A member asked:
I was driving by workers who were throwing branches into a shredder and i inhaled a lot of the branch and leaf debris. will my body be harmed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: The particles generated by the shredder are likely too large to enter your lung. One may cough a few times but they will not likely cause any damage if you are feeling well otherwise.
