Jungle Juice (amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite)

Drexel Toxicology Image Library - Jungle Juice (amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite)
Jungle Juice: Alkyl nitrites (amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite) are inhalants used recreationally for its euphoric properties. The bottle contains an ampule that is "popped" off, releasing gas which is then inhaled intranasally, hence the street name "poppers." Inhalation causes cerebral vasodilation (the "rush"), peripheral vasodilation, nausea, headache and syncope. Use of alkyl nitrites can also lead to methemoglobinemia.
