Using someone else's inhaler

[Accy cyclist]

I just think you are funny sometimes. You don't often take other peoples prescription medicines do you?

No apart from the time i took one of Mrs Accy's "womens" tablets by mistake.

Apart from the fact he's had his lips around it, I don't see how anything else could happen, side effects notwithstanding. They can be prescribed to get people over nasty chest infections etc..

You almost certainly won't die as a result of a few puffs, but Salbutamol does react adversely with other meds that you might be taking.

I've got some spare rat poison (warfarin) if you fancy giving that a go ...?

Only ant acid and codeine.

Ventolin is the best Salbutamol inhaler made IMO, theirs also other makes some i would consider vile tasting versions of it.

You don't kill rats do you Colin?!

 

[ColinJ]

No - I use it on myself!

Actually, I don't think it is used to kill rats any more because they developed resistance to it. Well, the ones vulnerable to it didn't, but natural selection rapidly eliminated them when warfarin got used a lot, and the ones left were not too bothered by it. Pest controllers use alternatives now ...

Like capturing them gently, then taking them somewhere nice and setting them free i hope?

No, killing the disease carrying destructive pests.

You take formic acid!!!!

 

[Accy cyclist]

You take formic acid!!!!

No course not. Anti stomach acid capsules. Lampra something? I can't be bothered to go and find out.

I was diagnosed with asthma when I had a nagging cough that remained after all the other cold symptoms had faded by trying ventolin in a doctors surgery. Because that relieved my symptoms, I was told I had asthma.**

Try it. If it helps then maybe a visit to the GP is warranted. It could easily be asthma from how you describe it. For me the triggers are chest colds, allergens (particularly dust), exercise and cold dry air. My symptoms are so mild these days I need an inhaler less than once a year

**It was a revelation. The familiar symptoms of my childhood "chronic bronchitis" reoccured as an adult - tight chest, wheezing, an itch deep behind my breast bone - and were all relieved ventolin. It is now understood that children diagnosed with chronic bronchitis in fact were asthmatics.
