 I knew I should have binned that ruptured laptop battery. Damn my concern for the environment stopping me from doing so. One of the cells finally burst and let out a load of gas. I've moved Aragog into the bedroom so he's as far away as possible, but I'm still kind of worried - it's probably not a good thing to have unknown gases floating around a flat that I can't ventilate for fear of the cat escaping.

Any idea what it would be, and whether it's harmful or not? It was a Lithium Ion battery from a Macbook Pro, and the gas kind of smells like methanol, if that helps.

It isn't much to worry about so long as you don't shove your face in it and inhale deeply, repeatedly, and extensively. (It's not a likely formation in normal room environments, much less in lethal concentrations - remember as well that cyanide disperses pretty quickly, even in a moderate sized room.)

TL;DR it isn't a big deal in 99.999% of cases, but UGH the mess is so gross. *hugs?*

Also, also: KH-FM(1) is freaking awesome, even though not having Guard until level 15 was decidedly NOT.
