I've had four really good days.

Then, today I went to Sam's Club. Someone was sampling this smelly stuff for joint pain, like an Icy Hot wannabe. She squirted some on my hand and I rubbed it on my neck and almost instantly my guts started cramping.

I haven't been doing real good anyway, so it may have nothing to do with it.

Has anyone else ever had something like this happen? From either that eucalyptusy tingle or because it smelled to high heaven?

One time I found a bottle of peppermint oil in my cabinet. I took a whiff. Nice! Got diarrhea. Well, okay weird. Was it the oil? Sniff. Diarrhea. So yes, but no problems with Icy Hot. That oil wasn't diluted or anything.

I have experienced many odours that give me gut response immediately, but never the urge to have bm or diarrhea. The one odour that i feel in my abdomen is diesel. Pain in the head first then in my abdomen within the first 15 seconds....i guess its a nausea response.

Tiger balm liquid makes me feel awful but i love the smell of the white and especially the red ointment. Go figure.
