Can helium hurt you if you inhale it for a balloon?


Rate This Answer

It can be. Breathing in pure helium deprives the body of oxygen, as if you were holding your breath. If you couldn't breathe at all, you'd start to die in minutes-as soon as your body exhausted the supply of oxygen stored in the blood.
