Pic is of used canola oil, hence the color. It's upside down... Fuck it.

Has anyone else experienced a burning feeling in your eyes when using a deep fryer? And I don't mean that oil actually splashed into your eyes.
I'm trying to figure out if it's because I used canola oil. The only other oil I've used was peanut oil, but that was when I kept my fryer in the basement. No burning sensation then.

It's the oil. Canola oil is just a fancy kind of rapeseed oil. Rapeseed oil contains Eucric acid. The name "Canola" is an acronym for CANadian Oil Low Acid". It has less Eucric acid than normal rapeseed oil does, but it still contains some.

Use a different oil and this problem will go away.

Canola oil has a medium-high smoke point. It's not suitable for very high heat, as would be the case in a deep fryer.
