As the number of vaping-related illnesses and deaths continues to grow across the country, several of the doctors who first sounded the alarm are tracing the outbreak back to its beginning.
A group of physicians at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin quickly believed they had a trend on their hands when treating four teenagers suffering from illness.
Not knowing what could be behind their symptoms, the doctors ran tests and conducted a"social history" that asked the teens about their lives and habits to find the cause. Using that history, they were able to conclude that vaping was the likely root cause of their illnesses. The Centers for Disease Control report that 62% of patients are between 18 and 34 years old -- and 38% are younger than 21.
