Is inhaling helium from a balloon safe?!


Question: Is inhaling helium from a balloon safe!?
I did it for the first time 3 days ago, and it was REALLY funny but I want to make sure it won't make me die xD
So, is it okay!? And if it's bad in, like, BIG quantities, what will it do to me!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
My dad works for a gas company so he gave me the info!. Inhaling helium is ok if you don't do it a lot!. The only reason why it's bad is because it doesn't have a lot of oxygen in it!. So when you breathe it in your body can't get anything out of it so it suffocates and if you hold it long enough you'll pass out!. Just don't overdo it and you'll be fine!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it is not safe!. The Helium balloons do not have enough oxygen to provide your body!. That is why you can feel dizzy or get headaches when you do this!. Anytime you deprive yourself of oxygen this could be possibly dangerous!.

haha, the first time i did that, it was hilarious!. i couldn't stop laughing!.

no, you won't die!. just don't do it too often or too much!. my parents told me it ruins your lungs or something!. i do it anyways, but yeah, not too often/much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is bad if you do it too much!. It is not extremely dangerous every once in a while, but if you do it a lot, it can cause neurological problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

what can it do to you!?!?!? well if you very skinny and don't way too much you may float up to outer space - be the first pilgrim to land on the sun - make sure you use sun protection just in caseWww@Answer-Health@Com
