Help! I breathed in some of the touch-up paint

It says I am going to have brain damage and nerve problems if I breathe some in and I accidentally did today. Should I be worried?

no worries...the funny feeling in your head is you having gotten high off the fumes causing some brain cells to die . all will return back to normal when the funny feeling in your head is gone

Wink Fumes.....

Short term exposures like that don't usually have lasting effects.

I've been working with Toluene and Benzene for twenty some years. (we make fifty tons an hour!)
Occasionally we get a gutful taking samples or preparing equipment for maintenance. Just a headache or dizziness.

Oh....and seeing the Toluene Fairy, and Benzeena, Queen of all the gypsy pygmys!
but that's only on night shift !!

Yes, it is harmful.

The bad news is that you're already dead.

The good news is that there is internet access in the afterlife.

The really bad news is that hell only has dial-up.

If you're worrying about this, you had problems way before you inhaled the fumes...

Have a cigarette and call me in the morning

I can understand how you would be concerned. When it comes to critical things that could affect your life, I would worry too. Especially if it could be permanent damage.

I guess how much you inhaled is all that really matters. Hopefully it wasn't a lot.

I would at least wait it out for a day, if you still feel funny next day, I would definitely want to see a doctor.

Hope all goes well!

Here is what my touchup paint bottle said.

See the bold. Unless you were trying to get high off of it like an emo, I would think you are ok!

I think you'll die.

There's no escape... resistance is futile.

When I read the subject, I thought he had literally taken some liquid paint up the nose.
Hell, I taste the stuff from time to time to make sure it is fresh.

Yeah, you are on the cancer super-highway. Especially benzene.

BTW, can you send me some xylene on your way out one morning? I can't find it for less than $11 a gallon these days...
