Wood Smoke Stories

Migraines and nosebleeds

I get severe migraine headaches and nosebleeds from my neighbor’s chimney smoke. They use their chimney every night. Even when the windows were tightly closed, the smoke got in. I could smell smoke in my bedroom. It made my pillows and bedding smell. I wound up taping thick plastic over the windows inside my apartment and over my door as soon as I return home. I wish I could afford to move.
