You'll be fine!. We did that in our science class as well!. In fact we had to get out of the room!. Unless you passed out there and then i'd say you'll be okay :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, one of which is DEATH, but your teacher is not so unwise to have so lethal an amount of ammonia present in the class room!. The worst that will happen is you get a headache!. If you have not had one yet, then nothing will happen to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try not to!. Breath in pure ammonia and you'll know it, believe me!. You'll be OK!.

Its not good for your lungs but I have a feeling that in school setting its in diluted form!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah its just like breathing in say petrol for a short amount of time it'll only hit the top of you head, if it gets to much take a tablet and itll be gone in no time!
But dont be alarmed, only a minor illness that we all getWww@Answer-Health@Com

You'll be okay, but ya, it can get you dizzy, cause nose bleeds!. You'll be fine!. It's temporary!. Unless, of course, you're allergic! Ammonia is also in hair dye!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
