HA this reminds me of back when I was a tadger and worked as a gaffer. In the 80s and 90s we saw a lot of fog machine action. sometimes for an on camera thing and other times as an off camera light diffuser.
Anyway mineral oil was a common "safe" fog fluid. It would be heated and atomized spreading all over the set. A few lungfuls and five minutes later everyone was rushing to the heads.
Those in the know downloaded first to avoid the rush. Not sure why breathing it had the same laxative effect as drinking it, but it was pretty funny. The first time I saw it happen, my boss set it up and said "watch this."
Emptied the set for about 20 minutes.
