[DOVEScot]

no the smokers so how is it stupid i smoke 45 day i dont suffer allergy

 

Maybe the nicotine is killing the fungus that develops in your lungs that is associated with PLD, it may be deemed stupid to smoke 45 fags a day  :-/

[ChrisMaidment08]

[aarden]

did your mate have blood tests chris?

does he have any problems at all now?

[ChrisMaidment08]

he did and was put on machine to check his qx intake  yes he still has trouble he cant go to shows which he loved he must not visit mates or if he does must not go near birds or anything to do with them  the show side of things you should ask tammy about he seems to go to them perhaps he could give tips on what he does to cope

There seems seems to be different forms or types, while dealing with Billy his consultant said he has the worst form of pigeon lung, he has a fungus in his lung and any more contact with pigeons would kill him, also he has to stay in a dust free atmosphere as much as possible

asit seemsdove some get it worse he looked like death wormed up but has im proved no end its a bad thing to have but as i said eailer on this thread before i was jumped on smokers have lineineing on lungs so probly spores are not able to infect  but i know if high readcing   its end of birds as even freinds carry spores on clothes so will start you off
