Does exposure to "frying fumes"aggravate skin wounds/conditions?

In the rain-forests of Burma where I grew up,they have a specific term for exposure to 'frying fumes' (ahnyaw).And,persons sufferring from open sores avoid it like plague.As the kitchens,atleast during my childhood,were rather primitive(wood-burning stoves,poor/no ventilation) frying any food would fill the house with smell/fumes.And,the elders would tell the sufferrers-- -if any--- to leave the house so as to avoid the fumes.Superstition it was NOT:the veracity of the observation could be replicated any number of times.


This is linked to my earlier Question :why do we feel extreme discomfort seeing/hearing a glass-sheet being scratched with finger nails?The Burmese have a name for this feeling too:"twa kyin". Can one conclude that the English language lacks certain specific concepts!Hence the absence of words to define these ??concepts?

These conditions alter your own temperature, and damage your lungs and skin.


At least do something relaxing after this hard activity and try to clean your body doing sport.


About your nails, you need special attention by a doctor.


take care.
Reply:yup a the engles only have one word for snow, when there are several different qualities of snow, at least 21. so the answer is yes, yet we have lotsa words about making money.
