A member asked:
Would spray painting in a garage with little to no ventilation in a 3 month duration totaling 6-7 cans be enough to cause toxic encephalopathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not, but...: In reality, there is no answer... because there are too many variables. For example, spraying 6-7 cans in a 3-month period (91 days) could mean spraying 1/14 of a can each day for 91 days. A person could spray 1/14 of a can every day while not inhaling, and be just fine. As one can see, there is no meaningful answer without exact details. A patient should see his primary care doctor if worried.
