Well, this is very interesting! I've had those very same symptoms many
times. I'll have to see if I can find a correlation between the times I've
had this happen, and Tesla coil runs. Sheesh, I always thought it was from
too much beer and not enough water ;)
Hmmm...since I never drink and coil at the same time...? Maybe first
coiling, then beer? ;)
I'll have to see.
Thank for the info!
