American Chipmakers Had a Toxic Problem, Then They...
Acetone isn't very toxic. And it's quite biodegradable. I've had girlfriends who had acetone breath when dieting. But hey, I rather like the smell :)

Different strokes for different folks --- I know acetone isn't that bad for you, but I can't stand the smell. I have to be in another room when nail polish is being applied.

I notice this in sick kids. A decent fever and no eating and they smell this way quite quickly.
