Speed glue, table tennis and laryngeal edema

For those who don’t know me, I am an avid table tennis player. So this story caught my eye.

Players often use speed glue to glue their rubber to their paddle, resulting in more elasticity, increasing the speed and the spin. The problem is that the effect wears off after a few hours, so companies have been trying to manufacture longer-lasting speed glue. Unfortunately, the fumes can be toxic – and in this case led to laryngeal edema.
