Is chipper dust something we should be worried about.

Although only a short chip up of some storm damaged willow from last week, this job became a bit of a nightmare as in the interim a near by Poplar spouted out its annual fluff and settled in to the stacked willow.

 

My bad for not having masks at hand in the Landy, so we had to suffer a mini coughathon.

We had two Oaks to deal with a few weeks ago . One which had a lot of dead growth and had caught fire and the second Oak had the top 25 foot dead. James did the the fire damaged one and I did the other. We both were throwing up while up the tree after chocking on the dust. Weeks later and we still ain't right. Headaches, pain in the arms, throat really saw and feel absolutely knackered all the time

Thats interesting David, we had some Black Pops, they were on a road called "Cotton Tree Lane", presumably because of of the cotton like seed. But I can only recall a few years in my 47 years of living in this area where they set seed.

That sounds severe definitly see a doctor like Steve said, but if you havent already take some anti allergy tablets they could help with the headaches and tiredness.
