That's how it was in the village where I grew up except the smell was
from "cow ****". The local ranchers regularly drove herds through the
village. There was only that one street so no other options. It never
bothered me. Diesel exhaust blasting into my face while riding on
roads
does though, big time.

But that is very much a matter of personal preference, isn't it?


You do know the difference between a nuisance smell and potential lung
cancer, don't you?

That's the point, Joerg. You obviously don't know the difference.

You pretend that if you can smell diesel, you must be at significantly
elevated risk for lung cancer. That's not the case. In enough
concentration, diesel fumes do raise risk, but that concentration must
be much higher than what a person can detect by smell.


I have mentioned that often a cough sets in. Ask any doctor. When fumes
trigger a cough they do increase cancer risk, big time. Once I am off
that long county road for a while, no more coughing.

Oh good grief.

My doctor tells me I may be allergic to pine pollen, because I get a
cough every year around Christmas time when we have a live tree in the
house. But he says it may be another allergen instead.

Allergies are not cancer.
