This new ORN brief covers โwasping,โ which refers to the use of pyrethroid-based insecticides (e.g., wasp spray) to achieve a short-lived stimulant effect. To make โwasp dope,โ insecticide is sprayed onto a metal screen then electrified with a battery to form a crystalline residue. The crystalline substance is collected from the metal screen and snorted, smoked or injected.
The brief, developed by the American College of Medical Toxicology, concludes that โwaspingโ is being used as an alternative drug for methamphetamine and as an adulterant in illicit drugs. It shares the importance of recognizing a pattern of use and that asking about โwasp dopeโ during a drug use history is important for identifying affected patients and providing appropriate counseling and treatment.
