Hello friends,
I would like to share with you something weird that happened to me during my little 30 day break.
I got Bell's Pasly.
It is when one side of your face gets numb and saggy like you had a wisdom tooth pulled but it never comes back.
You drool on the side that is affected and have trouble even keeping you eye closed when sleeping.
Sometimes tears drip down your face uncontrollably.
It was like i had no control of anything on the left side of my face. Even the tongue had no taste on its left side.
Generally it is only temporary and I got mine on 6/29 and it went away on 7/10.
I still have a throbbing vein under my skull on the same side that is very painful, but it goes away temporarily with two Excedrin.
I feel lucky.
So, after isolating three things that could have caused it, I quit consuming all three.
Now here is the weird part.
I made a sausage potato skillet with poblano peppers in it and it started to come back.
It came back weakly for two days then went away again.
I think this particular batch of poblanos might have been sprayed with something toxic.
I have had them many times in the past with no issue.
To prove it, I took a teaspoon of them and sauteed them in a skillet and gobbled them up.
Sure enough, I could feel my face start to sag as before.
I still have the peppers in the freezer and am considering notifying whoever I need to about them.
As it only affected me, I am not sure what they could do. Three other people eat the same dish i cooked with no problems at all.
Thoughts?
