Do you think this is ok ?!


Question: Do you think this is ok !?
READ ALL OF ITI stupidly painted my nails a strong, but vile colour!. I decided to take it off and got most of it off, but then i painted over it, and my nails looked like puke!. I spent ages taking it ok and i used loads of nail polish remover!. I spilt some (and have now put soapy water over it)!. Then I ran a small bath and put soap and nail polish remover in it!.
Although i haven't directly drunk nail polish remover do you think i could have inhaled it deeply !? If soo what will happen !? I don't really feel differentWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yahoo! Answers is not the best place to get safety/toxicity information!. Ask an expert!.

Acetone, a major component to many nail polish removers, is toxic, (LD50 inhalation by mice: 44g per cubic meter, over 4 hours), but not extremely so, if you have not drunk it or been in a closed environment containing the vapors you are probably not going to die!.!.!. but:

Yahoo! Answers is not the best place to get safety/toxicity information!. Ask an expert!.

(Your nail polish remover may or may not contain acetone)!.!.!. according to the Material safety Data Sheet for acetone, it:
"May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption!. Irritant!. Liquid may cause permanent eye damage (corneal clouding)!. Contact with skin may cause defatting, leading to irritation!. Long-term exposure may cause liver damage!. Typical TLV 750 ppm!. Typical OEL 250 ppm!."
"Risk Phrases" associated with acetone (on international chemical data sheets) are:
"Highly flammable!."
"Irritating to eyes!."
"Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed!."
"Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness!." or cracking!.

If you think you may have been exposed to any volatile compound and you don't know if it is toxic, you should not hesitate to contact a Poison Control Center!. In the USA, the number is 800-222-1222 You can find a local PCC at:
http://www!.aapcc!.org/dnn/Resources/FindL!.!.!.

It is always best to read the directions on any chemical product before use!. Your container of nail polish should have some fine print on it telling what is actually in it (again it may be more or less toxic than acetone) and should alert you of any risks present!.

It should also have the number for Poison Control or a Product Safety help desk or the like!.

It's sometimes dangerous to mix products, they nay have unexpected reactions!. "Your 'soap' and 'nail polish remover' bath" is not necessarily dangerous, but without knowing what chemicals are in each product nobody can tell you!.

If you think someone might have been exposed to a toxic substance, call a poison control center: 1-800-222-1222!.

The American Association of Poison Control Centers says that any of the following (any of which is found in many homes) may be poisonous or harmful especially to children or people with compromised systems (like asthma, or any breathing disorder):
medicines
iron pills
cleaning products
laundry products
nail glue remover and primer
batteries
bug and weed killers
cigarettes
alcohol
mouthwash
plants (indoor and outdoor)
lighter fluids

And it bears repeating: Yahoo! Answers is not the best place to get safety/toxicity information!. Ask an expert!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
