Hi there,
Poison Control stated these side effects, "Solvent-based or oil-based paints may cause more irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract than water-based paints."

Paints can cause irritation if they get onto your skin. They can also be potentially harmful when swallowed, particularly oil-based paints.
Additionally, the fumes from these types of paints can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat. Irritation should go away when you go out into fresh air.
Short-term side effects from inhaling VOCs can include:
irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat
headache
feeling dizzy or light-headed
nausea
trouble breathing
Exposure to high concentrations of VOCs for extended periods can cause long-term damage to certain systems of the body, including:
nervous system
liver
kidneys
Generally speaking, water-based paints give off lower levels of chemical vapors and VOCs.
