Medical (general) / disturbi fumo
English term or phrase: block our breathing
When we went inside the smoke, straight away we wanted to block our breathing.
We start coughing, and our eyes was -- it was really difficult to open our eyes.
Something like burning, and otherwise was cut off, we couldn't speak.
Also, I feel sick, and I wanted to vomiting like that.
But it was difficult to breathe.

Il testo è tratto dalla deposizione di una sopravvissuta a un incendio in un palazzo e riguarda il momento in cui tentò con il figlio di scendere le scale già piene di fumo. Premetto che la signora non è di madrelingua inglese.
