i love you coelho. i had been seriously freaking out (i think i am a hypochondriac). maybe this means my breathing difficulties the last few days have been entirely psycho-somatic. I spent hours and hours reading about all different kinds of metal-fume poisoning haha.

is the aluminum foil just really convenient for you (i am wondering why you don't just use a spoon or hot knife etc to be extra cautious)??

I was really surprised that the mods did not remove the part in the original post instructing people to use aluminum foil and a bic pen.
