Yes. I recently had a small fire, I used my fire extinguisher, the fire man told me I would almost guaranteed get pneumonia, because I was coughing after using it (indicating I had probably inhaled some). Sure enough about 3 weeks later I got very sick and eventually had to go to the hospital, I had severe double lung pneumonia& had to get IV antibiotics
