My throat is burning...

So last Friday there were lots of people over here for dinner. Me, Patrick, Ainsley, Mom, Dad, Jenn, Boston, Zach, Peggy and baby Lily. We were all eating dinner and watching the kids play when Boston started coughing. Then Ainsley started coughing and we all thought that she was just mimicking Boston. But then my mom started coughing and about that time I felt a little tickle in my throat. If was becoming kind of a joke because everyone was coughing. I got up and left the room and I started coughing, then Zach, Jenn, Peggy and Baby Lily were all coughing too. We couldn't figure out why we were all coughing until I realized that My throat was burning. About that time Zach said that his nose was burning. A few moment later, Patrick walks in the house from the garage and finds everyone inside coughing. Zach and I were still complaining of the burning when the culprit was revealed. Patrick started asking Peggy what was on her key chain. She casually replied " oh... that's mase". Apparently before Patrick walked out into the garage, he picked up a bottle of water off of the table and he accidentally knocked Peggy's car keys onto the floor. This allowed the mase canister to release some spray. Patrick said that he heard it make a little noise but he didn't know what it was so he just threw the keys back on the table. So while he was outside in the garage, we were all inside unknowingly breathing in mase. After we figured out what it was, we all decided to go outside and get some fresh air while the house aired out. Luckily, the mase didn't seem to cause any major problems for anyone and even the babies were okay. A slight burning sensation in my throat and some coughing was all I experienced, which isn't too bad considering we all got MASED.
