That sounds like amniotic fluid. Not harmless if inhaled.

it is called Liquivent (its marketing name) : The breatheable liquid is now being used by military units all over the >>world. It's effiecent because like you saw in the Abyss, it doesn't >>cause the pressure vs. depth problems that straight air uses. It's >>similar to ambeonic fluid (fluid that a fetus/child lives in in the >>womb) and is thicker than water...Kind of inbetween a milky substance >>and a pure hydo one. It is supposedly able to 'carry' up to over 25% of >>the oxygen needed to breathe above water..So your lungs we be working >>twice as hard for basically 2/3 the air...Enough to keep you alive, but >>I'd say you wouldn't feel all that great after having breathed that >>stuff for an extended priod of time. yarchive.net/med/liquid_breathe.html Wikipedia has a good article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing Here is another site: http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/webprojects2002/shorrock/3-%20%20Liquid_breathing.htm There is a website for Liquivent http://www.allp.com/LiquiVent/lv.htm If you contact Alliance Pharmaceuticals, they should be able to tell you who your local distributor is.

I guess I'll have to wade into this. So far tests have been conducted using animals only utilizing a perfluorocarbon as the liquid gas exchange medium. In all of the tests, damage has occurred to the animals respiratory system , either during the immersion or complications afterwards. So, currently, "inhaled into the lungs by a person harmlessly" is out of the question. Perfluorocarbons (PFC's) are made by combining carbon and flourine. As I stated earlier, they have been used in lab experiments on animals that were completely ventilated using the liquid, but the results, although improving, are still not considered at all safe. No testing of this type of gas exchange has yet occurred with people. However, there is another use for perfluorocarbons that HAS been tested on humans and that is both as a mist used in conjunction with a normal ventilator to keep open damaged air sacs in the lungs and also as an injectable liquid to help the blood carry more oxygen.
