“My dad wasn’t convinced until he went jogging and returned 30 minutes later and felt sick. My mom had headaches and we both got a nasal condition that we still have problems with. My voice got hoarse and I couldn’t sing. My parents took me to doctors and they couldn’t explain it. It wasn’t until 10 months after the blowout that my voice felt normal and I could sing again.”
