Is your asthma triggered by wood smoke?
I don’t know if it qualifies as an allergen, but I get severe headaches and my asthma is triggered if I am near not only a fire, but a fireplace or wood stove that isn’t being used or hasn’t been in a while. At first I thought it was maybe a fungus on the wood that was being released, but how could it be everywhere? Is it just the smoke? Who else has this reaction?

Yes.
I have environmental Asthma. Not Eosinophil or Allergic.
Have 5 perfumes I can wear that won't give me a Asthma attack.
I burn incense and have only a few smells that won't give me an attack(sage, ceder, nag champa, sandalwood, frankincense and myrrh).
Hand creams that don't smell.
Neutral shampoos.
I can't stand scented candles.
Laundry soap has to be neutral.
I have walked into stores and walked out because of "smells".
And outside? Smoke, weather changes, bug sprays, HUMIDITY.....ETC.
Its rough having Asthma my whole life.
