Is chipper dust something we should be worried about.

Definitly try some anti allergy aswell, avoid the drowsy type ones they can make you feel worse.

 

Cheers matey I give them a go. I know the Mrs has got a few types for my youngest daughter

No problem the one that works best for me is the benadryll syrup aged 6 and up, seems to be differnt from person to person though. Hopefully it helps you out

Sorry I derailed the thread a bit. As far as working around the chipper I find chipping Connie on a hot day to be the worst for me. I've definitely got a cough at the end of the day and my eyes are a mess. Just done 2 days on connies, and they are raw

A bit different from chipping but pulling ivy off walls is never my favorite dusty job. That and anything to do with London planes in the summer. Sounds like a nasty do that one RichieR.

Yep Mesterh it's not been that pleasant and ditto with ivy. Thankfully we don't have much to do with London Planes

Yes ivy is bad, and I believe all dead wood is full of nasty stuff.

Generally wear a P3 mask when cutting and the dust is flying, but the other day I took over the chipper for couple of hours when clearing some half dead conifers, and somehow we were out of masks.

Upon waking the next morning, I was not surprisingly coughing up all kinds of gunge.
