Hello,
It seems that you've been inhaling too much burnt plastic fumes causing GI symptoms. Keep well hydrated. Open windows and doors to ventilate the house. Take a glass of cold milk at night as detox.
If you'll be breathing fresh air now on, there is nothing you should worry about. This means your body, your lungs have cleared off the burnt fumes.
If you ventilate the pantry, then, everything is ok.
All the best.
