Type of paint ?: In the US lead based paints have been banned from public use for decades. Oil based paints release some gasses but none should have real toxic effect. Improvements in latex based paints make them more common now for exterior use & these are safe. You can always react negatively to any fumes or smell. Chances of any damage would be based on what the actual paint was composed of.
