‘Dusting’ Claims Another Life: Arizona Teen Dies After Inhaling Keyboard Cleaner

A devastating incident in Arizona has resulted in the death of 19-year-old Renna O’Rourke, who participated in the dangerous social media trend known as ‘dusting.’ This trend involves inhaling household cleaning products to get high, which can cause serious health complications, including heart failure. Renna’s father stated that her boyfriend had acquired an aerosol keyboard cleaner, which she then inhaled, leading to cardiac arrest. Despite receiving intensive care, she was declared brain dead. Her family is now focused on raising awareness about the hazards of ‘dusting,’ urging parents to be vigilant about their children’s activities. They have also launched a GoFundMe page to assist with medical expenses. The family’s efforts aim to prevent similar tragedies, with the mother emphasizing the easy accessibility of the cleaner.
