Anyone ever get sick while trimming? The past few harvests I've got super bad head she's and even nausea while trimming. Not sure if its the pungent odor but its killing me. Anyone else have this happen?

This is more like im dizzy gonna hurl feeling.
im gonna go ahead and say this isnt related to the weed, as you dont have any of these effects from smoking right?
maybe the room you trim in? air quality? lighting? could be so many things, try trimming outside or in a room with good fresh air flow and see if it makes a diffrence, this is puzzling though.

do you not trim with a mask on? does this happen when you smoke it?

umm i fell like that, but more from been sat in the same position for hours after hours doing the same thing, but it could be the resin on youre fingers/hands if u not waring gloves entering through you're sweat glands, this could explain the difference in the effect from smoking. same theory like when thc is eating

good point with the gloves! that could be a big part of it going through your sweat glands...i would wear gloves and a mask next time see if it gets any better... and good air circulation would help

Thanks for all the replies. I actually do not smoke. I wear latex gloves while trimming. I am going to wear a mask from now on and get some better ventilation going.

We been manufacturing LED lights since 1995 and until the fall of 2016 we did not sell to the public. When developing our BIO-LED for the military, we found light waves via the supercharismatic nucleus affected the human body both positive and negative. With full spectrum grow lights, the light colour ratios are responsible for the sick feelings you are all experiencing. Realizing this phenomenon, we have implemented our own propriety design in our grow lamps that offset this when staff are harvesting the crop. Although we do not advertised our grow-lamp on our website, just contact me.
Get the duck out of here lmao.

It's good to not touch your eye's or nasal passages while trimming.

That sticky all over your hands is an irritant. It's meant to repel things that would consume it...

It'll make your eye's swell and itch - nose too....


EASY way to 100% remove the sticky from hands? Spray WD-40 on your hands and use a paper towel to wipe them off...get's under your nails and such too..

Then wash hands normally to remove the WD residue.......BOOM, NO STICKY!

One strain made me feel nauseous every time I trimmed it. I kept it for a year and it was always the same. Replaced the patient that loved it and ditched the variety. RKS was very potent, but puky strong smelling like, to me, deep cheese/rotten meat/garbage truck/dead skunk.

I use WD-40 also(water deterrent/#40th try) for my hands and finish with a dlimonene/coconut/pumice home made soap gifts.

Eating hot buttered popcorn is still the funnest way to clean my sticky fingers though.

if you have good quality and a lot of it the shit stinks it will make you feel like shit or good depends on what you like could make some people pass out or lower some peoples blood pressure . idk how much or how long your trimming but you can get 1 of these work well looks stupid but if your trimming for 4 or 24 60 hours you need 1 you will see a lot of commercial growers use masks https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-6022/Reusable-Respirators/3M-Paint-Project-Respirator-Large?pricode=WA8967&gadtype=pla&id=H-6022&gclid=Cj0KEQjwwoLHBRDD0beVheu3lt0BEiQAvU4CKjPMzF6BI8u8xzgy_Voeu28QPTEKLjHJ76Cl5RPhQqIaAm8p8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

When I trim my OGK harvests I get super light headed .....I think it's more from the pungent odor and sitting in the same position for so long ....gotta stretch your legs and get some fresh air every now and then .....the OGK I grow smells very pungent and good at first of course ....but after a bit it starts to have the same effect as cutting up an onion almost .....just not as severe ....over a several hour trimming sessions I have gotten nausea and light headed .....set yourself up outside with some music if possible .....gloves are a must on the hand holding the bud at least ....I don't like gloves on my trimming hand .....now I have to go trim ...(((fuck)))

I always get nauseous when trimming smelly buds for more than an hour or so. It's the pungent smell for extended periods of time. Also I've noticed a major factor is fresh cut bud smell. It makes the smell more nauseating for me at least
