Question
Is it dangerous to inhale chloroform from a bottle in a nonventilated space? Thank you. I don't have chloroform. Just curious.

Answer
It is dangerous in a non-ventilated AND a ventilated room especially if you are doing it yourself since you can't control how much you breathe. All the stuff you see in movies is just that...acting. Chloroform is very dangerous stuff.
