Hello All,
There is no doubt that the smoke from Canada has an infect on a large US. I can’t imagine the people affected there in Canada.
Hopefully, the fires are getting under control as well as those in New Jersey in Jackson.
For your safety, continue to protect yourself by wearing mask and keeping your windows down as well as limiting you stay outside. Communicate not only with your children the smoke dangers and check on your elderly friends and family..
You don’t want to wear any restrictive clothing that might affect your breathing at this time. You need all the oxygen you can get.
Particles from the fire could still be lingering in the air that you cannot see and still affect your health.
It is not only people with respiratory problem that could be affected, but it could anyone who is breathing. Animals can be affected too. So monitor your pets and limit their time outside if you can.
Keep your mask with you at all times and keep some extras for others you see, who might need one.
If you are on asthma medicine, you might want to take a dose before you leave the house. Many of the complaints are sore throat, itchy eyes and shortness of breath.
If by any means you are having sever shortness of breath that is not controlled by medications, go to the emergency room right away.
Again, even if the air is cleared, you must take precautions and have your medication with you at all times.

The takeaway from this article:
1. Block routes for outside air to keep it from coming in-within reason.
2. Keep exhaust fans off
3. SWITCH FROM VENTILATION TO RECIRCULATION ON ANY AND ALL havoc UNIT.
So, stay safe and monitor the weather a lot more often than you ever have done before, because climate change is with us in unprecedent times, and the smoke is one added concern.
*Also, don’t forget to change your filters in the home and your cabin car filters.
