Yes, a single deep breath of pure helium will drive all the oxygen out of your lungs and you will pass out. After that you will probably be breathing air again so you will recover, but remember, the first result of reduced oxygen to the brain is brain damage.
yes and no.............
Inhaling Helium in small amounts is safe enough, such as taking a breath of helium from a balloon to change your voice, but even doing this too many times in a row can cause headaches, disorientation or lightheadedness, since helium deprives your body of oxygen...and taking a single deep breath of pure helium can also lead to unconsciousness, and maybe death by asphyxiation.
Remember, the first result of reduced oxygen to the brain is brain damage. The second result is death.
But other than that and the voice changes helium is basically harmless in small amounts...Helium is also mixed with other gases such as oxygen, compressed air etc for diving purposes...
No. Just breath every once and a while. There is helium in the air we breathe and we're just fine. So after everytime you suck down some helium from a balloon or whatever, just take a deep breath so your brain gets the oxygen it needs.
Yes, your inner organs will collapse and then blood will stop rushing to your brain any you will die in a matter of hours.
you're supposed to be breathing oxygen instead, so if you breathe too much helium, you won't get enough oxygen
yes.
Yes. It kills brain cells and it's to high of a concentration for your body to handle. People were made for oxygen.... not helium. It also leads to brain damage.
------------------------
Breathing in too much helium can displace oxygen that you need and you may get dizzy while you're doing it.
If you breathe in just PURE helium, that can lead to suffocation, because our bodies need oxygen.
Inhaling continuous breaths of helium one after another starves the body of oxygen. A person will eventually pass out, and perhaps even worse. At most, inhaling once or twice from a helium balloon, separated by deep inhalations of air, will be a way to prevent the harm. So, bottom line is that it's okay to inhale a bit of helium for fun but you have to pay attention to how much you inhale so it won't harm your health.

Yes, breathing helium is harmful if that's all you're breathing. You need oxygen to live, and without O2 in the gas you breathe, you will lose consciousness and you can asphyxiate. Asphyxiation leads to death. Helium is used in what is called mixed gas breathing apparatus for use in deep diving. In this situation, the gas mixture is almost all helium, and oxygen is regulated in a way that the partial pressure of oxygen is "correct" and the diver gets enough but not too much O2 and can dive safely.
It isn't a bad thing to do....we had helium balloons sink then i sucked the helium out....make sure to suck in oxygen also, or else you will probably die or something. Helium makes your voice sound weird and awesome!! I love it but it isn't that good for me. It's fun, but it's not the best. Don't do it that often. I'd use helium balloons if I were you, not helium tanks. (:
What else can I help you with?
How do you make your voice squeaky with a balloon?
To make your voice squeaky with a balloon, simply inhale some helium from the balloon before speaking. Helium is less dense than air, causing your vocal cords to vibrate faster and produce a higher-pitched sound. Be cautious not to inhale too much helium, as it can be harmful in large quantities.
How dumb does helium make you?
Helium does not make you dumb. Inhaling too much helium can temporarily displace oxygen in your lungs, which can lead to dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting. It is important to use helium responsibly and never inhale it directly from a pressurized tank.
How do you cure a zinc overdose?
you can get poisoned by taking a poisonous amount of it.
is helium used in air balloons?
It can be, but usually not. Helium is a bit expensive, and it'd cost too much for most balloonists to use it. It's cheaper to use a hot air balloon. helium is lighter than air. hence balloons filled will helium will float in air.
What happens if their is too little helium in the air?
Helium is not important for living beings.
What happens when you inhale helium?
When you inhale helium, your voice may sound higher-pitched because helium is less dense than the air in your lungs, causing the speed of sound to increase. However, inhaling too much helium can be dangerous as it can displace oxygen in your lungs, leading to difficulty breathing and potentially harmful side effects. It is not recommended to inhale helium for fun or as a prank.
How much helium can you inhale before it becomes lethal?
Inhaling too much helium can be lethal because it can displace oxygen in your lungs, leading to suffocation. It is important to avoid inhaling helium directly from a pressurized tank or balloon to prevent this risk.

Can you die from inhaling helium?
Only if you inhale too much. Your lungs can't function without oxygen, and helium is devoid of it. Inhaling a little has no long term adverse effects so long as you blow it out.

Which vitamins can be poisonous?
NO vitamin is poisonous, you need a moderation of vitamins to stay healthy. Having said that, taking too much or too little can be poisonous.
How do you suck helium from a balloon?
first you have to untie the ballon then you hold with you hand so that it wont come out then you hurry up and press it on you lip nd hold it tight on your lips then breth it in then hold it then talk then slowly release the heluim then it over it will on last about 15 sec so hurry up
How are the Draco lizards poisonous?
they eat too much poo
What happens when you inhale too much perfume?
You get headaches and a hurt nose.possibly a feeling to barf
Can you get sick from purfume?
if you snort it...... yes. if you inhale too much....... yes. not from a little bit though.
Why does tom young have a funny voice?
He inhales too much helium.
Is helium deadly?
Yes you can, but only in vast amounts, 1 balloon isn't going to kill you, but it might make you a bit dizzy because helium speeds up the way oxygen leaves the body, so by taking too much helium, you can actually die from suffocation. Be careful when using helium, because as funny as it can be to sound like Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz, it can be dangerous, and if over used like a drug, fatal.
