I thought that AQI of 230 was bad, but it’s 442 in MN rn. Being outside briefly makes me actually ill, but ahahah it’ll bring the temps down ahaha….

@music-by-margaruine Wildfire smoke! A bunch of pine trees that have been drying for years caught fire from a lightning strike. If there isn’t lots of rain, it’ll burn until it snows

Man, the worst I've been in is about ~580 (BC, Canada.) Awful thing to experience. In this day and age, I have to recommend blowing some cash on a high end air purifier. I went with a Coway airmega and holy smokes is it powerful. It's pretty overkill for the space I have, so I essentially have fresh cycled air every minute and a half. When it kicks into overdrive you feel a pressure change in the house lol

@ichomancer Defo gonna look into getting one of those. I have an air purifier but it’s a pretty standard one. Idk if she can keep up with these wildfires that are practically annual now

I thought I escaped the yearly smoke after fleeing the West, nope! Just in the "smellable" area, i.imgur.com/9U2R9iq.jpeg

I recommend everyone in wildfire-affected areas, or heavily polluted industrial zones invest in at least one HEPA Air Purifier. If funds are low, or you are feeling DIY, you can also build a Corsi-Rosenthal style box :-]

The 2023 wildfires gave me bronchitis and now it’s even worse where I am… classic!
