To Wowpow: herpes is a viral disease. It cannot be caused by an allergy to using stale (or fresh) poppers. Change your doctor mate. Some studies claim that poppers cause a temporary weakening of the immune system and link their usage to HIV infections. But if u're having unprotected sex with an HIV or herpes carrier, you're going to get infected with or without poppers.

Yes, poppers and viagra are a dangerous mix, but for people with serious heart problems only. I've seen several guys taking E, V and poppers at the same time and nothing happened to them. I've repeated the experiment on myself and am still alive. Yes, you might die if u try both, but u need to have heart problems to start with.

If the bottles are not tightly screwed, then the liquid will evaporate (in the same manner as vodka). I keep some bottles on my desk for months and the stuff is still inside.

It seems to me guys that you don't have much experience with poppers, but u're keen to express your views on the subject nonetheless. I'm not suggesting that poppers are great and everyone should use them. It's a decison everyone should make for himself. But the dangers of using poppers (or travelling in their company) are largely exaggerated by people who love to be scared in general (the same sort who would choose not to travel to Southeast Asia because one case of avian flu was reported).

I don't think there's anything scary in the fact that guys in the sauna sniff poppers, but cannot get kick out of it 'cause poppers are no longer fresh. I think it's rather sad that they cannot buy new supply freely in Bkk. The homophobic gov would probably be happy to see that its polices against party drugs get so much support among guys who supposedly 'cruise for sex'.
