Helium isn't really bad for you. It's just that your body needs oxygen to function properly. It's okay to inhale helium once in a while; you just couldn't live off the stuff.

What element has 2 protons 1 neutron and 2 electrons?
Helium-3 is the element that fits the description you provided. It has 2 protons, 1 neutron, and 2 electrons. Helium-3 is a rare isotope of helium found in very small quantities on Earth.
What are common compounds for helium?
Common compounds for helium include helium-3 (He-3) and helium-4 (He-4), which are isotopes of helium. Helium is typically chemically inert and does not readily form compounds with other elements under normal conditions.
What is the element name for He?
The element name for He is Helium. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is the second lightest and second most abundant element in the universe.
Is a helium a metal or nonmetal?
Helium is a nonmetal. Think about the helium balloon!
What is the atomic sign for helium on the periodic table?
The atomic symbol for helium on the periodic table is He.
Is it bad to let helium into your atmosphere?
Nope.
Why does helium taste bad?
I don't think helium tastes bad, not to me. All it does is blows up balloons and makes your voice sound like a chipmunk.
Is helium a good element or bad element?
There is no such thing as a good element or a bad element.
Will you fly if you inhale helium?
more importantly are you thick, it doesnt, helium diffuses through us
What is the type of gas us used in balloons?
Helium.
what state in the US produces the greatest amount of helium and why?
Texas produces the greatest amount of helium for any US state, because one large gas field in Texas happens to have natural gas with a relatively large concentration of helium.
Why did the hindenburg not use helium?
It wasn't. The US was the biggest producer of helium, and didn't want to sell any to Germany. So they used Hydrogen, which is also light, but very flammable.
What would happen if helium didn't exist?
The reaction in the sun which gives us energy involves helium. If helium didn't exist we would receive no energy and life wouldn't exist on the earth.
Is it bad to do the helium challenge?
A little helium isn't harmful, but inhaling an entire balloon-full can block oxygen to your brain, which might cause you to pass out. There has been at least one death from breathing helium from a pressurized tank instead of a balloon, too.
Why do balloons put us in happy moods?
Because The helium gets you high.
Is too much helium bad?
Original answer: "voice go up high..... i think that is it..."People should not answer questions if they are too ignorant or bigoted to do so properly.Inhaling Helium is always a risk. When helium is inhaled, it takes up space in the lungs that air (nitrogen, oxygen, et cetera) should occupy. This will lead to suffocation if the helium is not quickly pumped from the lungs by breathing air for several minutes. Too much helium is bad for you, because not all air is removed from the lungs in one breath. Therefore, repeatedly breathing helium will make you short of breath, effectly suffocating you over time. This does not always result in death.
Why was hydrogen used on the hindenburg?
The Helium Control Act (1927) controlled the export of helium outside of the United States. At that time, the US had a production monopoly on the gas. A secondary factor was the cost of helium due to the general scarcity of supply.
