(your not supposed to spray cadmium cos it's pretty nasty stuff and if you look at the lables it always says "apply, do not spray")<BR/><BR/>He got really sick a few hours later with the same symptoms and was throwing up and stuff...pretty nasty. He went to the doctor...the doctor told him that he had "metal fume fever" (whatever that is!) and told him there wasn't anything he could do about it....it would just have to run it's course. <BR/><BR/>Hope your friend is okay!Michele Melcher Illustrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245260309369570310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611310.post-1132692788499937632005-11-22T15:53:00.000-05:002005-11-22T15:53:00.000-05:00Got that, folks?

In middle school science class one year we were to make candles out of crayons and put them in tuna-fish tins. <BR/><BR/>About halfway through the crayon smelting process, I started feeling sick, stomach doing backflips and a horrible headache. 20 minutes later I was found in the nurses office, SICK. AS. A. DOG.<BR/><BR/>I thought it was the fumes from the melting crayons, but it could have been the fumes from the tuna can being heated by the bunson burner.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully James feels better soon, if not, perhaps he should go to the doctor and get it checked out!Easyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332709046184597667noreply@blogger.com
