I've been camping many times, lungs never hurt. I've also lived in India for over a year where if you went for a 30-50 ride your boogers would turn black with soot. Lungs still wouldn't hurt. I dunno wtf is in that Haze but I don't see why it should be making people's lungs hurt from relatively short exposures.

When I was out walking I noticed people holding their chests as if their lungs hurt too. 'Luckily' I've got a powerful hepa filter for the home.

Stay inside, keep the doors closed and run the filter.

Been hearing about people's troubles breathing. You think this is from the airborne particulates from massive forest fires in Canada, or something else burning? Possible, just seeing the acres involved. That would flood the air with contaminates.

Oh, I'm sure it's safe and effective. Probably something as inert and harmless as dioxins: nothing to worry about. The EPA is all over this.

I grew up at a campground sitting around the fire every night for hours, additionally my parents used the fireplace to supplement heat during the winter.

Coming from a kid who was made fun of for smelling like smoke...I agree, this smoke is different.

Within ten minutes of leaving my hepa filtered job, my throat closed up, I started coughing and my eyes started swelling.

By the time I got home from work my resting heart rate was 120 (normally 65-70) and my throat ached. I'm running diy hepa filters at home. I've sealed all the windows and am wearing N95's when I leave the house.

Never in my life have I ever had that reaction to a fire before.

There is no reason for us to trust them that this is "safe".

Creosote, a known carcinogen.

The DS may have added other nasty shit to the fire to be hidden by the smoke. The fires are so hot, the creosote is carried up with the smoke, does not condensate out like the cooled smoke through a woodstove/chimney.

We've had the same shit many times in the last decade in Western Canada. So thick you couldn't see 100 ft and ashes falling. Sometimes like living in a war with helicopters and water bombers all day for weeks. Almost no one outside for days at a time it was so bad.

A post like this could really use some location information.

It's really just the volume of smoke. That's what's fucking your lungs up, there's so much burning going on up north. Probably just walking around today I smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes, I'm in southern New England. I had to help my father's neighbor with a tree guy to get a quote to save one of his beech trees that's dying and we were all coughing pretty badly once things were over.

Daily mail says it's "toxic nanoparticles"!

Stings the shit out of my eyes after about 5 minutes in it. I'm in Pennsylvania right now.

In the apartment complex across the way, SMOKE DETECTORS HAVE BEEN GOING OFF RANDOMLY ALL DAY.

I can't believe how little attention this is getting. This is fucking absurd. I've been around the world, and I've never seen smoke from a wildfire travel like this and shit up a neighboring region so much.

Anyone out on the west coast? Did this shit happen to you when all those wildfires were ripping through California?

It's a strange, brownish-gray haze that smells like burning wood. It's tolerable for a few minutes, but then it feels like you're breathing through a soked cloth or something. Then your eyes and nose start stinging. That's what it's been like around here for me and others.

People keep mentioning an arsonist? Anyone have a source on this? I firmly believe that this whole thing was manmade, either by the government glowniggers or by some diverse migrant monkeys.

Theory: This is going to be used to advance climate change bullshit. There's some kind of chemical in this smoke that will cause deaths and serious, chronic respiratory issues in people in the affected areas. They'll blame it on climate change, and then use the deaths/illnesses as a hammer to slam w/e bullshit climate change bill on the table through the congress. This doesn't even sound far-fetched after the nightmare that governments put us through with the pandemic hoax.

I used to live in Reno, NV. Cali used to fill our skies with smoke. I don't remember smoke alarms going off. It burned my eyes some and you could feel it after being out in it a bit but I don't think it was anything like you guys have been describing. When NV itself caught on fire it usually just smelled like someone threw sage on a campfire. Sunrises and sunsets were quite pretty, though.

What if your lungs have been damaged by the bioweapon that's been going around for three years?

Excellent insight, it's foolish to think the previous bioweapon had no long term effect on our respiratory systems.
