Brief Answer:
Its better to stay away from these fumes

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is better to stay away from these fumes. It contains abortifacient chemicals like neem oil etc. Let others handle this type of work.

Now that you have already inhaled, its better to take rest for few hours and don't do any exertion.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
