Chilling VIDEO: Tragic Case of Boy's Alleged Death After Consuming 'Nitrogen Smoked Biscuit'; Urgent Warning for Parents

 Shared by a Twitter user, the distressing footage depicts the child's severe discomfort after ingesting the smoked biscuits, believed to contain liquid nitrogen

Digital Desk: Nitrogen-smoked biscuits have surged in popularity, especially among children, but their hidden dangers pose serious health risks. Circulating on social media, an unsettling video, reportedly from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, captures a child falling critically ill after indulging in these biscuits. Tragically, the boy allegedly succumbed to his illness post-consumption, sparking concerns among parents.

Shared by a Twitter user, the distressing footage depicts the child's severe discomfort after ingesting the smoked biscuits, believed to contain liquid nitrogen—a substance known for its hazardous effects. In a plea for action, a Tamil independent filmmaker and writer underscored the peril of even a small amount of liquid nitrogen, advocating for a ban on these perilous products and urging government intervention.

Responses to the filmmaker's post unveil allegations that the Tamil Nadu government permitted two stalls selling such items at a recent fair in Chennai, raising questions about regulatory oversight and public safety.

This incident echoes previous cases where smoked products have led to dire consequences. In one instance, a Delhi businessman suffered severe health complications after consuming a similar product in Gurugram, resulting in the removal of a portion of his stomach due to its adverse effects.

Medical experts caution against ingesting such products before the dissipation of nitrogen vapours, citing the potential for life-threatening consequences. Breathlessness, abdominal pain, and other alarming symptoms underscore the urgent need for awareness and stricter regulations surrounding these hazardous delicacies.
