Sometimes work with a gardener who always uses a blower and I'll rake up. He often blows the leaves or whatever right in my direction. He blows on roads, grass, patios and soil. Could I be breathing in bad dust? (No visible dust I'm the air.)

We get guys with the same sort of chest infections when cutting out rotten timbers (especially dry rot), so I can well believe itI am sure its from leaf blowing and the dust or bacteria lurking in the wet leaves.

Might wear a mask. How about if you're holding the blower (it's pointing away from u)?Gold dust, is Good dust.
Leaf blowers are just a nuisance, but i find it relaxing to rake up leaves and pile them up for composting. It's minimal mineral value but it all helps. Sometimes you'll find a hedgehog has made a nest and i'm always careful to avoid raking up any frogs that may be around. Slippery little suckers like to lurk under damp leaves.
Maybe wear a dust mask when the blowers gets going, and all will be well with your world.
