smoke..and my asthma.
my asthma normally barely a blip on my radar. i might cough a bit when i am exerting myself..like hiking up a mountain side to sneak up on a deer or elk. officially that is the WORST time ever to cough. a human cough carries for miles.
 mountain biking.. coughing is a possibility. now with all this smoke, i am almost wheezy at times. sleeping i will cough myself awake. i don't get the Hollywood asthma attack ever..i don't even know if that is a real thing. my luxurious sleep pattern is affected. this smoke is too much..it sucks. i loaded up my kayak to fish the Russian river today after a 10am meeting..but i might pull the plug. the smoke is getting worse as i head west. the river is west of me now. i carry my emergency inhaler, and i am now following my maintenance dose of the "other stuff".

I don't have asthma problems but I can say the smoke is starting to bother me. I can taste it 24/7 and my nose & throat are getting sore. I started using the netty-pot day and night and that is helping clear me out. This morning I have a slight headache and I never get those so I'm attributing it to the smoke.
Ash has been coming in thru our vents at work and everyone's desks are constantly dusty; I can imaging that that is how my lungs are looking too. I've been wearing a mask while driving (for the smoke, not the virus), I may switch to N95 since I have a few of those. |

Unless maybe you were to combine the two, strong case of the squirts while hiking up a mountain to sneak up on a critter. That would probably be the worst.

That sucks for you guys, and especially if you've got breathing problems already.

Wear the best masks you can. The range of stuff in wildfires, forest fires is not for the faint of heart:
https://www.timetocleanse.com/detox-naturally-from-wildfire-smoke/ We I was flying commercial UAS, we worked with a firm in Petaluma and flew into smoke plumes with chemical sensors. Scary stuff...HAZMAT level stuff. Mask up, detox when you can.

Except avoid the smoke as much as possible. It's less than a mile visibility up in the Seattle region and my N95's... I can still smell the smoke.. (not good) Indoors I have the furnace fan running on summer mode, just to filter the indoor air as much as possible.

My wife doesn't want me to go autocrossing because of all these unhealthy air quality... even if I had an N95. I'm going. But I bet if I start coughing I will not hear the end of it.
