Dear Edwin,
I suppose if human's were lungless, and survived on oxygen exchange through their skin, sure, it's
possible to asphyxiate from being covered in paint.
The skin is a remarkable organ, and is essentially a barrier against a whole host of pathogens and
other invading toxins. I suppose, since one of the main functions of the skin is "cooling" via
perspiration, that if the evaporative effects are impeded by paint, potential hyperthermia could set
in, but I think this is somewhat remote.
Regards,
Murray A.W. Hudon, R.N.

the models were covered entirely in gold paint and then 20minutes later, the model died. cause her
