Does anybody know of any concrete proof that Nitromethane (liquid form), or the burning of nitro (gases/fumes) cause heath problems or concerns?

I have heard everything from cancer to liver problems and I tend to believe that it's all stuff that people have made up in their minds that it's bad for you since it is so hard on your senses.

I used to work on a Nitro Funny Car for a few years, never wore a gas mask, and have never experienced any side effects.

What do you all think?

I just did a quick search and found this:

Chemical Sampling Information: Nitromethane

So it looks like it has been tested on animals, but not confirmed in humans?

Josh, I would have to say nitro has been tested on humans for many, many years! I know it has been tested on me hundreds of times with no Ill effects that I am aware of!

Doesn't it cause excessive loss of money, increased ego and decrease in social skills with marital partners?

If Nitromethane had any severe health risks, you can bet we'd be able to tell by looking at Prudhomme, Connie K, Ed McCullough and Dan Olson! They've been around it for 40 years!

I always thought it was highly addictive. At least in my case.

My wife says that it has caused me a tremendous amount of daydreaming during work hours, excessive doodling of roll cages, blower scoops and zoomie pipes, a distorted sense of what my life's goals should be, and a hightened level of immaturity when I find out the newest edition of Drag Racer is in the mailbox.

Priceless, Toby!!!

It has been clinically proven to cause partially detatched retnias as well!
There is no cure for Nitro addiction.
Tell your Doctor if you are planning to attend a nitro drag race.
Ask you Doctor if you are healthy enough to smell nitro.

Certain people should not smell Nitro, including those suffering from mild to severe boredom associated with astonomically large bank account balances and a deep love for auto racing.

Nitro may cause a drastic rise in blood pressure upon spinning the starter.

Talk to your Doctor about smelling nitro if you are a NASCAR fan.

Those experiencing severe nitro depression should contact thier nearest NHRA Powerade race track immediately.
