Laughing gas epidemic spreads to Majorca as urgent warning issued over ‘rampant' sale of party drug that scars Brits
AN epidemic of laughing gas abuse is spiralling out of control in Majorca, furious locals have warned. Dealers are flooding the island's party hotspots and leaving Brits at risk of seizures, permanent scars and even death. 7 7 7 7 The trade association Acotur says the sale of balloons filled with nitrous oxide is now 'rampant' in Magaluf's infamous Punta Ballena strip and Playa de Palma in the capital. Its president, Jose Tirado, is demanding an urgent crackdown, warning: 'It's totally out of control.' Street dealers are openly targeting tourists with balloons for a fiver a hit – sparking fears the island is going the same way as Ibiza. There, young Brits have been filmed foaming at the mouth, collapsing with seizures, and even scarred for life by the dangerous drug. Mr Tirado said: 'It is inadmissible. We merchants pay our taxes and we see how the mafias take away our customers.' He blasted officials for failing to protect businesses, warning trade has plunged 20 per cent this summer compared to last year. 'We are tired of calling the police and they don't come. In fact, they would have to go with trucks to be able to take the attempted quantities of counterfeits that they sell,' Mr Tirado explained. Police insist they are cracking down, revealing more than 20 operations have been carried out between June and July, with 50 reports filed, numerous items seized, and 23 fines slapped on illegal vendors ranging from €450 to €750. Inside Ibiza 'death hotel' on lockdown after 2 Brits die in a month… as rooftop guards watch tourists & parties banned Lucmajor council added that more than 200 fake items have been confiscated in Playa de Palma raids. But Mr Tirado says the problem has exploded since officials banned laughing gas sales in clubs and bars, pushing the trade onto the streets where gangs operate with 'total impunity'. 'We can't take it anymore,' he fumed. Seizures, scars & street chaos The crisis mirrors Ibiza's notorious San Antonio strip, where determined dealers armed with industrial-sized canisters target young Brits as 'easy prey'. Bartender Katie Mae, 21, who works at Irish pub Shenanigans, said laughing gas is 'the worst of them all.' She told The Sun: 'I'll lecture anyone I see taking it – I've seen the worst things from laughing gas. 'I've seen young lads having seizures on the street and foaming at the mouths, but their friends are high so do nothing to help. 'One girl I saw inhaled gas straight from the canister, and it froze one side of her face. It was all cut up and she would have been scarred for life.' She added: 'The consequences aren't talked about anywhere near enough. People don't take it seriously as a drug – but it's one of the worst.' 7 Another Brit working the strip admitted she once sold laughing gas until a customer 'nearly died'. She recalled: 'A young lad fell backwards and smashed his head on the road in the midst of a balloon high. As soon as that happened I stopped. It really freaked me out.' The West End of San Antonio is now littered with colourful balloon scraps, as locals despair over the chaos. Shopworker Angelica Giraldo, 40, said: 'It is everywhere now. And it causes lots of accidents. People take it while driving, but it makes them go crazy and they crash. This happens a lot.' Official crackdowns Despite laughing gas being illegal in Spain, street sellers continue to brazenly peddle it, some even using apps to warn each other when police are near. San Antonio Town Council says it is hiring ten new officers and introducing private security to tackle the scourge. 'The City Council is fully aware that these are only the first steps in a broader transformation process and that there is still a long way to go,' it said. But for locals in Majorca, patience is running thin. Mr Tirado warned: 'This tourist season is not being as good as the previous ones, so the economic problems of the merchants have worsened even more. 'In Majorca we have diesel tourists: they walk a lot and spend little.' 7

A host of security personnel also surrounded the viral social media star as violent tempers were eventually quashed and the confrontation that had threatened to spill over finally calmed down.

Brit, 22, rushed to hospital after ‘falling off boat in Magaluf & getting caught in propeller after drinking with pals'
A BRIT holidaymaker has been rushed to hospital 'seriously injured' after falling off a boat in Magaluf and getting caught in the propeller. The 22-year-old is said to have been drinking with pals on the rented boat before tumbling and cutting himself and coming close to drowning according to one local report. 2 Some of the cuts he suffered have been described as deep gashes. He was admitted to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma this evening. His exact condition is not known but his condition when he left the scene was described as "serious." The drama happened just after 5pm local time today opposite upmarket Nikki Beach in Magaluf. The tourist and his pals, who were also described in local reports as "inebriated", had rented the boat hours earlier and spent most of the day at sea. Lifeguards on the beach were the first to assist the injured man before Civil Guard officers, Civil Protection workers and paramedics reached the scene. He was stabilised before being evacuated to hospital in one of the two ambulances sent to the scene. Dozens of worried sunbathers watched on as he was taken away in an ambulance as he was taken away. No-one could be reached at Son Espases this afternoon for comment. There has not yet been an official comment from the Civil Guard in Majorca, which has launched an investigation into the incident. Last weekend mum-of-four Debra Wright died after the jet ski she was riding pillion on was hit by a boat being piloted by a friend off Manilva west of Estepona on the Costa del Sol. Her Greater Manchester-based husband Chris, 52, described her as an 'amazing woman' in a tribute. He also told how he cradled his dying wife in his arms. The unnamed friend was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and an alcohol-related offence after failing a breath test. He was released without charge pending an ongoing criminal probe after appearing in court in Estepona last Sunday a day after the tragedy. 2
