For the past week or so, I have noticed a strange, chemical-like odor in the air when I go outside. Anyone else notice it? It's weird; I'm guessing it's maybe pollen or something. I just never smelled anything like it...

Perhaps it's me? *sniffs armpits* no, my pits smell like pears. Thank you Secret Solid. lol

I know the compost on our lawn right now has a strange odor...has anyone in your area placed compost on their yard. Bad news is the little strange smell, good news is the green, green grass peeking thru it already. This stuff is GOOD!

I've been noticing a plastic like smell. I thought someone was burning trash, but it's been days.

I can't seem to smell anything anymore. I've been stuffed up for weeks. It's weird this year. I had a week or two of relief from the cedar and now I don't know what it is.

Might help if you narrow down what area of SA you live in...

Well, I feel like everytime I make a post I talk about where I am...plus it's actually right there above across from my username, so I didn't want to seem like an idiot (you know, "Okay, M2F, we know where you live already!").

Oh, maybe you should say "by SeaWorld" or "by Rudy's" for those of us not even smart enough to look at the headers of posts!

Otherwise, I can't be of any help. The only thing I notice when I drive by there in the mornings is the sweet smell of BBQ emanating from my favorite restaurant!

But I have noticed on damp mornings that there appears to be "smoke" from locations in that area that are held closer to the ground because of the humidity. Maybe now that the wind's kicked up, it'll go away!

I never get bitten by the cedar monster...but ash. Oh ash...it is the worst for me. Ash has been light the past few days and it only looks to get worse. It could be that. Ironic much that ash is my only allergy vice?

As far as the small, can't be of any help.
