Is Inhaling Spray Paint Fumes A Cause For Concern?
I spray painted a few days ago. It was windy, and I did not wear a mask. I know that I inhaled quite a bit. Afterwards I could smell spray paint everywhere I went, like it was with me. Then I would blow my nose, and out would come bits of spray paint inside my mucus. Since I ve spray painted (two or three days ago), I have been coughing like crazy. Now, it hurts. Maybe my lungs? Idk organs...But something hurts. What should I do?

Hi,
Single time exposure of limited time duration and lesser intensity is usually well managed by the respiratory system mechanics.
When the symptoms are of mild category and fading with time, it usually takes around 48 hours to clear the system from the exposure effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
