Re: Fw : Tobacco Worker's Lung: eMedicine Pulmonology

[Guest guest]

Right. Tobacco WORKERS lung is a form of HP, just like pigeon breeders

lung, or air conditioner lung, or farmers lung, etc.

This has ALWAYS bugged me. Why could a tobacco worker go to the doctor

and get treatment for a lung disease, but a teacher could come in with the

EXACT same symptoms and they would giver her prozac.

Sue, this is an anecdotal observation. Seems like those who have become

ill from WDB's and were non-smokers, develop a sensitivity to cigarette

smoke after the WDB exposure. But smokers don't develop this same sensitivity.

It is very odd and I would like to understand more. Cigarette smoke

never bothered me. Cigar smoke in the air after my WDB exposure would

literally make me dizzy.
