Can you get high off ammonia?

Question

I was cleaning my cats litter box and it smelt soo strong of ammonia, and I kept breathing it in, and now I feel high. I was standing still and it felt like I was floating. Can u get high off ammonia and is it toxic?

Answer 1

Ammonia has severe harmful effects on human body, as it is  highly corrosive and irritating to the respiratory tract  and skin, and one should not inhale it, as it can be extremely  fatal. Even fairly low airborne concentrations (50 ppm) of ammonia produce rapid onset of eye, nose, and throat irritation; coughing; and narrowing of the bronchi. More extreme  clinical conditions  include sudden  narrowing of the throat and swelling, causing upper airway obstruction and accumulation of fluid in the lungs. This may result in low blood oxygen levels which would create altered mental status.

Answer 2

yup, you definitely can. it's almost an addicting smell. i love it, but it's also not that great for ya.
