[CH] OOPS..... :-)

Oops.....
Ok, so...I'm cooking up some chicken. Before starting the chicken,
I season up the skillet by sauteeing (sp?) some chopped red onion,
mushroom, a small bit of rosemary from the garden (one of two
non-chilli items out there), a minced clove of fresh garlic, etc.,
and as I'm walking by them, I notice some fresh cayenne I picked
yesterday (I *LOVE* the flavor of fresh cayenne)....
Anyways, I know better than to do this (anyone NOT know where I'm
headed at this point?)...but I wasn't thinking, and chopped up the
cayenne and dropped 'em straight into a very hot skillet. About
30 minutes later, my lungs started working again. As the owner of
a local Indian establishment said to me a few months ago (regarding
the heat level we both like our curry/vindaloo at), "We're not happy
unless the cook is coughing...." Well tonight, I was the cook, and
I was definitely coughing. And after all that, I ate a few bites of
chicken and some of the corn, and I had to put the rest in the fridge
for another meal or two (or three---this is one BIG chicken breast).
So, here's the question: does anyone know where (in the US) one
can find a charcoal-filtered gas mask or something similar for
times when I do things like that that I know better than to do,
but for some reason end up doing anyways?
Another question.... What is it about heat + cap. that causes it
to launch a wave of pain directly at your lungs like that?
Later,
