Vaping is now linked to 400 cases of severe lung damage nationwide. But those illnesses take many different forms.
Some patients’ illnesses resemble pneumonia, while other patients have had particles in their lungs and still others have had dead lung tissue.
American Lung Association chief medical officer Albert Rizzo says that indicates there’s probably not a single root cause. Indiana reported its first vaping-related death last week.
Rizzo says patients with vape sickness can’t be keeping secrets — if you go to the doctor, bring the e-liquid and equipment you’ve been using so doctors can try to figure it out.
