Yellow Wind

So to be completely honest, I didn't even know that this existed a month ago. I had heard people talking about something called Yellow Wind and didn't have any idea what they were talking about. Apparently, sand from the Gobi Desert in China is picked up by the wind and carried over all of Eastern Asia.

Until recently, this wasn't considered an issue. However, because of the ever growing pollutants being released by major Chinese cities, the sand carries pollutants into the breathing air of Korea, Japan, Russia and in some cases The US. Thanks China.

A few days ago I started to feel a little sick. Nothing too serious, just a sore throat and a minor cough. As a person who rarely gets sick from anything, I was very curious as to what I was exposed to. Low and behold, the most common side effects from inhalation of the Yellow Wind are: sore throat and a minor cough. Again, thank you China.

The only positive thing that comes from this Yellow Wind, is the warning sign it issues before an outbreak. The sky turns a very odd color of yellow, like someone is holding a color filter in front of your face. It gives you enough time to either throw on a face mask or get indoors. I've heard that, under normal circumstances, the Yellow Wind only lasts through the spring in Korea and then the air current shifts giving a three season reprieve.

You have anything like this Johnny??
