A member asked:

I inhaled some fumes from a caulk remover solvent and 91% isopropyl alcohol when diying at home for 10-15 minutes. i wore a bandana over mouth and nose but still got a headache. im probably being paranoid, but is this enough to cause brain damage?

Inhalants may cause change in mood and temporary memory changes. The use of the bandana should be replaced with a more efficient N95 or occupational mask. Avoid inhalation of chemicals. Stay well hydrated and open windows while working. If the symptoms continue, please see acute care. '
