What’s the cure for farmers lung?

I would recommend percussive therapy done by a spouse 4-6 times a day and with a good expectorant, much of that debris will finally be coughed up.

Anyone can learn how to do it. There are good demonstration videos by RNs and Respiratory Therapists in training on youtube.

This repetitive cupping dislodged themucus plugs that form to capture that foreign material, but often it gets trapped.

A bronchodialator will often increase your air volume to get your pulse ox readings where they need to be.

Something as simple as Breathe Easy Tea will sure help. And scratchiness in your throat can be handled by Throat Coat Tea. Both are commonly available and inexpensive.

Only phlegm can remove what went into your lungs. Use a steam inhaler to add moisture to bring it up.

I was raised with vw then a Renault then Honda, I don't know older /:

How about you eat a big meal. Have a nice bottle of scotch. Then neck yourself you absolute cock sucking queer.

Coughing is a reflex action when the patient's airway is restricted and typically narrows. So the brain triggers a cough so mucus, the sweeping of cilia, dust cells, etc all forcefully eject the mucus upwards.

So percussing all the lobes of the lungs then mechancally loosens this through strong vibration and sharp cupping motions. It's plain old common sense.

If that debris stays, then successive waves of various white blood cells will aggregate to attack it. Then they die, and so cannot escape, causing pus.

The patient gets thickening yellow phlegm that darkens in color, then turns greenish and smells bad. That is a warning sign, as then a secondary bacterial infection can end up also being a problem with a sharp rise in temperature to 104 F. At that point, you need antibiotics.

A very old person, an immuno-compromised patient, a young child, that ends up with green phlegm is a serious situation. On a farm, that straw or hay might be contaminated with fecal matter or whatever. That could cause a serious bacterial infection. So serious that somebody has to sit with them through the night checking temperatures and making sure they don't spike. That can be real scary where you have to immerse a patient in cold water water in the bathtub. Now that could be especially bad because of weather and being in a rural area.

I use lung repair frequency on youtube...binaural beats,use headphones
Amazing

Lets stop the farming folks....peeps iz way too fat.

Farm fatties is ruining the climate. Wake up.

NAC should definitely help with breathing problems. It's about $15 on Amazon.

you will need antifungal medication.

this could turn into a problem for a long time.

do not take this lightly.

you need fluconazole prescription at least. but, I'd ask the doc to give you something stronger if you feel your body can take it.

hope you're not a heavy drinker.

good luck you're going to need it, if you do nothing.

It is a bacterial infection. Every time I mulched I would get pneumonia. Each time it would be bacterial. At first I was taking a pneumonia shot every five years but it did not help. I quit mulching and also started wearing a mask when I mow if it is dry and a lot of leaves.

My problem arose from dead and dried media I used or it was naturally occurring in the yard. I guess the first time I noticed getting sick from it was raking leaves and making leaf forts as a child. I would always throw up.

Fungal ?

Or steam over a hot pot with towel over your head

Guiefesin is an expectorant - Tobitussin makes it

Might help expel the gunk

Don’t get decongest with it - that dries you out

So which frequency is “lung repair” ?

Which helps?

Who has time to rediclscover ehat others have spent time and effort to discover ?

Can put peroxide 3% (regular) in a pot of water over the stove and breath the steam in


My friend gets pneumonia once a year and uses this to clear the lungs

White vinegar works too- not ACV

throw your arse in the ocean for a few days....and get some sun on your flesh....

Smoke some mullein.

Lol

Oregano oil ORALLY, then use a nebulizer if you have one.
Dilute the Oregano oil!!! And Don't nebulize the oil!

That would seem to be the next logical step.

I'd get a chest xray OP there is no telling if your lungs are scarred or not without one.

I have horses ... When going to get dry hay often times the bales on the ground or exposes to moisture like rain without a cover roof; will lead to moldy hay with mushrooms growing.

Its only an issue really; if you were to like open a "flake" of hay off the bail and in between the mold is WHITE WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF BAKING POWDER. Breathing that stuff, IF YOU WERE A HORSE, because you aren't smart enough to not eat ... The horse can inhale large quantities of this over several feedings and their lungs get toasted; they can't cough flem like humans; they theoretically drown from mucus build up in their lungs...

Farmers lung ... Breathing hay burning, because hay don't burn, it smolders thick white billowing smoke and HAY FEVER will jack your head and lungs up for about 10 days and DO NOTHING just keep working and push on thru; THATS WHY FARMERS ARE STRONG!

No worries; at age 46 with 30 years farming, as a man, I still run marathons and hit the weights... I am AMERICAN BADASS and part of the farmers that feeds 98% of the human population ...

Breathing air fresh air will not harm you!

YOU CAN TAKE THE MASK OFF NOW TOO

You are who you are because you dont get laid, hate your life, and likely want to do but are too much of a broke pussy to just do it.

Just do it bro...it would be funny to see

Mold is very common is often found in homes and often from a bathroom or basement storage area where fruiting bodies are found. You treat that with apple cider vinegar with the mother as the least toxic method.

You get exposed to fungus but it is less likely.

A lot of people get allergies from dust mites.

In certain parts of the southwest, as they lack windbreaks, they get bad soil erosion. That gets circulated and then you have the toxic brew of Valley Fever which can be a little bit of everything. People don't know they got it, then move, and then visit the doc and he or she is scratching their head until taking a proper patient history. That is endemic to that southwest region and gets kicked up with drought conditions.

They can analyze what immunoglobins are elevated and that helps isolate the cause. It's hard saying unless you know where people generally are from.

OP,

If you don't want to go to a doctor at first, trying to get better with over the counter methods -

Over the counter expectorants - Guafenisin

To help open you up, making it easier for the expectorants to expel the crud, try any over the counter asthma bronchodilators - [link to www.walmart.com (secure)]

If this doesn't work, you may need to obtain antibiotics from a doctor.

Previous replies have covered treatment. In the future, if/when Harbor Fright gets them back in stock, get one of their half face, two filter element (P95) masks. Replacement filter elements are available.

I got the coof some years ago cleaning out the chicken coop without a mask (dumb). Got the HF mask, have used it four times while cleaning chicken coop, had no problems.

Neighbor rancher got real close to a cow that that had brucillis (bad spelling, sue me) or some kind of pneumonia ... he didn't use a mask. He caught it, got real sick almost killed him. Now on high flow oxygen for life.

Use a GOOD mask.

Skip. made a post just the other day about a personal Hydrogen Peroxide atomizer that looked like it would be perfect for your needs. Do a search for his screen name. Good luck!

Never!
