Question: Is it possible to get permanent brain damage through inhaling the fumes given off by spray paint?

Thanks for the question 🙂 This certainly isn’t something you want to be doing. There are a lot of bad symptoms that can happen through inhalation of spray paint and aerosols generally and people have died from abusing them. If you’re using spray paint sensibly (in a well-ventilated area) and not too often, there’s likely nothing to worry about. If you’re unsure if you are using it sensibly, it’s always best to check!
