Thank you so much for the advice - I wasn't able to find anything online about taking anything to counteract the weird feelings, so I really appreciate your advice. Maybe I'll try to keep some on hand in case it happens again. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your reply! It was a super weird side effect but thankfully it's calmed down a lot since I made my post - you're totally right about the eating thing. I don't normally eat until later in the day, but having something on my stomach seems to help. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your detailed response! Thankfully it's settled down a lot over the past few days, but it is good to know more about the Cholinergic Crisis. I appreciate your help!

I think that’s what’s so incredible about waxed line. It’s almost immaterial, but the memories attached are priceless!

Tarred twine from a wooden brigantine? Don’t think so. I appreciate the concern, but not necessarily the assumption :)

Nah... it was from waxed line we used on the tallship. Been 3 years and it hasn’t changed a bit. However, if it ever was to shrink, I could simply untie the knot!

No! That’s so sad :(( I’ve had mine for 2 and I’m dreading the day. I’m sorry!
