#asthma

With smoke from Canadian wildfires spilling deep into the United States, it seemed like a good time to write about another kind of smoke that often goes unnoticed: thirdhand smoke. I had been meaning to write this post for a long time since a visit to my moms in April. She smokes and each visit it’s gotten harder to stay in her house without starting a long fit of coughing that eventually causes…

I live in the midwest, smokey af but it's very very very bad / worse where the actual fires are in Canada. obviously. I read there are 180 in ontario burning and two are completely out of control.

im terrified for how anyone up in ontario and toronto are doing right now, if its this bad here... i can't even imagine how bad things are up in canada, ngl im terrified. i read that some had to evacuate the area with barely any notice...

This shit sucks.

The plus side, my kids at work now think my inhaler gives me super powers to become a super sneaky ninja (snuck up on a co-teacher at work), and I sound really awesome when I have to answer a question using my nebuliser (I have to use the mask). Like a midwestern Darth Vader.
