Doctors in Kansas are sounding the alarm over a vaping-related trend where young children get a hold of their parents devices and consume whole cartridges full of liquid nicotine, a report said.

“We’ve had kids eat the cartridges, drink the solutions and get sick,” Dr. Stephen Thornton, medical director for the University of Kansas Health System Poison Control Center, told KMBC.

The poison center fielded nine in the past few weeks calls about youngsters getting a hold of e-cigarettes or vaping pods, the report said.

”Parents are calling saying, ‘Hey, I found my kid holding the vaping product,’ or ‘I found the kid with the e-cigarette pod in their mouth,’” Dr. Elizabeth Silver, clinical toxicologist with the University of Kansas Health System Poison Control Center, told the network.

“So we’re actually having a bit of an uptick in that. We’ve had kids ingest [cartridges] and they get pretty bad toxicity from the nicotine because it’s very, very concentrated in those little pods.”

The ailment is the latest safety concern associated with vaping.

At least 16 Americans with a history of smoking e-cigarettes have died from lung-injuries in a nation-wide epidemic that sparked an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Over 800 non-fatal lung illnesses have been linked to vaping.
