Do you smell gasoline fumes or exhaust???

Hi.
I have a phobia of gasoline --particularly the smell.

I can't drive by a gas station without getting into a panic.

My question is ->
Will I get brain damage if I smell the air when
going past a gas station ...
or if I breathe in exhaust fumes when walking down the street ...

Or would I have to dip a towel in gas
and sniff it?

smells in the air are not going to give you brain damage...dont pour gasoline into a rag and stick it to your face. thats just assinine.

No you will not get braindamage from smelling the air around a gas station. Exhaust fumes will not give you brain damage either unless you're sitting by an exhaust pipe inhaling the fumes all day.

If you are very sensitive to pollutants a lot of exhaust can give you a cough, but you're not going to get brain damage.

Yes, you would have to dip a towel in gas and sniff it to get and brain damage. You'd probably have to do it multiple times before you'd get braindamage.

Get over the fear, you're not in any danger.

It's been tested in labs, you'd have to inhale HUGE amounts of it to possible affect your health. Think about it, every body who pumps gas or visits a gas station (90% of the population) would be sick or mentally ill.
