This may be one reason why responsible adults keep plastic bags out of reach of small children. Not only may the tots suffocate themselves, but survivors could potentially deprive their brains of essential oxygen.

Oddly, many these same adults are perfectly comfortable obstructing their air supply for hours on end with masks that cover both nose and mouth.
"Some brain cells start dying less than 5 minutes after their oxygen supply disappears. As a result, brain hypoxia can rapidly cause severe brain damage or death."
The site goes on to reveal symptoms of brain hypoxia:
Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include:
Change in attention (inattentiveness)
Poor judgment
Uncoordinated movement
Symptoms of severe cerebral hypoxia include:
Complete unawareness and unresponsiveness (coma)
No breathing
No response of the pupils of the eye to light
To our knowledge there has been no documented cases of surgical masks causing cerebral hypoxia. Then, again, can we trust the Centers for Disease Control to accurately report the negative affects of extended mask use?
In an article titled COVID-19 prompts Stanford engineers to rethink the humble face mask research scientists John Xu sounded the alarm. Extended use of the N95 mask can be life threatening.
N95 masks are estimated to reduce oxygen intake by anywhere from 5 percent to 20 percent. That’s significant, even for a healthy person. It can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. For healthy people, these side effects are temporary and usually not an issue. But if you are severely ill and are continuously wearing an N95 mask for several hours at a time, it can damage the lungs. For a patient in respiratory distress, it can even be life threatening.
