Smoke from wildfires and structure fires can cause eye irritation, throat irritation and coughing. Some people with heart and lung disease, including asthma, may have worse symptoms. The elderly and children are also more likely to be affected by health threats from smoke. Even healthy people may experience some of these symptoms in smoky conditions. Seek medical help if you experience symptoms that worsen or become severe.
