It was disgusting, I sneezed every five to ten minutes for like an hour. I never want to do that again. Oddly enough I'm still alive so I'm sure you'll be alright.
Lol it's probably in my head. FTR the was no meds in it. Just high nitrites.

Kimlafeiet said:Hmmm.... First thing I would do is go buy a siphon with the squeeze ball to start suction automatically, or invest in one of those fancy python hoses. Lol
But honestly, probably wouldnt worry too much, Ive done it too (and then went immediately to the store nd bought a siphon with a squeeze ball starter) haha! Im still kickin pretty good.
