I'm having a hard time with getting dizzy and nauseated from the fumes generated by colorless lamp oil, especially when using my monkey's fists. The symptoms are the worst (of course) when the air is thick and windless. Saturday night was bad enough that I was a bit disoriented during spinning. I get a big headache afterwards and the next day the glands in my throat swell a bit.
Does anyone know how to lessen the chemical sensitivity to the oil? Any suggestions on an alternate fuel for a beginning spinner?
Thanks so much!

By having the Silverman spin for you, not only will he not be doing contact juggling, but it will mean you dont have to be near the fumes

My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
