CF and Farms

[lightNlife]

I grew up on a dairy farm. Amazingly enough, I didn't have more severe lung involvement than I did.

The only things to be careful about is the dust from the hay, and animal feces. Take along a hand sanitizer and your rescue med inhaler and you should be fine. If you have allergic rhinitis (aka hay fever) you might want to take some claritin or allegra before you visit just to keep your allergies from flaring up.

Other than that, have fun!

As a kid I was lying in the hay for hours, reading and playing with the cats and not washing my hands for hours too<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Is there any risks if you've got CF and you visit farms?

Yes, there is absolutely a risk! There is a higher incidence of exposure to mycobacteria at a farm (from agricultural soil). Breathing air-borne dirt (dust) is very risky.

Just beware of onion patches, I recall hearing somewhere that the onions were what triggered the B. Cepacia....but probably going to a Garlic Farm would be good for ya!
The only bad experience I had at a farm (not even really a "farm", just had horses and ten acres of land) was while helping with bailing hay, I had a nasty rash on my thighs. Probably due to the irritation of the hay, I would use my thigh to boost the bailed hay onto the wagon.
Keeping up on your salts and water (basically electrolite) levels would be wise, as to not dehydrate in the summer heat...
