Early ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sox, there is always someone who's done something stupid.
We published a letter once about a woman who kept spraying her entire (unclothed) body with Raid because it felt like bugs were crawling on her. She did this many times a day, over a week or so. There was some central nervous system toxicity.
So, yeah -- there is always someone who's done something stupid.
He's offered to find the camera.
FILM IT.
Was the toxicity from the Raid or this was prior to the Raid?
The toxicity was from the Raid. I think (but I can't remember, because we published it back in the late 90s) that she may have also wrapped her arms and legs with plastic wrap after the Raid, because she didn't want it to rub off, so she really helped the absorption of Raid into her system.
I can't remember if she had mental disabilities or not; I feel like she did, and the Raid thing made sense to her and no one was apparently monitoring her to realize what she was doing.
Maybe she had Morgellons
My best guess is b/c it's formulated with citric acid, so you want to flush it out well. Which you did.
And, if your skin around the eyes is anything like mine, could be some swelling and ugh from the irritation. Cool compresses are once again your friend though.
poor woman. man.
Maybe she had Morgellons
I find the whole Morgellons thing kind of compelling and disturbing because I can't imagine what it takes to convince yourself that your body is producing plastic threads.
Update - sleep helps. Eye is totally irritated, but did not in fact burst into flames.
Even so, I can't tell you how tempting it was to get up early and leave a human-shaped pile of blue confetti on the bed for DH to find.
I feel so terrible for the Raid woman. Now I need to look up Morgellons.
I'm so glad Teppy is around to calm us down from all of our medicine fears. I'm terrified of every new pill I take, so I am especially glad you're there, Teppy.
Speaking of knowledgeable Buffistas, I wish I could show all my paint samples here so everyone could help me choose. I doubt they would scan properly, but my meatspace people are not helping.
