Yesterday I worked on my daughters car replacing some wheel bearings. After I was done and cleaned up I got ready for bed. Had a rough go at it on the repairs so I lathered up my aching joints in BioFreeze and laid down.
Normally I’ll use a glove to administer analgesics like Biofreeze or Tiger Balm. I skipped that part and the washing of hands was missed too. So I’m laying here texting with the G/F and I’m getting sleepy. I reach up and the same hand that applied the cooling gel to my opposite arm then rubs both eyes.
‘HOLY SCHNIKES!’ My reaction was a bit subdued by the tears that were forming from the menthol burn searing my eyelids. It was a strange feeling, almost like my eyes were chewing 5 gum. Do they still make that stuff?
Anyway. First thing I do is tell the G/F what a freaking idiot I am. She must be asleep or dying laughing. I’m thinking about what do I need to do to get this stuff out of my eyes???
Flush with cool water.
Yeah ok, I know what my skin feels like when something cold hits where BioFreeze has been applied. No way! I end up messaging the G/F again, she ain’t answering, probably still laughing like I am.
TL:DR Rubbed eyes with BioFreeze residue on my fingers/hands. The menthol cooling effect was kinda weird, 10/10 don’t recommend!
