RE: When @walkerland Discovers She is Allergic To Woodsmoke.

in #homesteading6 years ago

Oh noooo. I never thought if this but with all my allergies I probably would be, too! It might depend on the type of wood; have you ever been allergy tested so you know what trees you're allergic to? Also, I have bought a "java log" - a wood fireplace log like a duraflame but instead of who knows what, it's made if coffee! Maybe you could try those?

Wood and heat is worth considering forsure if you have allergies! I am an allergic person and probably I should have foreseen this. Allergies and intolerances seem to change over time but I know the signs immediately. We've got 5 cords of wood and don't really see those kinds of alternatives in our future but I think that is really cool - logs made of coffee!

I too was thinking along the lines of the type of wood or if there was any mold or anything like that on the wood or inside the stove itself. What a shame! I feel really bad that this happened to you.

@mtnmeadowmomma this is the story of my life I'm afraid .. I was dolled out the wrong pair of lungs when I was born.
