Wierd thing happened to me yesterday. My wife put up some sort of strips to kill flys in our porch. Smell not too strong. I was in porch for about a minute and all of a sudden I could't breathe right.Had to get out and I was gasping for air. Almost collapsed.Got very weak and then got the chills. Laid down and took about 6 hrs to recover. This is first time anything like this has happened to me. Has any one ever experienced something like this?
