What damages can Lysol do to your brain?

Question

OK I have OCD ( That's why I use it) . Around a month ago, I have using Lysol Vanilla & Blossoms scent frequently. I heard Lysol kills brain cells. I would say I'm pretty intelligent. I'm just 18 years old . I have too much of a life ahead of me to become stupid. I pride myself in being smart, and I don't want to become an idiot because I inhale damn Lysol. Some times, I feel like running in my noise. I feel something weird in my head like if someone is touching my head. I'm really scared that Lysol is killing some neurons. Please I need help like a whole explanation. I'm so scared :*(

I'm presuming that by your having OCD and "using" Lysol a lot refers to having a cleaning compulsion (ritual).  With regard to the fumes from Lysol (or other cleansers), please keep the room well-ventilated, including doors and windows open while cleaning (and afterwards).  Please talk to your doctor about your current health concerns regarding its usage.  (Not to cause a panic, but my friend actually has a Brain Injury from "huffing" at the age of 12, now in her 30s.)

Pertaining to the OCD, I'm not sure if you're aware, but a very effective treatment for those with OCD and rituals is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) known as "exposure and response/ritual prevention" (ERP).

The kinds of therapist who may administer cbt for those with mental illness are either a clinical psychologist (PhD or PsyD) or a licensed-clinical social worker (LCSW).

Before making an appointment with a licensed therapist who administers cbt, or more specifically, ERP for those with OCD, please ask if they have ever treated patients with OCD utilitzing the ERP technique (and how many patients they've treated, thus far).
