niman Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Severe Respiratory Illness Associated With Vaping – Idaho update Last updated: September 20, 2019 Cases among Idaho residents: 6 This page will be updated each Friday by 2:00pm MT The Idaho Division of Public Health (DPH) is currently working together with local public health districts statewide to investigate reports and identify cases of severe pulmonary illnesses associated with e-cigarette use, also known as vaping, juuling, or dabbing. Idaho DPH is also coordinating with federal and state partners in the investigation of this nationwide outbreak. Neighboring states including Utah and Oregon have reported multiple cases, including one fatality. Nationwide, patients have experienced respiratory symptoms including cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Other signs and symptoms included fever, fatigue, weight loss, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Many patients reported symptoms worsening over time. Many patients were otherwise healthy young adults. Products used by patients may contain THC, CBD, nicotine, flavors, and other chemicals. No single substance or product has been consistently associated with the illnesses. Whom to call If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider. If it is a medical emergency call 9-1-1. Healthcare providers treating patients with unexplained serious respiratory illness in patients who mention e-cigarette use, vaping, or dabbing should notify DPH Epidemiologists at 208-334-5939 (Fax: 208-332-7307).
