[Shotta]

hi all as the title suggest i (Stupidly)may have smoked fluon accidentally...
well about 10 minutes ago, I went downstairs to get some wood roaches,i was bent over trying to capture the little buggers and my hand touched a bit of the fluon that was painted on the sides (it was dry) anyway i ended up giving up on gettin the roaches an had a smoke completely forgetting about washing my hands!!:facepalm:,would it be harmful?, are there any side effects?? i didnt notice any weird smells or anything,any help would be appreciated.

If you are really that worried I would suggest contacting the Poisons Information Center, they are far more equipped to deal with your concerns than a reptile forum

The fluorine compounds such as Teflon and I guess Fluon (both "non-stick" products) can be very toxic when overheated - a teflon coated frypan or saucepan will give off a gas which will kill birds in enclosed spaces when overheated, but I wouldn't think there's a problem with having it on your fingers when smoking. By far the biggest problem would be the tar in your lungs from the cigarette (if that's what you were smoking...)
