非常に稀ですが遊びでヘリウムガスを吸って意識不明で重体になったり亡くなる人がいる
ヘリウムガスは無臭、無害だけど吸い過ぎは酸欠を引き起こす
ヘリウムガスを吸うと、なぜ声が高くなるのか？
人や動物は声帯に息を通して振動させ声を出す
声帯から発せられた音が声道を通るスピードが速いと高い声になる
ヘリウムガスはとても軽いので、声道を通るスピードが速い
なのでヘリウムガスを吸って声を出すと高い声になる

As mentioned above, helium gas is a non-toxic gas, so there is no problem if helium gas leaks from a balloon gas cylinder and inhales a little.
However, if a large amount of helium gas is filled in the enclosed space, the oxygen concentration may decrease. When using it, make sure to ventilate thoroughly.
In addition, there is no risk of ignition or explosion, but if you keep it close to fire or leave it in a place exposed to direct sunlight, the temperature in the gas cylinder will rise and the gas may erupt. Care must be taken when controlling the temperature of the storage area.
It is said that helium gas, which is tasteless, odorless, and nontoxic rare gas, does not dissolve in the blood even if inhaled, and does not affect the human body. However, helium gas does not contain oxygen, so if you inhale a large amount of it, you will be temporarily lacking oxygen, which can cause difficulty breathing. This is not limited to helium gas, but can happen if you inhale a large amount of oxygen-free gas.
To prevent such accidents, helium gas sold as joke goods contains about 20 percent oxygen. However, helium gas used to inflate balloons does not contain oxygen and should never be inhaled directly.
Be sure to recognize that helium gas for balloons and helium gas for voice transformation have different oxygen content.
