Am currently going through an irritant-triggered flare of allergic asthma and upper-airway inflammation rhinitis.
Everything is currently setting me off, neighbourhood woodfires, fragrances of any ki...
@nprofile1q...
Yikes! So sorry to hear you're going through this right now
Was reminded about the problem of woodfire smoke last night, having forgotten that it was a thing at other house over winter...
Can concur that a lot of things can be weirdly irritating, e.g.:
* My colleague's perfume is strong enough that I have had coughing fits in recent weeks when in close proximity
* The fumes from the wastewater plant issues in Chch also give me severe grief. A few years ago a few months after the fire, I had one rather bad evening after being outside for <5 minutes unloading groceries only. That was enough for hours of decent flareup that night! (And hence, why I then avoided going outside if/when I ever smelt that smell outside... between that and omicron exploding everywhere during those 6-9 months is why I admittedly barely left the house for over half a year that year! Both inside AND outside air were bad!)
