## Resource

Central Virginia’s air is dangerously hazy thanks to Canadian wildfires — triggering a Code Red alert. Tiny smoke particles are causing itchy eyes, sore throats, and headaches for everyone, with serious risks for those with lung or heart conditions. People are reporting panic, mask-wearing, and extra hydration just to get through daily tasks. Health officials urge kids, seniors, and vulnerable folks to stay indoors — and if you must go outside, use an N95 mask or your car’s AC. This isn’t a short-term issue — smoky skies are expected to stick around for days. Stay safe, stay informed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
