Question : Hi. My son and his friend decided it would be a great idea to paint his car in our closed garage. Could they suffer brain damage and or other side effects from the exposure? They say they're ok but should they be checked out by a doctor?

Brief Answer:
use special masks

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM

I can understand your concern

It might be that thay have mainly respiratory problems moe than brain ones.

It would be better for them to use special masks and to maintain the door of the garage open in order to keep fresh air in the area.

If they complain of dry cough,breathlessness or difficulty in sleeping mainly the first 24 hours than this might be a sign that thay should be examined by a doctor and thay immediately should leave the garage and get fresh air

If not than no need to worry about just to be a little bit careful and i don't think nothing bad will happen .

Take care and feel free and feel free to ask me again

Regards

Dr.Jolanda
