Lol. Well one thing, ehem, if you... uh... breathe in helium, such as from a balloon, it...well.......makes your voice really....ha.....makes your voice really high. Think about Alvin The Chipmunk and you'll get the idea. This effect isn't harmful though, and extremely funny. =D
Traces of helium might be found in the body under some circumstances, but as helium is an inert gas, it isn't found in any compounds in the body. Helium certainly isn't necessary for life. The presence of helium in the body may only occur when we breathe some helium and it is taken up in the blood and diffuses into tissues. Even then, the helium exists as single atoms of this noble gas, and it will diffuse out of the body given a chance to do so.
The chemical symbol for helium is "He."
The symbol of Helium is He. Helium's atomic number is 2.
AnswerThere are two variants of helium -- helium 3 and helium 4. Helium 4 is not magnetic but helium 3 is. Its magnetism is, however, of different nature than e.g. that of iron. The magnetism of helium 3 is used for medical lung imaging.
Helium is a nonmetal. Think about the helium balloon!
Helium is a gas and is not found in the body
Helium, is not oxygen, and as such a large presences of helium in the body can asphyxiate and cause death.

No, human body doesn't float on helium as it is light.
Yes, but when there is too much helium in your body your voice gets high and squeaky like a chipmunk
Your body does not need helium. Helium is an inert gas, and it is not found as a "building block" of any organic material, or any other materials for that matter.
I'm personally not running out of helium. In fact helium is harmful to the human body in large doses. So no helium would not affect me.
No, helium kills your brain cells and damages other parts of your body.
Although helium gas is not toxic but it can cause asphyxiation by blocking the body access to oxygen.
Helium isn't toxic to the body but does deprive it of needed oxygen. By inhaling Helium you are actually pulling oxygen out of the body and can be potentially dangerous if oxygen isn't reintroduced. As the related link states, sucking it in from a Helium balloon won't kill you. You might just get light-headed or pass out (don't hit your head). Inhaling it from a tank or climbing into a giant Helium balloon is extremely dangerous and there are fatal cases.
It is not possible to survive by replacing oxygen with helium. The body cannot use helium for cellular respiration and would very quickly suffocate. The chemical processes involved in cellular respiration would not work with helium, so there is no way to adapt your body to do this.
Helios, the Greek work for our sun.
