If you were to inhale something deadly, how long would it take you to die?

[maynaiseman]

always wondered

 

[Rafiki]

depends on how deadly it is

 

[GayWolf420]

Depending on what the gas or chemical is, Some can kill you in minutes after exposure.

 

[liftedresearcher]

yup good place to ask because NS has a very high number of members who are experts with the respiratory system.

 

[maynaiseman]

Like cotton i guess, i think that's deadly, not like some poison or something

 

[MilaKunis]

Yeah you'll be fine. Unless you inhaled liked 40 pounds and it's starts blocking/shredding your lungs

 

[speedin]

Depends on how deadly your talking about. I read a story about a guy that cleaned some metal parts with parts cleaner, and then welded on it. He didn't wash off the parts cleaner good enough and when he went to weld, a puff of very very very toxic smoke went up in his face. Nothing happened for a few days then he got very sick and in fact almost died.

[MFM]

[Huck_Norris]

Chlorine is a gas...

Well cyanide stops cellular respiration and thereby blocks aerobic energy production in these cells. So if you were to breath that in you would die in seconds.
