Great Health and Safety tip , Thank You for sharing. Frequently theres dust and spores in our allotment woodchip pile and I never thought of the dangers . Will be careful after watching your post 👍🏻😀
The main culprit mould is aspergillis, the condition from inhalation called aspergillosis. Basically severe asmatic symptoms can occur. Like most moulds it has peaks at certain times a year. My dad was hospitalised once after shovelling multiple bags of chips on our allotment. Got told by a neighbouring plot holder it was no problem. He was a doctor. The next time he was wearing a mask. Also had to discourage young kids from playing on a pile Only to be told off by the ill informed parents Great to get a reminder
@@GrowYourOwnLife NP.. I did somewhere have a longish blog post on it that I wrote some time ago, which I was going to link, but like many things. Its disappeared into the digital ether :) NHS website has its own warnings/risk mentions etc.
