Liquid nitrogen

Recently there was a report that a Delhi man drank liquid nitrogen thinking that it will make him to feel high. But unfortunately he was left with a hole in his stomach.

I know nitrogen as a gas. We inhale it every day as the air surrounding us consists nitrogen gas in large part. But liquid nitrogen is different. People use it to instantly freeze the food and drinks.


If a person's body has a large amount of lactic acid , then taking or inhaling the liquid nitrogen results in oxygen deprivation.


It results in perforations inside the stomach. Usually small perforations can be sewed up. But in the above mentioned case, perforations are too large that it had created a hole in the stomach.
