@sueinmn - I ordered a neck gaiter, which I never knew existed in forms other than for skiing. I also will look for a bandana among my scarves - not sure if I still have it or not.

@drsharon - you mentioned that the dirt and dust are likely just physical irritant that is bothering my lungs that are already inflamed from chemical irritants. Were you thinking of chemical irritants from inside the house or from gardening chemicals around my neighborhood?
