Once when I was getting surgery on part of my back, I started feeling light
headed (I don't handle surgery or needles or anything like that very well).
I told the nurse and she put something under my nose and told me to breathe
in hard. I didn't get a very good look at it but it was the size and shape
of a tootsie roll. Anyway, when I breathed in it burned my throat and made
me cough really hard, but I immediately felt *way* better. I don't know if
that was smelling salts or not.
It happened again during the same surgery, and even though I knew how
unpleasant it was I breathed in really hard because of how well it had
worked the first time.
Actually, I'm wondering if it's commonly available or if it has negative
side effects.
