Can Sniffing Alcohol Cause Nasal Burning With Vision Blurring And Blindness?
Yes hello I really like the smell of alchohol and a few friends of mine got me into it, and for about a week on and off i've been sniffing a few minutes each day of alcohol and yesterday i huffed it quite a LOT of it to where my nose was burning, but it was only for a few minutes and im scared i messed myself up now. now the aftermath is teerible, my vision is alittle weird, and i dont feel like im all there right now. im very scared, im definately never ever doing that again as im not addicted to it yet. will i go blind?

Be calm, you will not go blind with this present incident. However, direct your mind towards some positive goals and try to achieve it, instead of involving yourself in maladaptive deeds and having the irrational thoughts.
