Does anyone know if breathing the helium from Baloons is really bad?


Question:
everyone has breathed in balloon helium once in their life, or will, itsj ust a funny thing that makes your voice funny and it wears off in a second. I thought that, and had no idea it was bad until i heard on the news that 2 kids died from doing it. I'm don't do it all the time or anything, I'm just curious what it does to you. anyone know?

Answers:
can be bad, most the time its just stupid fun
didnt now it was bad
i haven't breathed in helium, I've thought about it...but it could fill your lungs to where oxygen can't get in so you will suffocate and die!! =(
me and my friends do it all the time so i asked my aunt who is a doctor and it is fine. it wont kill you or anything
it is bad for you and it can make you pass out but it is really fun specily how you sound like chipmunks.
Well, I know it can't be GOOD for you... maybe you should refrain from doing this and not make it a personal habit. I mean how often does this particular circumstance come up in your life? Hopefully not a daily occurance, I presume?
go one step further and experiment with drugs.balloons...come on
no parerents just say that to scare us
Well, I never suffered any ill effects, unless you count good-natured laugther with people who've never tried it before. however, I wouldn't reccomend repeating it more than a couple of times in a row (just to be on the safe side.)
