Similarly I once walked unexpectedly in (an invisible) cloud of ammonia gas
caused by a leaky valve. Stings skin too. Stop breathing & run !! The guy
walking next to me was not chemical plant savvy and looked impressed after the
incident.
Ammonia solution is still used for first aid to wake up passed out people:

Had a similar experience with ammonia. Synthesizing a test sample of AP from
perchloric acid & conc aqueous ammonia. Mixed the 2 together and got the
subtlest whiff of the reaction. POW!... it was like a fist extending out from
the beaker.

I got a nose full of high-conc formic once. Kicks like a mule. I don't
remember the exact chemical reason for futzing with the stuff, only
that it was involved in the process of recovering gold metal from
plasma-spec carrier solution.
