Nangs: Teenager Molly Day is addicted to nitrous oxide

A teen who is bedridden and unable to go to the bathroom on her own after developing a crippling addiction to nangs has issued a devastating warning.

Molly Day, 19, first used nangs during her year-end festivities, but what started as a little laughter slowly turned into a deadly addiction.

The teen, from Perth, would buy jerry cans with Buy It Now, Pay Later apps at smoke shops and convenience stores, putting him in thousands of dollars in debt.

She inhaled no fewer than two 1.3-litre nitrous oxide canisters every day.

Molly’s addiction got so bad that she is now bedridden in the hospital with nitrous oxide poisoning.

She has little feeling below the waist. She cannot walk, eat or go to the toilet unassisted.

Now the teen is begging others not to make the same mistake.

‘Please listen to me. Just don’t do them,” she said A current situation.

“Two weeks ago I was a very healthy, walking girl and now I can’t do anything for myself. I can’t walk, I can’t control anything. It’s so deadly,’ she said.

Molly’s mother, nurse Nancy Day, says her daughter “cries into my arms every night” about her condition.

She has urged other teens to heed her daughter’s warning.

It wasn’t until Molly’s twin sister, Piper, expressed concern about her sibling’s addiction that Mrs. Day took notice.

Mrs Day recalled going into Molly’s bedroom at one point and finding 30 jerry cans there, including ‘big jerry cans of three liters of laughing gas’.

‘I had no idea. I am a health professional. I should have known. I should have seen the signs,’ she said.

Molly’s addiction to nangs deprived her brain of oxygen.
