Been having an on-going problem with sinus problems. It comes and goes, never could put a finger on why. Then I noticed that some of the crud I was hacking up, tasted a bit like white oak wood. Yup, been sawing a bit of dry white oak lately, dry powdery dust. But my mill has a sawdust blower and a fan mounted atop the head, that should keep the dust at bay. Apparently not good enuff, so tried a good dust mask.. Problem solved, shoulda listen when Magic told us to always wear a dust mask...I beginning to wonder what other good Magic advice I've been ignoring ? I don't have any highly valuable creek walnut to give away, how about a bunch of standing dead pine ?

It is not the actual "sawdust", it is the "powder" that is flying around in the air that is generated not only from the sawing, but also from the Debarker, etc.
