Original Note:
Nitrous oxide is rather safe. Abusive recreational use can lead to asphyxia thus the user hurting themselves. It also oxidizes the cobalt in vitamin B12 and partially inactivates methionine synthase, resulting in a neuroanemic syndrome (potential irreversible nerve damage). https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/nitrous-oxide-effects-are-reversible-with-early-treatment/
