Oh, and SAB
CO2 is not toxic or directly harmful to humans in any way.
However, if you breathe anything other than air you will suffocate from lack of oxygen. So I think that's what you meant.
For him to say CO2 "depletes" oxygen in the blood is incorrect - it's not carbon monoxide which has a greater affinity to red blood cells than oxygen. If there's not enough oxygen entering the bloodstream, different story, but it's unlikely that a spray of CO2 would have a major effect on you, not to mention kill you. If no oxygen is entering the bloodstream - you'll pass out, at which point only a moron would continue spraying CO2 onto your face for the next few minutes.
