US health officials have seen a surge in the number of people using bug spray to get high. Exposure to high concentrations of the active ingredients in bug spray creates what's been described as a zombie-like state with unpredictable behavior including convulsions, difficulty breathing and rage. In December a Tennessee man admitted to smoking 'wasp' - a mix of methamphetamine and bug spray - before breaking into a home and trying to cut himself at a family's dinner table. Rusyniak said that many people using drugs laced with bug spray likely know the dangers associated with it but use them anyway because they're addicted. O'Donnell also warned that little is known about the long-term consequences of getting high off bug spray.
