        A quick Google search also reveals benzene from the balloon kits ranging from 26 to 44 ppm. Not great.

    When listing symptoms, don’t lead with euphoria.

    lol these have been around forever. It’s essentially some rubbery glue and a little straw. Very common in SEA. My mom used to blow them up for us because I could never do it right.
