Is that you in the background?

The jackass guy took it better. My buddy snorted wasabi powder and was bleeding from his nose and freaking out because it was burning inside his head and he couldn't handle it. In desperation he grabbed a coke on the table (probably wanted the water but couldn't think straight) and tried snorting that to calm the burning. Blood, puke, and wasabi coke spray resulted. Not pretty.

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

That's hilarious you should get your friend to buy Zerodeefex's Alpha Primes.

I thought I was joking!

Ye gods, some people are stupid. Even getting a whiff of wasabi powder in the air is bad enough.

Once someone ordered some sushi for my uncle and he thought that the wasabi was guacamole...

Why is everyone hating on wasabi?

I use it to clean my sinuses during allergy season.

Works like a charm.

Thank-you all, a great collection of information. I am now convinced that what I experienced was an allergic reaction as I have recovered far too quickly. 48 hrs and it's as if it never happened. Never had anything like this before. Short but intense.

Sadly, this was before the days of youtube and cell phone cameras.

25 mg diphenhydramine hydrochloride (not 50 mg as then I feel the effect described by Thad E Ginathom)

It was major, like a black cloud dumped shit on me, and just from one dose. I wasn't quite getting the razor blades out, but I can understand how someone might do that. 

Thing is, that is not my mental profile at all. I have a tiny core that just sits out the bad times, and even clinical depression never made me feel like that.

For some people, this stuff might clear the nasal passages, but for some, it is evil!

And I don't hate wasabi: I like it. In small quantities, with sushi/sashimi, which I adore. The secret is getting it into the right orifice!

Glad to know you are better. I read somewhere recently that all this streaming-nose stuff is actually not directly caused by a cold virus, but by the body's immune system, just like it turns mosquito bites into itchy red swellings. Look, immune system, thatnks, but this stuff is not really that useful.
