real handy in situations like this. But if you get used to having sarin
gas ( capsiasine ) in the kitchen, you will find that you don't have to
cough, just try and ignore the small itch in your throat. ( If you can, it
is a great way to build your reputation as a crazy chef, frying away on
your habs, while ever walking, creeping and crawling thing evacuates the
premises. )
Earlier today, some CH friends and I _intentionally_ threw soaked hab
powder onto the sauna oven. ( This probably is another YKYACHI ) For the
first 2 minutes it sendt us out the door, mumbling something about a gas
chamber. But after a while we were all back in, and that stuff cleared our
sinuses in a way eucalyptus oil can never do. Also it helps building
resistance to 'the itch'.
