Sudafed Inhalant Oil - palpitations

Really odd, I assumed this stuff would be just the same as Olbas Oil (Tesco had sold out, so had to get this instead), but *something* in it has a very odd effect on me that *doesn't* happen when I inhale Olbas vapour - when I take a big lungfull after about 4 or 5 seconds my heart starts to race, only for a very short period of time (less than 10 seconds)...but it is a bit peculiar...

I wonder if this is a known side effect (and I should just ignore it) or if I should discontinue use?

Eaten Alive...

Sometime yesterday in London I was bitten by a nasty insect...it might have been on the train on the way home, as that was where I noticed the first one (on my left leg) when I woke up this morning I found several more, all about the size of a ten pence piece and really sore and itchy, I also (I'm sure unrelated) had an angry sore throat and a blocked up nose (and I've been sitting here sneezing all day, getting less and less "Bless you"'s as the repetition starts to grate)...

So - hot and sticky and itchy and bunged up all rolled into one...wonderful...and the best thing to photograph on the way in was a cement mixer...no wonder I'm feeling grumpy... :(
