lactic acid slows down the respiration on the body. it also reduces the oxygen intake to muscles which is why people commonly ache after long periods of exercise.

Lactic acid build-up in the body can lead to a condition known as lactic acidosis, which can affect respiratory function by causing symptoms such as rapid breathing (tachypnea) and shortness of breath. Severe lactic acidosis can lead to respiratory failure if left untreated.
Lactic acid is generally considered safe for use in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. However, concentrated lactic acid can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper precautions should be taken when handling high concentrations of lactic acid.
The two main types of lactic acid are L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. They are optical isomers, meaning they have the same chemical formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms. L-lactic acid is the form produced in the human body during strenuous exercise, while D-lactic acid is produced by certain bacteria.

Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid. This type of respiration occurs when oxygen is not readily available, leading to the conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.
Lactic acidemia is the presence in excess of lactic acid in blood.
