[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about respiratory failure? [quote]On 21 November 2016, a powerful southerly change in Melbourne, Australia, resulted in the death of 10 asthmatic people who succumbed to respiratory failure.[321] This was due to a stark 60-kilometre-per-hour (37 mph) wind that distributed ryegrass pollen into the moist air, rupturing them into very fine specks, particles small enough to enter people's lungs.[/quote][/quote] As someone who is highly allergic to many grasses, that is ... horrific. [/quote] It's very strange. A 35-mph wind is a strong breeze, not a "stark wind". The gust apparently disturbed some pollen but there's always lots of pollen in the spring. I don't really understand what happened in the quoted post. [/quote] Here's a news article on that specific case: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/nov/09/thunderstorm-asthma-deaths-ambulance-dispatch-time-unlikely-factor-coroner[/quote]
