Has you ever became ill after using a line-trimmer?

The last two times that I've trimmed growth that was as tall I was, I
ended up inadvertently inhaling some of the pulverized debris, and each
night after that, I've ended up with a brief upper-respiratory
infection.

I figured is was the inhalation of mold or fungus that caused it.

I was just curious if this could be a common thing when line-trimming massive
amounts of vegetation.

Either way, I'm going to have to start remembering to use dust-mask from
now on.
