Hi,

I know it wasn't a question for me but thought I'd add my experience with cutting firewood (I assume you're doing it with a chainsaw). I used to get really bad headaches and generally, just feel sickly for a day or so after cutting wood. So, I started wearing a charcoal activated respirator and all symptoms completely disappeared. The respirator cartridges fill up w/ emissions fairly quickly so I try to cut with my back to the wind...when there is any (blows the emissions away).

Perhaps it is the saw's emissions giving you problems too, I have no idea. Just thought I'd mention it...

Good luck.
