@TheJen @kimlockhartga There are spores out to get you in desert environments. Someone I knew from HS contracted Valley Fever. His father, an archeologist, also. The son survived his bout. His father passed away. It also became an issue in Los Angeles after the Northridge quake kicked up a lot of desert dust.
I hope you feel better soon.
In case this might be what's bothering you:

@kimlockhartga Pretty much.

@TheJen I think that's about how outdated the advice is.
TheJen will not comply
@kimlockhartga RIGHT? "It's good for the lungs." SAYS WHO? 19th century tuberculosis patients?

@TheJen and yet every doctor told me to move TO the desert. They don't know everything, do they?
TheJen will not comply
@kimlockhartga I knew better than to move to the desert and friggin did it anyway. Fortunately, that will be cured soon. I am so sick. Bloody hell.

@TheJen I'm so sorry. You prompted me to look up our air quality index which is an unhealthy 55 right now. Mostly PM2.5 pollution, but also tree pollen is very high.
TheJen will not comply
Juniper pollen is still kicking my ass up and down, but the ash has quit. So that's nice. Lord have mercy my poor body is so beat up right now. I have been sick for 2 months.
