Dear Anna, I recently used gloss paint and Eric, who has a poorly chest, developed such an awful cough I had him sleep in my room. It's taken over a week for the worst of the fumes to go so I would give it at least a fortnight, especially in an area that isn't easy to air. I don't know about latex paint but tile primer had me giggling like a loon and ordering pizza awhile back - just a warning! Best of luck with the painting. Bet the fuzzbutts can't wait to have their own den.
