Yesterday's FBG was 73. Last night, Jun made a spicy Thai coconut curry
with Thai squash, those little pea-sze Thai eggplants and other stuff,
seasoned with dried, powdered bitter melon. BG before dinner was 65. That
was so good that I practically inhaled it! In fact, about 1/3 of the way
through, I did. Not enough to get pneumonia, but Capsaicin in the trachea
is not a good thing! Burned like Hell. As I kept coughing, it kept coming
up and burning again. Finally, I just collapsed in sheer exhaustion and
staggered to bed.

This morning's FBG was 73. By dinner time, it was down to 53! [Note to self
- start eating something during the day] I felt normal. My daughter gave me
a small bowl of pasta with a tomato and meat sauce, topped with grated
parmesan. One hour PP was 67. Two hour 85.

Maybe I need a slice of thin crust peperoni pizza?

How awful, I accidentally inhaled Wasabi a few days ago and it made me
"choke". Was over with quite quickly thank goodness, nothing like what
you experienced.

Glad it didn't last long. I likely wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!

Sounds horrible. Glad you survived OK.

I had a similar, but not as severe, incident the first time I tried
grinding my dried bird's eye chilis from my garden in the electric
coffee grinder. The dust that escaped the grinder was invisible but
bloody effective in getting up my nose and down my throat.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I haven't been silly
enough to repeat it.

Sorry, Alan. Glad you survived, too. Jun often dry-wok-roasts those little
Thai bird's eye chiles. Even with all doors and windows open, it drives
everyone out of the house. except Jun!
