This is probably a stupid question but, these are a bad idea for the nose right? The smoke and ensuing dust? Or are they ok? > This is probably a stupid question but, these are a bad idea for the > nose right? The smoke and ensuing dust? Or are they ok? I think it depends upon whether you have a fireplace. ;-D Actually, I've read it's a bad idea, but I enjoy having fires all winter, and as long as the chimney is clean and the upward drafting is strong, it doesn't bother me at all. Susan Yeah...just was wondering if the fact I've been lighting the fire recently could have something to do with my symptoms having worsened so much in the last week or two... Oh yes and...a fireplace??? What's that??? : ) > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Susan > Yeah...just was wondering if the fact I've been lighting the fire > recently could have something to do with my symptoms having worsened so > much in the last week or two... If you smell smoke in your house when you light a fire, it could well be. With a clean chimney and strong draft, I don't. > Oh yes and...a fireplace??? What's that??? : ) If you don't have one, you don't have to worry about it, since you'll only be able to have one fire. ;-) Susan On 12/3/06 7:38 AM, in article 4tg9b2F13hqlpU1@mid.individual.net, "Susan" <nevermind@nomail.com> wrote: > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Susan It is felt that one reason for the very high incidence of Sinusitis in Alaska is the open wood fire.

We don't live in Alaska, but it gets cold down here in Texas, too. Fortunately, I prefer living indoors. ;-) Rick > Ah, geez, I'm doomed then.

Fortunately, I prefer living > indoors. ;-) I don't have bad reactions or stuffiness in response to natural scents, but cheap chemically scented potpourri gives me congestion and a headache. I don't even have a clue what a "scent bar" is. Susan > This is probably a stupid question but, these are a bad idea for the > nose right? The smoke and ensuing dust? Or are they ok? Wood stoves stop me up. AW |
