I heard ages ago when you breathe in helium to do the trick with a balloon is bad for you. Is this true?

I once took a few deep breaths in of helium and I sort of passed out and sleep walked at the same time and I ended up falling to the floor after standing up (unconsciously) and smacking my shoulder pretty hard on the way down on the corner of a desk... you decide if it is bad or not. lol p.s. I have breathed in helium many times before to joke around and make my voice lighter so it's not like that happened because my body wasn't used to it.

yup. On the last day of school last year, a kid got a hold of a helium balloon, and breathed into it, and sound extreamly squeaky, and sounded like a chipmunk.
I don't think its bad for u, but i wouldent know for sure.

Not really ... that being said, though, if you did it too many times in a row you could pass out because the gas in the baloons your are sucking on have no oxygen in them. Take a few breaths between.

yes and if you breath to much you get high or die so be careful. Also, you know you loose brain cells when you breath that stuff in?
