印尼青少年竟用衛生巾煮水喝來替代酒精和毒品!

Apparently, there's now a new way for teens in Indonesia to get high.

最近，印尼青少年找到了一種能讓自己興奮起來的新方法。

And no, it's not drugs or alcohol but something you would never expect. Their new "drug" of choice is actually sanitary pads! Yes, the ones women use during their menstruation!

不是酒精也不是毒品，而是你可能根本想不到的東西。他們“藥物”的新選擇竟然是衛生巾！沒錯，就是女人在月經期間用的衛生巾!

If you were curious as to how one gets high on pads, well, they drink the water they get from boiling the pads.

可能你會好奇衛生巾怎麼可能讓人感到興奮，但實際上他們是把衛生巾放在水裏煮沸，然後喝掉這些水。

According to Sitty Hikmawatty, a Member of the Indonesian Child Protection Commision (KPAI), says that this is a new way for those who want to get high but can't afford alcohol or drugs. It's how they discovered this cheaper alternative.

印尼兒童保護委員會成員斯迪·西瑪瓦蒂表示，對於那些想要獲得快感卻買不起酒和毒品的人來說，這是一種新的讓自己興奮的方法。這些人發現這種方式更加便宜。

Sitty said that these kids are getting more creative, especially with the existence of the Internet that allows them to discover such things. They even try and add several other variants inside this new "drug" to make it more effective.

斯迪稱，現在這些孩子太有創造力了，特別是有了互聯網以後，他們可以在網上找到這些東西。他們甚至嘗試在這種新型“藥物”中添加其他配方，使其更有效。

Due to those trial and error, the risk of danger increases as multiple different substances are added, regardless whether the additives are harmful or not.

無論添加物質是否有害，這些試驗和錯誤操作都會因添加多種物質而導致危險的增加。

A chemical researcher in Bandung Institute of Technology, Yessi Permana stated that a sweat-absorbent polymer, better known as superabsorbent polymers (SAP) contained in sanitary pads will affect the eyes, especially if it is boiled and consumed.

萬隆理工學院的化學研究員耶西·博馬納表示，衛生巾中所含的高吸水性聚合物（SAP）會對眼睛造成影響，尤其是在被煮沸並食用的情況下。

Sitty continued by saying the number of teenagers getting high on sanitary pads have been increasing since 2017. The exact amount was, however, not mentioned.

斯迪表示，自2017年以來，通過衛生巾而讓自己興奮的青少年人數呈上升趨勢。但是確切數字並未提及。
