Many people are complaining of sore throat, itchy eyes, and other bothersome symptoms following several days of poor air quality in Utah.

“I am really upset about the smoke in the air. I have sensitive eyes. I remember the smog in LA years ago it always hurt my eyes and that’s how I have been feeling in the last three or four days,” John Spikes said while on a walk with his friend Dave Kimball.

Kimball is also not feeling well.

“Itchy eyes, little scratchy throat. I am not as upset as he is but he answers for everything I feel,” he said while laughing.

Many symptoms residents are experiencing due to the poor air quality mirror viral illnesses, such as COVID-19, said Dr. Denitza Blagev, a pulmonologist with Intermountain Healthcare.

The poor air quality has affected me with an increase in flatulence and a severe loss of bowel control.
