You seemed to have missed the part where the same comment called the OP's concerns "unhelpful paranoia" after the OP's doctor said that the pain they're experiencing is due to chemical burns.

So instead of armchairing the chemical composition of smoke, how about we just not call other people's concerns paranoid, and not excuse others doing so?

This forum's guidelines call for civil discussion, and the OP also commented in this thread. Paranoia is not a word that belongs here.

Because the burning is in the hands and arms not the nose, larynx or lungs...

This isn't even a sentence, much less a coherent thought.

The OP inhaled smoke from a burning device that caused chemical burns on his arms. The smoke from burning electronics is hazardous. OP's concerns are justified, and calling him "paranoid", "hypochondriac", etc. is insulting, and against the rules of this forum (on which the OP is commenting as well).

That is assuming it is from the burning materials, but OP said it happened when he was peeling off the earcups that he noticed it being sticky etc.(so it could be the plastic mixing with chemicals?) And we do not know how many ppm of toxic materials were in the fumes he inhaled or his wife inhaled.
