What are the products of frying cayenne pepper?
One week ago, I was doing this recipe for the fifth time:

One fries garlic and chili flakes / Cayenne pepper with olive oil on the pan before putting the tomatoes and the tuna.
I was about to put the tuna when I started coughing as heck... Opened the windows, drank water and continued the recipe. I thought for myself "silly me, I may have inhaled strongly being close "
But it turned out everybody in the department above me ended up coughing and leaving the building. Father arrived minutes after that and starts coughing just when opened the door, surprised to see me cooking as if nothing happened.
It seems this brand of pepper was more concentrated and was void sealed... the other ones I used before never had this effect, the pasta ended up much more spicy than other times as well.
What did I inhale?
