Yah no kidding. Who would have thought that making popcorn was more dangerous than sticking your face up to a glass furnace?
One non-hazardous condition some glassblowers get is Gillespie’s Pouches. That’s big, puffed-out cheeks. Some twenty years ago, a medical researcher noticed that jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie had cheeks like a glassblower. He asked Diz if he could study his face in the lab. Gillespie said he’d do it if the condition would be named after him. Now you know.
