I hope this lad never makes the mistake of sucking rather than blowing .
So true mate, people have died from "Bag Pipe Lung"a potentially fatal inflammation of the lungs caused by inhaling certain allergens.
It’s also known as bird fancier’s lung, cheese-washer’s lung, coffee roaster’s lung, compost lung, farmer’s lung, hot tub lung, miller’s lung, laboratory worker’s lung,Malt worker’s lung, thatched roof disease, tobacco worker’s lung, wine-grower’s lung & woodworker’s lung .
Yup breathing all sorts of nasties and fungus can really do a number on you!
Any job where you’re near mould or breathing dust in all day long for that matter is increasing the risk of getting this condition.
Although – how do you get it in a laboratory? Well you can contract it from proteins in male rat urine. Now that is really unpleasant!
