Can spray paint hurt you if you breathe it in?

Question

Of course im not going to breathe it in on purpose!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes it can... Not sure if you mean dirrect inhale, or inhale of gasses... but either way... You don't want to inhale that stuff in any mass quantities... It makes you high if you don't have proper ventelation (and in a very bad way...)

Answer 2

Inhaling Spray Paint

Answer 3

Some of the chemicals in paints cause your small blood vessels to constrict, like some drugs do (nicotine) and thats why you have a headache, there isn't enough blood to your head. Some people get high on this. Me, I feel sick after spray painting. Get lots of fresh air and breathe deep to make it go. The chemicals hang around for a few seconds, long enough for you to breathe them in. Use a paper mask next time.

Answer 4

Essentially the chemicals in spray paints prevent your blood from absorbing oxygen to your brain, causing the same effect as drowning. The problem is that once dead, brain cells don't re-grow... though there is some medical research showing that SOME nerves may be able to do so over a LONG period of time.

Brain dead is brain dead. Kill enough cells and you risk perminant damage - end up in a wheelchair or coffin.

Answer 5

yes too much exposure to spray paint can cause dizziness headache or even worse nevous system damage so use a mask when applying anything like spray paint or the spray you use for the shoes to keep out dirt and water

Answer 6

The paint will coat your lungs and harden and the fumes act on your central nervous system. It can depress the nervous system so severely that it can cause your heart and lungs to stop functioning. For those who are lucky to be reanimated (brought back to life), you can come out of the the episode with brain damage. Your motor, learning and speaking skills can be grossly affected. In other words, you can become a vegetable.

I strongly suggest to anyone not to do this intentionally. It's not worth it. But, if you work with paint in the workplace, wear a mask with filters that are specifically designed to filter out the chemical fumes.

Answer 7

Yes, it can have permanent damage to your brain. I wouldn't get involve in this kind of thing.
