What will happen if you breathe in too much powder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type?: What kind of powder? If talcum (baby) powder, you may have difficulty breathing or coughing. This can cause irritation but hopefully resolves as your body coughs it out. If you have any type of lung disease, even controlled asthma, you may want to see your doctor if you have symptoms.
