Oh my, the photos alone show that it would have been much unwise to keep going. Better safe than sorry, I would say.
And in my place, roasted corn is a sweet delight in seasons like this. It's often eaten with little pears or coconuts. Healthy and tasty.
True, better safe then sorry. The pears and coconuts is not the thing here. On the mountains the other thing famous here with corn is maggi noodles :-)
