Title: Computer dust cleaner for cleaning dust out of mouse good idea?
Post by: Johnny321 on April 27, 2010, 07:42:27 PM
Hi all i just bought some dust off computer cleaner for my mouse, my mouse had lots of dust in it so i thought this would be great, I thought it was just canned air but now reading on the internet Ive heard people have died from it, it accidently sort of sprayed me in the face, my eyes started burning alittle, i went and flushed out my face and eyes with water like the label told me too. but is it safe to use my mouse with that stuff sprayed all over it? I plugged in a different mouse for now. Please reply Im very worried.

The only way that you can die from that stuff is if you intentionally inhale it. People inhale duster to get high. Some unfortunate people have died from it because it can freeze your lungs. Your mouse should be fine.

Also, if you're using a PS/2 mouse, turn the computer off before you plug it back in.
