where you from m8, a lot of coughs being around caused by the weather, and dust

[walterboswell59]

ive been told it is posible if your mother handles the clothes you wear in the loft as they are covered in bloom throw them in the washer yourself m8 might help but as fifer says lots of dust in the air just now

A member in my club - his wife has pigeon lung (she is in her sixties) and she has never been in a pigeon loft (it is from handling his clothes)

I was told a few years ago that it is not the bloom that causes pigeon lung

But the spores from the droppings???.and you should always wear a loft

Coat hat and mask when in the loft . And remove them before entering the

House ,but how many of us listen to this ,it's a case of won't happen to me .

Sounds more like an alergy to pigeon bloom Walter , Pireton tablets(anti histomine) might help.

I remember you thinking it was the shavings that made it worse, I took all my shavings out the baskets and it definitely helped me with my pfl.

good read

yeh right enough we are warned to use mask coat time after time

same as at work guys cutting all day on saws no masks ect

ironically as the gaffer i kick there *expletive removed* for it for thier own sake yet come straight home into loft no mask no coat

we never think it will happen to us

 

i have decided now health and safety will be applying to my lofts same as work

well al try see how it goes

[walterboswell59]

the only problem with the mask is if you wear glasses they keep steaming up

I know m8, knowing about the shavings helped me big time.

I had the same problem with my glasses when I wore the masks from the BHW as they had no valve and when I got some with a valve it solved the problem plus they are better and cheaper
