Which has historically killed more people, wet paint or dry paint?

Answer 1

Hmm, well... a lot of artists have died from inhaling the fumes of wet oil paints over the years. That's why a lot of artists who use oils develop liver cancer and other kinds of cancers over the years, because oil paint is very toxic and requires a room with adequate ventilation. Not to mention the turpentine.

But dry paint--especially paint on walls of old buildings--has done some damage too. Many children and animals have consumed paint chips that have flaked off of those walls, and that paint then contained lead, so many children died of lead poisoning.

So, in my opinion, both wet and dry have done their share of damages.

Answer 2

I'd say dry paint because most bombs' and bullets' paint has had a chance to dry.

But then again, the paint aisle at Nobody-is-at-Home Depot is mighty precarious with it's 50' high paint racks.

Answer 3

The plaster from your *** kills more people everyday than both wet and dry paint ever have.

Answer 4

dry. a lot of old paint has lead in it, making more people sick for years to come.

Answer 5

Partially dried, tacky paint.

Answer 6

Wet paint, especially if its in the pot when it falls on you :) lol;
