Walnut dust - causing headaches?

[Jay Pique]

No, it's not very hard or dense. It feels perhaps a bit less dense than American Walnut. The dust is brown.

I'm a big fan of this Peruvian Walnut already. Is black walnut the same as American Walnut?

I'm beginning to think that prolonged expsure to wood dust may become problematic for me. My allergies in general seem much worse this year than in years prior.

Where do you get your replacement filters?

That lets out it being ipe, which is sometimes sold as "Peruvian/Brazilian/Argentinian/pick your South American country Walnut", the dust of which is known to cause headaches.

I know the Dustfoe 66 has been discontinued. When my filters are gone I'll replace the mask. The paper filters don't work well, at least on my face. You absolutely need a tight fit.

Having a beard, the only one that's worked for me is the Dust-bee-gone..
