Can you die from smelling too much nail polish?

I was wondering because it smells really strong here in my roomCan you die from smelling too much nail polish?
Yes but you'd have to concentrate it somehow, like in a paper bag.





See, nail polish is basically paint and so if inhaled will do the same things to you as huffing paint: brain damage, liver damage, respiratory problems... none of it at all healthy.





So open a window, ok?





EDIT: Polishes can contain toluene, formaldehyde and phthalates. Toluene is a common paint solvent and has a characteristic strong aromatic smell. It's nasty, you don't want to breathe it for long.Can you die from smelling too much nail polish?
you would honestly need a whole bunch of nail polish, but the smell may bother you...keep a window open, or a fan on to circulate the air! it cant be good for you (you'll lose brain cells or more likely get a bad headache) so dont do it!
How about opening a window? You won't die from just applying it to your nails, but if you do some excessive inhaling of the vapors it is probably possible.
For the most part, no -- nail polish will cause you no serious harm. It can cause minor problems like your headache, but overall, it's a safe product. Nail polish solvents dissolve and then evaporate.
definitely. I think you would have to have a lot more of it though. You should be fine. You'll probably just get a headache in a few hours and cancer in a few years.
nah, i'm sure it's not GREAT for you because it does smell toxic but as long as you are not always sniffing it then you'll be fine!!
Inhalants are one of very few drugs that can kill you in one shot. I would keep a window open.
if you lived in it for 89984984 years ya but not if it is in your room, i would say no.
YOU WOULD NEED ALOT . OPEN A WINDOW YOU ARE KILLING BRAINCELLS
umm yeah.....but it would have to be a lot....my friends bro died from that....open a window or something it's not good for youu :P
