Fitzgerald says minor symptoms can include headaches, a mild cough, sore and watery eyes, and nose and throat irritation.
Wildfires can lead to reduced air quality levels even here on the west coast. Dr. Janice Fitzgerald is the Chief Medical Officer. Yesterday, she went before the microphones to talk about precautions people should take to protect their health and who is at risk. She says if it’s smokey outside, stay inside and keep all doors and windows closed. Fitzgerald says minor symptoms can include headaches, a mild cough, sore and watery eyes, and nose and throat irritation. More serious, but less common, symptoms can include severe cough, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and wheezing. Fitzgerald says people should consider turning off their air conditioners or exchangers. Drinking water can help to reduce inflammation caused by exposure to smoke.
