Are Inhaling Fumes Of Burnt Rubber Harmful?
Hi!
I was sterilizing my son's bottles in the microwave and also put in his bulb nasal aspirator. I had in in the microwave for 4 mins. I smelled something burning and took the sterilizer out to find that the bulb had melted. I inhaled some of the fumes, could they be harmful to me?

Hi,
Thanks for writing here.
Actually, burnt rubber smoke is harmful,but the exposure should be long or frequent.As in your case you had respired few fumes which are barely of any harm to you.So be relax and dont think more about it.
