This is a known respiratory condition from being out in the Johnson Valley OHV area also known as the Hammer Trails. This location is also the area that is home of the annual King Of The Hammers off road race. Hammer Lung occurs when huffing too much radioactive dust from that area that was formerly a bomb test site for the United States Military.
Sup my dudes… Just spent a week out at KOH watching the Nor Cal crew (Webb, Scherer, Gomez, etc…) and got a nasty case of Hammer Lung. I got it last year too and took me 2 weeks to partially recover and a full month to feel 99% normal again. If the wind is whipping up that Hammers dust strap on your KN95’s to help prevent Hammer King my dawgs!

After pulling a bong rip, I hacked up some "Lung Guacamole". Dip tortilla chips at your own will, if you happen to get the munchies.
