So he can correct me if so.
Basically, he was in one of the orgo-labs in undergrad. One of the labs involved distilling cinnamon oil. His vial of pure cinnamoniness broke, or he spilled it, or something ... essentially, he got it all over himself. He was stuck smelling it for weeks afterward. He, to this day (unless things have changed), dislikes cinnamon.

Oh, I remember that lab experiment (from when I had that class myself). Of all the chemicals that can spill on you in orgo lab, that's probably one of the most pleasant though.

You're 85% correct...
It was the actual DISTILLING APPARATUS [i.e., buchner funnel, glass coil cooling thingy, collection tube, etc.] that I managed to detonate all over me. Practically doused myself in acetone to get most of the shit off, but yeah - couldn't smell anything BUT cinnamaldehyde for WEEKS.
I STILL blame the Redhead. (sigh) She distracted me by existing. Made it worse by saying "Hi" and smiling at me. Downhill from there.
