AllCare Health office's in Medford and Grants Pass are giving away free face masks to protect Southern Oregonians from wildfire smoke and poor air quality. Anyone can get a free mask, you do not have to be an AllCare Health member.

I know I should, but I can't handle the masks. You feel like you can't breathe and then you put on a mask and you feel like you can't breathe even more!

I've been fantasizing of a trip to cleaner air very soon.

I was thinking of going to the coast but it's smoky there too. Long Beach Wa. appears clear but nobody else wants to travel almost three hours each way.

All I know is: I feel quite bad. And a lot of other people are too. A little rain would be appreciated. Well, a lot of rain.

You should try wearing one in a super hot attic while you are crawling around working. I'm having a hard time having any empathy for you

Medford or air quality is 278 VERY UNHEALTHY.
I noticed it today before I even went out. It stinks like when someone puts water on a fire.

The site I use is a little different. Maybe their sensor is in a different location

Holy crap I hope you have some kind of air filtration.
It looks like it may be even worse than you stated...
