Tight chest

[Vinda looo]

Is it just me but lately when I have been cooking a few curries, I feel like my chest is tightening up, could be through inhaling all the spices. Has anyone else ever felt like this after cooking with spices for long periods.

I have had shortness of breath a few times from going a bit OTT with the chili but not from just inhaling the spices frying and i've spent a whole days curry cooking.

Everytime i cook up a batch of base sauce....we get what we call "THE ONION SHOWER"

The onion smell/odour seems to get into the hot water tank and comes out when you have a shower the next day making the bathroom stink of onions.....very weird.

Its the price you pay, god knows what the neighbours must smell coming from the kitchen

Stew ;D

Your one step away from taking a bath in curry, seek help now

Vindaloo,

I'd just check with a doctor if I were you. You can't be too careful with these things.

maybe you have invented a form of nerve gas   My guess though it will be the gas released by the chillies.

Must admit I've never suffered from this effect, must be immune or something. But there's nothing wrong with the house ponging of curry ;D ;D . mmmmmmmmmmm spicy.

Hi,

At times i have to stop frying and go outside.

I remember some one posted and informed us
its the gas been given off by the chillies
that get us, its a form of posion gas.

Think CP posted that the gas produced from frying chillies and onions = a form of mustard gas.

In short it will burn the soft tissues if you inhale it.
