Poisoned
Argh. I've been hit by MSG poisoning. Symptoms: feeling of constriction around the chest and soreness of the arm muscles, difficulty breathing, back of neck felt hot. Argh. Not comfortable, especially when I'm trying to drive safely at night! Argh, I hate driving at night, poor visibility, the feeling that I'm going to be hit from behind when I change lanes cos I failed to see someone, or someone switched suddenly into my lane. Do people drive worse at night? Feels like it. Anyway, blargh. I feel ambushed by this MSG thing, I've only had it so bad once before, when I ate assam steamed fish at a cze cha stall with my mum, we both got it, but I think she only felt the hot flush at the neck, whereas I got that constricted feeling like I'm having a heart attack or something (touch wood). If I remember from bio psychology, apparently MSG overdose causes that cos it mimics glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the body, causing neurons to fire wildly or something. Bleah. Yeah, the bad thing is that you never know which crazy stall uses tons of MSG. All I had was fish slice bee hoon soup, and I didn't even eat most of it cos of my sore gums. The soup must have been loaded with the white stuff. Sneaky!
