Afrin's a vasoconstrictor, so your eye will feel like it's squeezing into nothingness until it doesn't. Cuz veins and arteries don't like to be constricted, so eventually they choose not to be.

And yes, I know this for the same reason you do.

You are effing awesome.

So, do you just happen to know the poison control center's numberr? 'Cos I sure wouldn't want to be trying to look it up with Afrin in my eye.

We have it taped to the wall next to the phone, along with all the other emergency info for babysitters.

Wow--I'm now officially afraid to use nasal spray ever again.

Impressive job! I am glad to hear that you aren't blind though! That would be sadness, much sadness.

Poison Control has been completely made of awesome each of the times I have called them -- kind and competent and reassuring.

Too bad, you could have had a patch and been the most awesome and intimidating stage manager evar. "Arrrr, hold please!"
