[Gpdd] Re: [CARE] <Smoke and piggies>

[Cindy]

In regard to burning incense in a room where piggies are, I would recommend 
against it.  The lungs of piggies are four-lobed, and when a piggie senses 
smoke (say, out in the wild in a forest fire), he will close off all but 
one lobe of the lung.  When the danger has passed, he'll open up the other 
lobes.  Thus, three of the lobes will be fine, but one might be 
damaged.  It's my worry that your piggies might be sensing the smoke and 
closing off three lobes, leading to damage in the fourth.

On a personal note, it's difficult for me to be around incense, even though 
I like the scent of it.  I was in a yoga class once where incense was being 
burned, and even though it was all the way across the room, it did bother me.
