Potential risks 

• Risk of poisoning 

  When adhesive vapors are inhaled,  the respiratory paths could be damaged because even small amounts of the substances contained in some adhesives can have a caustic effect on the mucous membranes.

  Swallowing adhesive  can cause poisoning symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cramps, stomach aches, vomiting, respiratory paralysis and unconsciousness. Moreover, irritation may occur to the respiratory tracts and eyes.

• Risk of injury 

  Most adhesives can glue limbs and eyelids as well as cause severe irritation to skin and eyes.
