## Resource

Wildfire smoke from Canada is blanketing millions across the U.S., triggering unhealthy air alerts through the weekend. With nearly 900 fires burning in Canada, tiny smoke particles can travel far and silently harm your lungs—even if you can’t see or smell them. AQIs over 50 can cause respiratory issues, and some areas are hitting 500+. Stay indoors, wear N95 masks if you must go out, use recirculating car vents, and run HEPA air purifiers at home. Symptoms like coughing, watery eyes, or shortness of breath? Especially dangerous for kids and seniors. If you have asthma or COPD and symptoms linger over an hour after exposure, seek medical help. Check local air quality and protect your lungs—your health depends on it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
