People HAVE died when they get too much Helium in their lungs.

Might we go a bit farther?

The reason I ask is that I've seen people take big lungfuls of Helium,
which (obviously) doesn't produce the same effect.

Can someone explain why N is such a disaster but He doesn't?

(Should have paid more attention in chemistry classes!)
