Since last Thursday I've been laid up in my house with an ailment that has my sinuses blocked and green phlegm coughing up. I've taken all sorts of medicines to help reduce the symptoms: Allegra, sudafed, BC powder, NiteQuil, and i might be going on an antibiotic if things don't change. Nothing seems the help so im asking if ya'll have any ideas on how to get rid of this crap.
I think it started when on Wednesday I turned over my compost pile. It took me eight hours to accomplish that task because i have so much compost. Then Thursday I raked a small area just below the compost pile, cut the stubble down with a lawn mower, and then transfered the remains up to the compost pile. Four hours of that activity.
Got back into the house and began feeling crappy, sinus stuffy, snotty, and lethargic. Four days later I figured it would have run it course but it is tenaciously hanging on. Got any suggestions on how i can get relief? Thanks.
It sounds like you inhaled something from the compost. Legionnaire's disease or Aspergillosis. I would get some ivermectin and/or hydroxychloroquin. Follow the Covid protocols on this board.

This is what I was genuinely worried about during the COVID-19 madness back in the day, that people would be infected with Legionnaires Disease from their unwashed masks and then they’d REALLY have some serious problems. It is not to be underestimated at all.
