled amyl and buty nitrate as

“poppers” to enhance sexual performance. I am of the impression that these

were an earlier form of smelling salts. Nowadays, ammonium carbonate sometimes

known as, ‘the aromatic spirits of ammonia’ are used as, ‘smelling salts’. The

revival affect undoubtedly is to the ammonia fumes irritating the membranes of

the nose & lungs, which triggers an unconscious reflex causing the muscles that

control breathing to work faster which increases oxygen volume in the blood. I

suspect that although the chemical formulation has changed that the homosexual

community (and perhaps the general public) to some extent may have been over

utilizing smelling salts for non-medicinal purposes.

 

Ammonium nitrate is one of the components that Timmothy McVeigh used in the

September 1994 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on the

second anniversary of the federal government’s assault on the Branch Davidians

near Waco. Smelling salts (ammonium carbonate) could also be used to make an

explosive device hence, I can understand internet merchants exercising caution

on any sales.

 

Sincerly,

Steve

Wow, Steve! This is most enlightening, and unfortunate! Thank you!
