I started to get mine in when I was 15, just throw the jerky in the back of your mouth on your gum, and chew on it that way. I did some weird things. I use to chew on a pencil, I used a teething ring ( I know it’s weird, but it helped out) and Tylenol, and Ibprofen will become your best friend. As for the propane, and diesel, you’ll be fine. Were you trying to find a way to get high so the pain would stop?
