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.
