Houston-area high school student rushed to the hospital with 'medical emergency' after vaping.
A public school district serving Tomball, Texas, a small city about 35 miles from downtown Houston, told ABC News in a statement late Monday that a Tomball High School student"experienced a medical emergency during an after school activity involving a vape pen."
"We have no new details on the student's health at this time," the school district told ABC News in its statement Monday night."Educational resources have been put in place and the district will continue its efforts to educate students and parents on the negative effects of vaping.” Tomball Independent School District superintendent Martha Salazar-Zamora said they have partnered with University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"to carry out a preventative curriculum through their ASPIRE program," an online educational tool that helps middle and high school students learn about being tobacco-free by explaining the dangers of tobacco and nicotine use.
“This is a very serious outbreak and I urge all parents to check with their children to make sure they are not using e-cigarette products. Adults should also stop using the products,” Dr. David Persse, Houston's local health authority and EMS medical director, said in a statement Tuesday. “These illnesses are life-threatening, even for healthy young people who may not regularly use these products.
On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that a fifth person has died from a vaping-related lung disease. The health protection agency said it is aware of over 450 possible cases of vaping-related illnesses in 33 states and one U.S. territory. Those five deaths have occurred in California, Illinois, Indiana , Minnesota and Oregon.
