Volunteer corn is corn stalks that have spouted from hybridized corn kernels harvested in the prior growing season that have sprouted and are growing.
Unless farmers kill off this corn it could cause crop failure in future corn plantings or so I think. I just know all this hybrid and genetically changed corn can cause all sorts of issues with future crops and especially to the organic farmer.
At any rate, I have multiple chemical sensitivities and herbicides/pesticides is one of the worst for me. I've had to take steroid pills to prevent pneumonia, shock reactions and my first high blood pressure reading came after a herbicide exposure.
Last evening the air had a chemical odor, I could feel the symptoms right away so I closed windows and turned on air conditioners. Tingling on my lips and fingers, burning eyes, and dozens of other symptoms. My throat felt full, my voice got all hoarse so swelling was starting. So I called the sheriff's department and out came several people in trucks. Since this is a heavy farming community and my neighbor is a volunteer fireman, I knew they were aware of something. My neighbor told my husband that earlier in the day a farmer sprayed the field to the west of my home directly across the road. Winds were blowing from the north. When the sun went down they switched and were blowing from the west toward my house. So I knew what was going on and need to find out what the name of the chemical product that was used.
Today I have had no energy, all my muscles are hurting, I have a splitting headache, no appetite and slept with terrible dreams till around 3pm. I had to get some things done so I pushed and got myself up and moving.
I know others have this problem, what symptoms do you have, what should I do when this happens?

Mine mostly comes from having to work with insensitive people that wear fragrance in the office.
I sure hope that you start to feel better soon, you may want to wear a mask if you have to be outside.
Sending gentle hugs and prayers
