Helpful Tips & Tricks for Smoke Season
As smoke season is right around the corner on the Palouse, it's important to learn how to keep children safe and healthy should air quality levels worsen into the late summer. “Every summer I dread the moment that smoke decides to roll in and stay for a few weeks,” says Dr. Katie Hryniewicz, Pediatrician at Palouse Pediatrics. “And on the Palouse, that likes to coincide with other things like summer grass pollen season and the onset of harvest. Needless to say, if you have asthma, it can be a really bad trifecta!”
