I have a place in the mountains. Most time my allergies are fine. I take medicine every morning and all is well.
However, sometimes my allergies are uncontrollable. This weekend I spent a lot of time around the campfire and there was a lot of smoke coming towards me a lot of the time.
Can the smoke effect my allergies?
Thanks!
I have allergies to cats, dogs, and seasonal allergies.
I also have asthma.
Sure. It's another irritant to your breathing.
It can. BTW, what's the kind of your allergy?
Ye the smoke from wood fires would cause some problems with your breathing especially if one suffers from asthma, similar to smoking tobacco. Hay-fever is usually associated with pollen and dust mites. So Penny did you enjoy yourself out in the wildness and getting back to nature. Fun I say.
I think smoke can effect your allergies, as can trees, grass, pollen, blowing in the wind.
Yes-smoke can definitely affect your allergies. It is a big nasal and lung irritant. You may want to get an allergy mask to wear around the campfire so that you don't breathe in all that smoke.
Yes it can, smoke is an irritant to your throat, nose, sinuses, lungs, and body whether it is tobacco or smoke from a fire. When you are burning wood, the pollen, spores, pitch, ash etc are released from the wood into the air. As long as you don't try to sit in the smoke directly all the time and try to breathe it in, there should not be a major problem but being by a campfire can definitely congest you from time to time = )
