Best Answer

Yes it can

When chloroform was first used as an anaesthetic it was poured on to a cloth placed over the nose and the patient breathed the vapour and they went to sleep. Those people who were very scared of being operated upon resisted breathing in until they finally took a very deep breath. This made them overdose, stopped the heart and they died. These deaths prompted the development of a measured and steady dosing system.
