The dangers of gum

[einhander]

So I went to meet a fellow E30 enthusiast Saturday to sell my LS-B Recaro seats and borrowed my girl's truck to transport the seats. Well that was all good and fine but when I got in the truck I helped myself to some gum that was buried in the center console. I started with two pieces but since it seemed kind of "stale" I upped the anty and popped in another two pieces. I was chomping away on that gum for about 20 minutes and all was fine until l left the parking lot after completing the sale, when all of a sudden I started feeling pretty weird and headed home about 10 minutes away. Once on the highway I started to feel worse with increasing nausea, dizziness, headache, and who knows what else. At this point I started to apply my genius analytic mind and thought "hey could that have been nicotine gum"? Now, I don't smoke or chew and so this stuff was kicking my ass to the point of getting so messed up that I puked while driving (luckily there was an empty water bottle to use to contain most of it). I was now in a race to get home asap. I barely made it into the driveway ran in the house and essentially passed out for 3 hours. The after affects of niotine overdose were with me all the next day. Now that some time has passed I can somewhat laugh at the ridiculousness of it.

Lesson learned. Don't f... with the wrong gum.

I hate you.

I almost puked after my first cigarette, then I passed out into the bed. I can see how nicotine gum could do that to a person with no tolerance for it.

The truth is the effects hit fast and hit me while in the left lane of the highway and I wasnt sure what was going on but knew I needed to get home fast. i suppose I could have pulled to the side but wasnt sure what was next and didnt need the police to show up. I might have been charged with "impaired operation" or have an ambulance called so I opted to get the hell home and hope for the best.

Yikes. I've always wondered about this when I see the nicotine gum commercials. Why, uh, why didn't you stop to throw up though?
