Received my nic River order today, promptly flooded my left nostril with fa strawberry. How long till I can smell again?
submitted almost 8 years ago by Cocky1976

Ok, I'm a fucking idiot. In my excitement to smell all my new flavors I accidentally shot a stream of fa strawberry directly up my nose.

Apparently instead of a gentle squeeze I gave it a chicken choking death grasp and squirted quite a stream up my nose, much to my son's delight I might add. I promptly ran to the kitchen to grab a napkin and blew the offending goo from my nose. Didn't really help as it had literally gone halfway to my brain. I lavaged it out with warm tap water, all the while enduring the laughter of my loving family.

I believe I got it all out through my blow, snort water, blow again technique. However I can't smell a god-damned thing through my left nostril. Barring any unforeseen sinus infection or brain sucking amoeba how long will my olfactory impairment endure? I got a bunch of new flavors and can't smell/ taste anything.

since you got vapors nose you have to rinse it with TPA Menthol, obviously

holy fuck that's funny man.

I literally have nothing of value to contribute other than to tell you I giggled like a son of a bitch at this visual imagery and I thank you for expediting my afternoon at work with this tale.

Glad it brightened your day. Apparently my family thought me sneezing like a pitbull in a pepper factory was absolutely hilarious as well.

Neti pot?

by dingosaurusalmost 8 years ago

This is a clever idea. The salt from the neti pot may assist in clearing the sinuses properly.

I don't own a netipot, that's why I was snorting the water. Ghetto netipot, cup hands, insert nose, sniff in but not too deep lol.

Be so god damned careful with that, if tap water gets into your sinus you may not clear it all and you can get a serious infection or parasites. Never use tap water unless it's been boiled first in a netti or otherwise.

So all is better now, just some minor irritation in the juice hole now. It took about an hour and a half to be back to normal if anyone else needs this information lol.

Strangely enough after my sense of smell returned I could taste the strawberry in my juice much better. Not sure if it's from having dulled senses for that long or if there's residual strawberry lingering in my frontal lobe lol. Also it was straight concentrated flavoring, not mixed with anything. So no nicotine poisoning. Oddly my wife asked me if it was nicotine I was trying to smell too. I was like why would I be smelling nicotine?

Jew no what mang, after my wife laughing so maniacally, she won't be saying hello to my lil friend any time soon.

Great movie though. I can't believe they wanna remake it. Probably cast Tom Hardy and call it " Scarface, the lawless American gangster legend who was a pretty goodfella"

I didn't know there was a remake. Says it comes out August 2018.

Dont worry, your other senses will make up for it eventually.

OMG I laughed HARD! Sorry about your mishap. Netipot is probably the best remedy.

I feel like you'll never really know when it's back to normal. You'll just adjust to smelling everything with a tinge of 🍓

Ha ha ha. Think just about everyone has done this at one time or another. At least it wasn't something disgusting

That's some funny shit right there, I don't care who you are.

Glad you got it worked out, but I was just imagining how my family would be cracking up just like yours was.

Reminds me of the time I handed my wife's ex a bottle to smell and then watched him proceed to stick the tip right up his nose to smell it. That one went right in the trash.

At least it wasn't fa pineapple

That's actually one of the other ones I bought, I was going to smell that one after I checked out the strawberry. Is it harsh or what?

My bad, it's tfa. I'm guessing that's better than fa since it's used in so many recipes?

Try snorting coffee?

Edit: This wasn't a joke - before bedtime try performing a nasal lavage with warm black coffee followed by a thorough saline flush afterwards. You should be able to start smelling things again fairly soon after that.

It's too late for you now. Just pick up some FA watermelon and fuji then put a strap on up your nose.

1 points
 
by Cocky1976almost 8 years ago

Don't have fa watermelon or Fuji. I'll sub with RF SC soufle and fa salted caramel, should work fine at around 8% each.

by Jigsaw314almost 8 years ago

I wish FA made a Salted Caramel!

by Cocky1976almost 8 years ago

It might be better than the flavor west that I was mistakenly calling FA. All that red touch must have interfered with my limited cognitive function, either that or I'm just getting old lol.

INW Cactus is the answer but I'm not sure what % or how you should administer it

Would probably help add some moisture to my dry sinuses. Maybe 10%?

Shove the rest of the mix up your nostrils?.

Other than that, try to irritate your nostrils, make yourself sneeze by using smelling salts or even pepper..

As long as you smell smell strawberries 🍓 I believe your smell will be back in no time

Was it just the concentrated flavor or was there nicotine in there as well? It it's just the concentrate I would also recommend the neti pot but make sure that you start in the nostril that was NOT AFFECTED and rinse towards the affacted one. This way you aren't rinsing strawberry juice into your sinuses. I would recommend rinsing for 20 minutes. If you have any trouble breathing or notice swelling I would call your doc immediately. Otherwise after the rinse I would expect your olfactory senses to be back to normal shortly after. If not contact your Dr.

Thanks, I didn't think about it getting into my sinuses as it shot pretty damn far up already. I had a sinus headache for about an hour and a half after. It's better now although my nostril and septum are still raw.

Snort ground nutmeg mixed with black pepper, it converts the now overly numerous sweet neurons back into savory ones, thereby balancing out your brains smell juice.
