tfw you work with ammonia and stuff and start feeling weird but you aren't sure if it's all in your head or not

@brad I've exposed myself to houshold concentrations of ammonia thinking people were making too big a deal out of it. The headache lasted for a couple days IIRC. I'm not doing that again without a fume hood.

@swiley Oh wow, that sucks! I hope I don't experience anything like that.

I mixed some with white vinegar, baking soda, and water based on an online recipe for use cleaning a moldy shower. I have some wipes with ammonia in them, but wanted something I could spray and let sit a while before wiping stuff down this time.
I definitely was feeling a weird discomfort after spraying it a bit, but I think it went away.
I went and stuck my head outside afterward and took a few deep breaths just in case.

@brad Mixing vinegar with ammonia sounds odd to me. You'd probably just get ammonium acetate (?) which probably has a pretty neutral PH.
