ALF Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 MAKE SURE YOU HAVE VERY GOOD VENTILATION IN THE LOFT WITH PLENTY OF AIRFLOW TO MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOURSELF

I dont want to get pigeon lung. :-/ I would just wear a mask and protect yourself long term anyway:-/
REDCHEQHEN Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 One of our club members has got a personal ioniser that he wears round his neck - and swears by it (its got a japanese name - like yakuso :-/ :-/)

I've only just started but am loving it already and the pigeon community too. Specially on here!

I think my asthma cleared up as i got out my teens Well that's what I would worry about if cabin boy went into the racing pigeons as he had asthma, but he is now 15 and he seems to have grown out of it, so I think he would have to wear a mask.

bewted Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 i have bronchial asthma,but,pigeons dont effect me at all,,,!!! saying that,most of the front of my loft is wide open with wire netting,probably thats why i have no ill effects from pigeons !!!! i think its all down to plenty of fresh air and movement of air in the loft !!!!!!!!

Breathing any of the fine white powder cannot be good for you, I am sure it is similar to asbestos dust and fibreglass particles in the sense it does not deteriorate and just builds up over time :-/

DOVEScot Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Asthma takes all different forms and has all different reaction to things Cabin boy is ok in the loft, ok with our dogs, but cannot visit his friend because he has a dog that brings on his asthma symtoms. checked with the doctor as we thought is was an allergy but no :-/
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Dazer international sell them - but their website is down at the moment - its the one that sells xerek - for young bird sickness www.dazer.com aye and i bought 3, cost a lot, never found them to be a bit of good,
Guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Was there not a thread on PFL that a member's doctor had said if your lungs were already compromised by smoking, or another allergy, that you are unlikely to be affected by PFL too?
