Help Is dry ice bad?

[daydrey]

As you know, a high-concentration CO2

environment is understood to induce drowsiness.

There are quite a few cases in our country where people have used dry ice for CTB.

It's also utilized on pig farms. Why is this option not widely considered or recommended?

This is an anecdote, but when I was 12 I made dry ice at home with a fire extinguisher (for non-suicide reasons). The process involved using a pillowcase. I accidently inhaled some and it made me ill... It was VERY unpleasant. It's not like CO poisoning where you just fell asleep-I could feel my airway just burn up. I ended up with bronchitis shortly after lol... It is probably more comfortable and efficient to just inhale an inert gas with a mask and fall asleep then going throuhg the trouble of acquiring dry ice and figuring out how to inhale without it becoming uncomfortable
