Cuban Tobacco Tragedy
I saw a nice deal to get Cuban tobacco snus. Had to buy three rolls for the deal to be a bargain, but so what? It’s not expensive that way and I would enjoy special brand that much longer.
I invested... more than I would reveal to my wife
I also got ill. Two of my kids got ill, too, so no big deal, it's winter season after all. Had to cancel work (interpreters with failing/hoarse/nonexistent voice are not welcome by any listening crowd...), used antibiotics-calcium-Panthenol-honey-garlic-lemon, got better, everything fine. Kids started going to school again.
But then, just days before another work event (I only do this type of work a few days a month, if there was more, I would be rich) I got ill again. Lost my voice again! Also got terribly running nose, sore throat, everything. Started thinking about possible allergic reaction, as I do have a classic hayfever in summer and this seemed to be too harsh to be a happenstance. Started looking back: what changed in my immediate environment when I got ill first time and now the second. We had some repairs done, there was dust, then a new carpet which might include some nasty Chinese chemicals, but all that was weeks before the first illness, no new things shortly before the second or even first onset, food should be OK... Wait a minute... Food, mouth...
HELL!
Both times I opened Romeo y Julieta can! In the meantime I had Montecristo (and my voice to some extend). I immediately changed to purified Northerner 3 mg, and it seems my "illness" is subsiding quickly, and by quickly I mean by hours, not days.
So now I have a roll (or maybe three and a half, I am not sure about Montecristo) of the best tobacco snus which will probably make me mute every time I use it. I will try it again after the interpreting job, just to see what happens. And then I will have to fight not to surrender to anger and kill somebody for this treachery... probably myself
