It may have direct on the Cardiac System. It can cause bronchial spasms and suffocation. Long-term exposure can damage the liver, kidneys, and skin. Inhaling this solvent can even cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. \nI have personally known people who had used it as a 'high' (sniffing correction fluid). They were in a mental hospital facility and had permanent brain damage. They had difficulty speaking. Their symptoms were like those of alcoholics with 'wet brain'. There is no recovery for them.\nIt is a SCARY chemical.
