🌫️ Just checking in on everyone today...

How are you doing with all this smoke?

The yellow sky, the smell of smoke, burning eyes, scratchy throats, and coughing have made for a rough few days here in Michigan. ❤️

If you're able, stay indoors, keep your windows closed, drink plenty of water, and take it easy until the air improves.

I'm also curious... does anyone else feel like this is bringing back a little COVID déjà vu? Being told to limit time outdoors, staying inside more than you'd like, and constantly checking the air quality feels strangely familiar.

I'd love to hear how you're doing.

💬 What's the air quality like where you are?
💬 Are you staying inside, or do you still have to work outdoors?
💬 Have you noticed any symptoms from the smoke?
💬 And does this remind you at all of those early COVID days, or is it just me?

Let's check in on one another. Sometimes knowing you're not the only one dealing with it makes all the difference.

Praying for clean air, blue skies, and healthier lungs for everyone soon. 🙏💙

🚨 This is AQI 511 in Northern Michigan. The sky turned yellow. The sun glowed orange. Even healthy lungs can feel the effects of wildfire smoke. When the air is heavy, I reach for mullein to help soothe my lungs and support healthy respiratory function. Stay indoors if you can, stay safe, and breathe easy. ❤️ These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. #NorthernElderberry #Mullein #WildfireSmoke #AQI #AirQuality #LungSupport #RespiratorySupport #NorthernMichigan #TraverseCity #NaturalWellness #HerbalSupport #BreatheEasy #StaySafe

Healthy people everywhere have stopped sneaking snacks.

We've spent years eating kale, elderberries, and vegetables.

Now we're finding out that the recent explosive diarrhea wasn't caused by the chocolate cake we secretly inhaled in the pantry.

🍪Justice for cookies.
🍧Justice for ice cream.
🍡Justice for candy & potato chips.

They've been taking the blame for years.

Today... we eat our junk food in the open.

🔸No shame.
🔸No guilt.
🔸No hiding.

Just don't forget to wash your produce first. 😂🍪🍫

(Satire only. Cyclospora is a real foodborne parasite, and proper produce washing is one of the best ways to reduce your risk.)

Stay inside and protect your lungs.

Northern Michigan has some of the worst air quality on earth right now thanks to wildfires ongoing to our west in Minnesota, and north in Canada.

Some AQI readings are well over 500. Map below shows current AQI readings.

🌫️ Is the smoke making it hard to breathe today?

If your eyes are burning, your throat is scratchy, or you're coughing more than usual, you're not alone. Poor air quality can affect everyone, but it's especially concerning for those with asthma, COPD, or other lung conditions.

Stay safe, stay inside when you can, and take good care of those lungs. ❤️
