    I live in a village in East Cambs., near Wisbech where a number of residents have been experiencing dry coughs and sore throats over recent weeks. Although I realise that pollen from plants and agricultural products e.g canola may be a contributory factor, I wonder if these symptoms could also be attributed to volcanic ash fall out in this area. Many thanks.
