I am going to tell on YOU!
sonofone:
Well I encourage you to write often,as you definitely have been given a gift. I enjoy reading your post and I am sure most do as well. I believe the bible says to give honor where honor is due. So I'm just recognizing what appears to me to be a beautiful gift.God Bless
Deborah-Leigh:
I agree sonofone, it is certainly a most beautiful gift and experience for me especially, from our most beautiful Creator Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith. :)
Thank you for your kind words.
Peace be to you

Dear Deborah,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I'm sure it was difficult, but I also noted that truth is stranger than fiction regardless of good motives of someone wanting to explain how God works with us. Your experience was just too real to be doubted for even a second. I could almost feel the pain in myself.
I will pray for your relief from pain and thank God for your husband. What a blessing he is.
Love and hugs, Bob
Deborah-Leigh:
Dear Bob
Thank you for your response. In deed, I believe no one could have wanted a more loving and attentive person to be at their side through such pain as my husband was. He too has suffered much pain not from the eye condition that I was briefly but intensely suffering, but the loss of a son who died in his infancy many years ago. We now have a lovely son named Byron who turns eleven this Jan.
I notice you have, is it recently, had a birthday perhaps? If so, happy birthday my dear friend and brother.
The eye pain did return again two nights ago. This time I took the medication before it reached the raging heights of agony that I wrote about earlier. I also noticed that remembering that Jesus had suffered FAR worse, and has overcome, seemed to sooth my soul :) Perhaps I have learnt my lesson and been corrected by Gods consuming fire for my erroneous earlier thoughts and assumptions that place me on a pedestal ::)
My staff also experienced some eye pain and now we think it is the vinegar that has been the trigger.
I notice you have Chemical expertise, and perhaps you might see or know that the fumes of potent concentrated vinegar could be the reason why our eyes have been upset. Like onions I guess!
Anyway, happily all is now well this morning and there is no pain. What a blessing!
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

Dear Deborah,
I'm not sure that I have any helpful advice about your reaction to vinegar but you can access the following site for details of the effects of concentrated acetic acid.
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0002.html
Household vinegar is a product of alcohol fermentation and is usually diluted with pure water to a concentration of 5% acetic acid and 95% water. Even that concentration could be hazardous to your eyes, but usually not unless it is splashed directly into the face. The eyes, throat, lungs and teeth are target organs for injury.
The vinegar you are using in food preparation may be more concentrated.
Acetic acid may be purchased for commercial use at concentrations of 99%, but you should check the label of your containers to determine the concentrations of the product you are using.
In case of exposure, flushing the eyes with tepid (35 degrees C.) water for up to 15 minutes is recommended.
In case of injury, avoid the possibility of re-exposure for several weeks.
