Some people develop serious difficulty in breathing; this can pose a real danger for those who suffer from Asthma, as well as other respiratory problems. It can also cause brain and nerve damage.
Prolonged and repeated exposure can cause dizziness even vertigo, headaches, and confusion, loss of time, coordination issues, and numbness in the hands and feet, damage to small blood vessels and nerve endings, heart issues, vision problems even blindness, depression, nausea, vomiting, and memory impairment as it kills brain cells.
