No. In general, when used as intended and in moderation, incense is not lethal.
However...
Excessive and prolonged exposure to the smoke produced by burning incense may pose health risks, respiratory issues being the most likely.
Bad incense ( un-natural synthetics ) can release harmful compounds, such as benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), when burned.
Long-term and continuous inhalation of bad substances may contribute to respiratory issues and could potentially have adverse effects on health.
Individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, allergies, or sensitivities may be more susceptible to these risks.
How to stay SAFE:
- Burn organic and natural incense
- Use incense in moderation
- Burn it in well-ventilated areas
- Avoid prolonged exposure.
- Consult with your doctor if you have specific concerns and get personalized advice.
Thanks for staying safe.
