Is he a smoker aswell? What a wonderful combination. Is this why he's ill so often these days.
Another thought, could there be any asbestos in that place. Mr Spratt says it was used back in the day for heating pipe insulation, particularly in cellars.
There could be all types of dangerous materials in the dust at the Crispy Chateau ( asbestos, lead, chemicals, wood particles, silica, lime, cement, brick dust, rust, metal particles, gas residue, dog
tit, mold, etc.) Dan normally uses zero protective eyewear, respiratory equipment, etc.
From the Centers for Control in the United States on construction dust:
Construction dust can cause serious damage to workers’ health and life-threatening diseases. Construction workers can be exposed to many types of dust, such as silica, wood, and lead dust. Workplace exposure to small particles of silica dust, also known as respirable crystalline silica, can lead to serious diseases, including silicosis, a progressive lung disease marked by scarring and thickening of the lung tissue; lung cancer; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); and kidney disease.

What Happens if You Inhale Concrete Dust and/ or lime dust?

Asthma
COPD
Bronchitis

Bronchiolitis obliterans
Inhaling concrete or lime dust dust can also worsen pre-existing respiratory conditions. This is because the particles are so small that they can get lodged deep inside the lungs.
Health risks with lime dust:
Respiratory Issues
Inhaling high levels of fine particulate matter from any source can cause respiratory irritation such as coughing wheezing shortness breath chest tightness and lung damage over time.
Eye Irritation

Exactly but it all just falls on deaf ears.
My Uncle was an electrician and worked a lot in hospitals and other big institutions. Throughout his working life he'd come into contact with asbestos and god knows what else, back then noone wore protective gear and it ultimately was the cause of his death by asbestosis.
If Dan's not taking note of the many many warnings he's getting in his comments, together with the fact he is getting sick more frequenty then more fool him. You're a long time dead.
