Harmful effects of acetone - puffy eyes?

Question

A few years ago, I was experimenting with acetone, and being in my ignorant and foolish youth, I burned the chemical in my home. To be honest, it was just an empty can of nail polish (there was still some residue on the sides of the can) so the amount was quite small. However, after I concluded my ridiculously imprudent experiment, I read an article about acetone on the internet. Only then did I slap myself in the face, repeatedly calling myself a stupid monkey. But it was only 5 minutes later when things start to get funky. My vision started to blur, and I felt mildly dizzy. Being slightly frightened, I ran to my kitchen, far away from the room where the acetone was burned. Of course I opened the windows, and everything was eventually alright, but the following morning I awoke with bloated eye lids. As they day continued, the condition of my eyes worsened. A day later, my eyes started to slowly revert to their original state. So what do you think: Acetone, or seasonal allergies?

Answer 1

I would think it was the acetone gasses. I once heard that if you use alot of nail polish remover, that causes those little bumps that are at the bottom of your eyes, like from the corner near your nose, and underneath your eyes. Usually seen on older women. Correct me if Im wrong. I once noticed that on myself when I used nail polish remover a few times. Its gone now.

Answer 2

dont know

Answer 3

As it was a few years ago it is hard to judge the cause of your symtpoms at the time.  Either way it should have no relevence to the condition of your eyes now.
