What are the symptoms of freon inhalation from a leak in ac unit in a car?

All HVAC service techs have at one time or another incidentally inhaled refrigerant in the performance of their duties and there are no physical symptoms other than a temporary drying feeling of the eyes that I can recall. If the car you are speaking of is newer than 1993 or so it does not use a CFC refrigerant, also an automobile`s total refrigerant charge is less than 1 pound whereas the aforementioned HVAC Techs are exposed to equipment containing 1000`s of pounds of refrigerant and experience no ill effects. So I would not worry.
