Staying healthy while do your passion.. sounds great. I have hand painted gourds for 5 years. Admiring those of you that make the vases and lamps. After 2025 season was over my husband and I decided to start carving and drilling gourds for lamps. With in 6 weeks I have gradually started getting short of breathe..last week I went to the Dr. because I really was having a hard time breathing and chest pains. Then started looking up gourd dust....OMG!!! We have been drilling in our basement with now filter system or respirator. Dumb DUMB! I didnt know. I am writing this to please let people how important on whatever gourds please, please take safety instructions SERIOUSLY! Since I have been down sick I have found many excellent article's on "The Gourd Flu". It is REAL!!!!! I Have been in the hospital since last Wednesday, it will be a week tomorrow morning March 4th,2026. They still have not found out what is exactly wrong..I feel ok until I try to walk or stand. I dont even have the oxygen to talk. The Dr.'s agree the Gourd dust is a hugh part. We are praying this illness go away soon, if you are reading this you may research Gourd safety BEFORE drillin, craving and clean. Gourds are awesome, but as I am finding out the hard way extremely dangerous! Keep on gourding my gourdastic FRIENDS.
