Hi there. Yesterday, my brother decided to refurbish our staircase. He used a certain chemical foundation glue for this which contains methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone. There were very strong fumes of this glue substance, almost intoxicating, and could be smelled everywhere in the house. It crept through all cracks. I walked on the staircase unknowingly and inhaled it, and felt very lightheaded afterwards, and really strange in the head.
Does anyone know if inhalation of this substance can cause neurons (brain cells) damage? I have looked it up and some studies already indicated that it did. And, if it does, is it possible to regenerate these brain cells, or would the damage that was done be irreversible? A day after, I still feel this numbing feeling in the head. Also is there a protective substance (vitamin etc) that could be protective against such a chemical substance?
I would really appreciate it and I hope someone can help me out here.
Here are the actual technical specifications of the products that were used: https://www.bison.nl/c

The total ingredients list of the two glues were:
Acrylate copolymeres dispersion
methylisothiazolinone
methylchloroisothiazolinone
Calcium sulfate dihydrate
N-butyl acetate
Dimethyl sulfoxide
Cyclohexanone
Thank you!
