I think my worst was opening a bottle of something called Dave’s Insanity Sauce IIRC. It was apparently pressurised and some sprayed into my eyes. Complete instant blindness 😯
Managed to stumble clutching wildly to walls etc up to the bathroom and lie upside down fully-clothed in the bath with the cold shower on my face. Some considerable period of time later I could just about manage to open my eyes and sight returned.
Possibly the most scared I’ve ever been thinking that I had permanently lost the use of my eyes 😳
On the chili front, I think I’ve become fairly immune to them after 5 years in India…
Cheers, Rich
