Me too.
Having asthma, it would be something that affect me right away.
I remember as a kid playing in sand that was very dusty. Not a good
combo.
It always had to be wetted down with water, but some places had sand
that was obviously better and had hardly any dust.
Niether of my kids liked to play in sand, so I wasn't about to push
it. lol
