I was at the Strawberry Festival last night which was excellent! If we have a Super spreader event this would be it! We wore masks just to stop the nasty dusty air from entering our old fragile lungs! It seems that the new construction has created some sort of Dust Cloud over the South End of Town! The cars were covered in dust and not pollen! Definitely carries a strange odor down there!

Maybe related, Maybe not.....................What is the big nasty smell by Big Cypress Rec Center?? Last few days. Right behind BC, there are non-Villages homes and they have done a lot of open burning over the years. Not sure if the smell is coming from there. Smells like rotting bodies. Anyone know??

You don't like dust and smell?
Under our new lockdown system of living in squalor, our rooms are thick with the stuff, and the smel is dire.
You get used to it though after a while!

The dust and dirt issue is not limited to the "South" villages.

We are just South of 466 (built 2004) and over the years have concluded this area has the dirtiest air of any place we have ever lived. Dust in the house is an ongoing, never ending battle.

We have adjusted/acclimated.

I go to Brownwood a few times a week for MVP. If you wanted to see dust, you should have been in the south area in 2017 when they excavating Trailwinds Commercial Park 165 acres of land. That was farm land before and for months they removed all the trees except in the very back and leveled the ground and turned over every blade of grass until it was one huge dirt site. Installed sewage, street lights, curbs and streets, it was probably a 9 month project and I drove 466A west almost every day and that a dust cloud for sure.

Those who lived directly behind in St. James and Tamarind Grove and across 466A in Pinellas suffered the worse. I'm a 1/2 mile away and I couldn't keep my car clean all that time. I couldn't wait until that was done and Lowes opened. The home in the right corner are in St. James.

I believe what you are seeing is pollen. We live south of 44 and there is no dust except near where construction is going on. However, the oak and pine pollens are getting very thick and are all over the cars and even running down the edges of the street when irrigation water or rain comes down. If you have a lanai that is not enclosed you will see it on your furniture and tables.

Yes, it's pollen.

I remember that. Playing Southern Star in a dust storm. It went on for miles.

My eyes have been burning for almost 2 weeks because of the pollen, it's gotten worse in the past couple of days. Gets into your sinuses too, and your lungs. It will be gone shortly before the lovebug invasion.

I finally found an advantage of an electric golf cart that I can relate to, the dust and pollen won’t clog the air filter : )

I sure hope not. Have you ever smelled human decomp? I guarantee that you will never forget it. Could be small animals.

They were applying some type of toxic smelling fertilizer on Mangrove Thurs. we had to wear a mask while standing in the parking lot at Sweetgum/Mangrove. It was really bad.

Where do you think your sewage goes?
