Scary stuff

[melchar]

Just talked with my mom. She's been suffering for the past 2 weeks [awful all-body rash, aches] - and the latest doctor she saw gave her a new slew of drugs [that have helped] - AND the speculation that some of her problems have been caused by the hideous air quality.

Or more to the point, that the fires are burning cr@p-tons of poison oak and poison ivy which is going into the air that folks are breathing in - and getting sick thereby. Considering that the smoke is worse here, that's something more to worry about.

That reminds me Shaun Taylor was helping family throw wood in a mulcher even though he used gloves the poison oak or what ever the itchy stuff was became air born and went into his lungs etc... He was in bad shape all better now.
That would really suck!!
