This bad air quality is playing havoc with the health of my patients.

5. I have always been prone to respiratory problems

so when San Diego had two huge wildfires in 2003 and 2007 I wore my blue mask at school. Then the district closed the schools for a week each time (this was never done in the history of the district before). Fellow teachers sort of made fun of me but I didn't care. This is not a joke! I have seen tons of photos of people wearing their masks in China (even for their formal wedding photos outside). Hello Climate Change! Here come more diseases from all sorts of odd things that we never had to seriously deal with during our life times in the past. I am eaten alive by bugs 8 months out of the year now. My scars do not even have time to disappear before next year's insects feast on me again.
