Nitrous oxide used to be used in labor and delivery.

It is also used in dental offices. And now is common in raves attended by young people. They fill balloons with it, and sell them to inhale from.

If a person is marginal in B12 level, one exposure may precipitate low B12 symptoms. Otherwise it is more chronic exposures that are harmful in people with normally higher levels.
