Doctors have warned teenagers about the dangers of sniffing mothballs after two teenagers fell ill through the habit.

An 18-year-old French girl had to be hospitalised when she developed scaly skin on her legs and hands, unsteadiness and mental sluggishness.

Mothballs, what drives young people to try these things.

Well naphthalene DOES smell kinda nice and add a little paradichlorobenzene to the mix and.....

I'm kidding. I agree, it's a stupid thing to do.

I hate it !!!! i cant even touch it

mmm give that a go tonight! Thanks for the idea!

BTW - how do you know which are the males?

Moths are pretty small. Their balls must be tiny. I would think you would need millions of them to get a decent buzz.

Has anyone really ever smelled mothballs?

If so, how did you get the tiny legs apart? :^D

i have no idea how they get their legs apart

Princess - Interesting answer, shame about the question

what drives them to it? they are out of gasoline or glue.
