sevoflurane

[Lastpuff]

Hi,
There a chap who has acquired a 250ml bottle of sevoflurane. he plans to put about 10ml on an handkerchief and inhale it. I tried to dissuade him however he refuses to listen. i tried to find ( on the internet ) what is a safe amount and wont kill him, however the information is very scanty, and whatever is available is a) too technical and b) talks about how it is administered with O2 and in operation theater conditions.
It would help me immensely if someone ( a healthcare professional) could tell , is 10ml put on a cloth and inhaled a safe amount ?
any other information would also be appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't think you'd be able to kill yourself with sevoflurane on a handkerchief if you'd tried. The stuff is like a non-flammable version of diethyl ether. You'd black out and fall over before you could hold the cloth to your nose and breathe enough...
