Vent: Remember when we didn't bother with fume extractors?
Back in the day, we just opened a door and called it good. I started using proper extractors last year after a cough that wouldn't quit. Now the air feels cleaner and my head's clearer all shift. Have you guys added any gear to your routine?

Yeah, the "blame it on allergies" part hits home... I was in that same denial for way too long. Admitting the old methods were bad feels rough but necessary. That realization is way too familiar.

My brilliant solution used to be a cheap box fan pointed at an open garage door. I'd be soldering with rosin flux and just blame my yearly sinus infection on "allergies". Took a chest cold that turned into bronchitis to finally admit that fan was just blowing the nasty cloud right back at my face. The extractor feels like a huge admission that my old methods were kind of stupid.
