No: It is something else - keep looking. Take an over the counter antihistamine in the meantime. There is a condition called Cedar Fever which is actually an allergy to the pollen from cedar trees. http://www.texasmedclinic.com/news/symptoms-remedies-cedar-fever-and-allergies-austin-san-antonio/

Not the wood: rather could be the molds, keep taking your asthma medicines, the ongoing and the rescue ones as prescribed, better see or follow up with an allergist/Immunologist for evaluation, advice on environmental control and probably need for specific immunotherapy. Check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck
