Be wary of the wooden pipes.

Just back on Sunday.....I always get a wooden pipe.On day #3 the inside of my lower lip is raw and my tongue swollen.I thought I ate some bad food,but it was the pipe. I stopped and it got better. The carver said that it was soft wood. I noticed the locals do "not" use pipes. Never happen to me before????

could be what it was treated with after it was carved. usually some kind of oil would be rubbed into it.
