Paint fumes (depending on what kind) can cause damage to any human. Its often a good idea to refrain from breathing in paint fumes whether or not you have an aortic valve replacement. Paint fumes when inhaled can cause damage to and kill brain cells (which you have a limited supply of).
Yes, I myself used to vomit a lot after painting.
Yes, drug use can damage the brain and cause mental illness.
This is the fumes that paint and varnish give off when they are applied. As the paint cures, the fumes will go away. You can open up the area windows.
Cigarettes give off fumes that may harm the health. Automobiles also give off harmful fumes. Some common household products, such as paint also give off harmful fumes.
If you mean latex paint, none. Latex is a water based paint and has no toxic fumes.
You should have good ventilation when you paint because paint fumes can be dangerous. Inhaling paint fumes can lead to headaches, dizziness and even a loss of unconsciousness.
While paint fumes should not make a baby horribly ill, I would not recommend having a baby inhale paint fumes for a long period of time. In adults, paint fumes are known to cause headaches by irritating the nose and throat nerves. So I would suggest, if you have painted and cannot avoid having the baby around paint fumes, to open a window or put a fan in the room to help air out the space. for more information: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/paint/msg0110170323994.html
Paint fumes are dangerous to anyone, but since 'latex' is a water-based paint, there is less likely to be dangerous fumes. Still, you should never paint with a baby in close proximity. Is it possible that my daughter who was 8 weeks pregnant and painting the house they were selling could have had inhaled the fumes of the paint resulting in a damaged foetus resulting in a spontaneous abortion.
Paint fumes should last 2-3 days at most. If they persist put a fan in the room.
