Can Drying Agents In Paint Cause Damage To Mucosa?

yes, I scraped paint from my bathroom ceiling that originally had a mildewcide/moldicide treatment in it and I did not wear a mask. My throat is not sore and bleeding and Discharge looked like it had tissue/skin in it with phlegm and blood. Is it possible that the drying agents have done damage to the mucosa?
