"Fix-a-Flat"  It works good,  when you have a flat and do not have the time or
energy to change the tire.  However, do not breathe the stuff!!  Last week I
had a can of Fix-a-Flat under the seat of my 78 Chevy Pickup, ( It says on the
can 'do not store inside of your car'........too bad I didn't read it.)  That
can blew up when the seat was adjusted and  it was ran over by the seat track.
I drove the truck for a couple of days after, but the smell was so strong I
could no longer stand it, so I attempted to clean it out.  I removed the seat,
and was hit with a rush of the rather toxic fumes.  Right away I became light
headed, lost my ballance and fell into the door jamb of the truck, slicing my
face open. ( Lots of Blood)  When I got up , I took a quick break, cleaned up
my face, then went back to cleaning out the truck.  The remainder of the day,
I was dizzy, and my sight was clouded.  That evening, Angie ended up taking me
to the Emergency Room, where I spent several hours wired  like a surround
sound system, and on 100% Oxygen.  Since then, I have been pretty sick for
several days.  So in conclusion, I reccomend that if you have this product in
your car or truck, DO NOT keep it inside of your vehicle!!!!  I learned the
hard way.  Hopefully, my idiocy can help someone else out there.

PS  I still carry a can of Fix-a-Flat in my truck, but now it is in a sealed
container, in a much  safer place!!
(It took a lot to admit my mistake to you all , but I was hoping some good
could come from this.)
