The drought conditions are increasing fire danger, but they also have an impact on health, according to experts.

Being more congested and having post-nasal drip are some of the symptoms that people may be experiencing because of the dry conditions.  

The dry weather also makes it much more likely that germs and allergens will be in the environment.
