I have had the same symptoms for 2 months. I believe it is lack of whiskey. I do know that Walnut dust can lead to some serious health problems.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Yeppers. I get sick as a dog when I cut fresh cedar. Also get contact dermatitis from emerald cedars.
Just happy to be here.

Are you talking about western red cedar (soft) or eastern cedar (relatively hard)?
I've never heard of allergies to western red cedar before, but I'm sure it exists.
I cooped my self in a garage about 30 years ago and used a belt sander to smooth-out a couple hundred linear feet of 6x6 Alaska yellow cedar posts. I didn't wear a mask; really dumb. I developed an allergy to the dust, but after a couple of years it went away thankfully. BTW, Alaska yellow cedar is actually a cypress and not a cedar.
I think overwhelming your system with any kind of dust can cause you to go off kilter. Apparently your immune system thinks those little dust particles are pathogens.

Back when I framed houses for a while all the fascia was western red. Had one guy that would get congested for a week if he was on the saw. Your right on the dust. When I worked in a cabinet shop I figured out quick the dust collection and masks was your friend. The paint booth was the worst. Hacking up phlegm and swollen sinuses ain't fun.

"red cedar" board bought at Menards . My Doc. said that it's dust has a spoor/ spore? that gets in your nasale and the body attacks it like a fungus/mold.Allergy. he gave me 1 pill for that. and a round of two a day for 10 days of something else. 2 different pills for nausea. I'm feeling 50% better this morning.
