If you have a feather duvet, down pillows or clothing and have some breathing concerns, you should learn about feather duvet lung.
Feather duvet lung (FDL), or hypersensitivity pneumonitis, is a lung problem caused by sensitivity to antigens from duck or goose feathers in duvets and pillows. Breathing in this dust triggers a reaction in the body, causing lung inflammation and difficulty breathing.
Dr. Ana Zamora-Martinez, a Mayo Clinic pulmonologist, says repeated exposure can lead to irreversible lung fibrosis, where the lungs become permanently scarred and damaged.
