👉 "Hits fumes" refer to the unpleasant, often irritating effects that can occur after prolonged exposure to substances commonly found in music production, such as solvents, paints, and aerosols. These chemicals, which are used for their quick-drying properties and ease of application, can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, headaches, and even more severe health problems with long-term exposure. The term "fumes" emphasizes the lingering, sometimes odorless, and harmful nature of these substances, which can persist in the air and on surfaces after use. Musicians and producers often experience these effects during extended sessions or when working in poorly ventilated spaces, highlighting the importance of proper safety measures and ventilation to mitigate these risks.
