Guest joshdonlan Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Hi guys , you need to get a mask that filters out the harmful dust that gives you pigeon lung , those ones in screwfix for instance are crap , the mask needs to be FFP2 rated to help, If I were you I would get a Bradwest aircap as this definately helps ,Dr Anderson and Dr Gavin Boyd are the doctors who specialize in Pigeon Fanciers Lung disease, they are in attendance at the Blackpool show every year and take blood samples to test to see if you have an allergy. If I were you, whether I was allergic or not, I would wear a mask at all times John How much do the bradwest caps cost? Couldnt see on the aircap site :-/
aidenspop Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Hi mine cost approx £130 , last year at thise time (Hogmanay to be exact ) I was admitted into hospital with breathing difficulties, Hospital staff were terrific and I was referred to Crosshouse Hospital Kilmarnock, where i was under senior consultant Dr Anderson the respiritory specialist, rather than give up my pigeons he recommended trying an air cap , things have been brill since, Money well spent John
Guest joshdonlan Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 is it actually a baseball cap? http://www.aircap2.com/
aidenspop Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Yes but with a motor and filters . blows filtered air down over your face, great
p charlton Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Posted December 29, 2009 ive had both the air cap 1 and 2 they were not that good they steamed up all the time the 4 might be better

Roland Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 To stop steaming up, would spitting and rubbing on the Glass / Plastic prevent this like it does when Scuba diving / Snorkling? :-/
