Sodium Metabisulphite inhalation

[hypnoticmonkey]

So...

Opened a pot of SodMet and a cloud puffed up just as I happened to be breathing in. Was NOT pleasant.

Have rinsed mouth out with water, laid back on the grass, poured water up my nose and then blown my nose about 3 times to try and flush it out.

I probably should be okay, right?

Feel a bit jittery, but that's probably just adrenaline!

It looks like you should live. This MSDS suggests its just an irritant.

As long as you don't have asthma you will be fine. But if you did you would know about it by now. :lol:

Nope, no asthma! Only health condition I have is a minor heart complaint, which hasn't caused me any jip for about 2 years, so I should be fine!

Thanks, guys! I'll be more careful next time...

Wouldn't look good turning up a A&E with white powder around your nose. :whistle:

It's great if you have a blocked nose, clears it out a treat :lol:
