Asthma

Post by Beanpole » Mon Jan 06, 2020 10:37 am

I've had a bit of work related asthma over the last couple of years. It's hard to pick the triggers except obvious ones. I've had a bit since last night but that's really the first I've had since all the bushfires started which surprises me. It's actually been one of the longest runs without an episode. I'm putting last night down to MSG in the crappy Chinese we had last night.

What booze did you drink that night beani? Any alcohol is a pretty guaranteed trigger for me but heavy red, sparkling whites and lager are the worst I find

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

Any additives in the 200 range affect my wife's asthma.
On the advice of her specialist in Sydney I drove out to Mudgee, to the Botobolar organic and preservative free winery.
The wine was shit, so my wife doesn't drink wine anymore.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Sulfites is that Trev? Think it's becoming increasingly common for wine producers not to use them these days so there may be some better wines that available now that she could try

Yep. Sulfites are a problem for her.
Amazing how many places they're used.
Like on fruit salads prepared earlier and on display in cafes and other food outlets. Used to keep the fruit from losing its colour.
Anyway, she's happy to stay off alcohol completely these days.

Yeah, it's funny. My wife is more affected by red while white seems to set me off. I actually thought it was down to MSG on that occasion. Since I haven't been exposed to dust at work it's been pretty good. Other factor is the unflued gas heater. Obviously haven't been using it lately. You would think the smoke would set it off but it hasn't.
