I know I developed asthma after working with wood for several years.
There maybe something to this.

I developed asthma after removing the complete interior and jute
padding from a 1961 Lincoln Continental without a mask.


Neither wood nor jute cause asthma. Wood, jute, or just about anything
else can cause an asthma ATTACK, but are not the underlying causes. In
this regard, asthma is similar to an allergy. Asthma, or more
specifically, the sensitivity to certain things is entirely genetic.


Sorry I missed that "MD" after your name.


And you really need to put PHD after yours. That's for Piled High and Deep.
