"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.)
