Jason Haas said...: "Smoke persisted throughout southeast Wisconsin during the afternoon. At 4 PM on September 13, 2011 short-term particulate matter levels were excessively high in southeast Wisconsin. According to the Department of Health Services (DHS) this can cause problems in sensitive individuals, including those with lung or cardiovascular disease. In healthy people, symptoms of smoke exposure usually include irritation of eyes, nose, and throat, or breathing discomfort"

Fortunately, I'm in the latter category, but still felt the smoke in my nose and on my eyes. I feel for folks who had a harder time with it.; September 13, 2011 at 11:01 PM
