Hi Daniel.

    I could be way off base here, but there were a couple of thoughts
    that hit me as I read your post. 

    The first was that there is some volatile chemical released when you
    operate the steamer or something in the vicinity that is being
    volatilized when you inadvertently expose it to the steam jet. 

    The next is weirder and involves disorienting visual stimuli. It is
    possible that what you can see through the steam appears somewhat
    distorted and in motion. Your brain knows that your body is not in
    motion but if the steam produces contradictory visual cues, dizziness
    and other motion sickness symptoms can result - visual vertigo. 

    I've experienced it strongly while walking through a forest where
    the breezes produced moving dappled light and while visiting the
    Seattle aquarium where sunlight passes through the moving water's
    surface into the observation areas below. 

    Hope this helps solve your mystery.
