I've been getting headaches and heartburn lately. I never get heartburn but I just noticed that its after I solder something. I got curious and googled something like solder smoke inhalation. I found that the smoke can cause this. Are any of you familiar with this? What do you do to stop it? Like a mask or a fan? Thanks.

Hm.
I've been soldering for about the past 20 years. Never really bothered with any special precautions. Truth be told, I kinda like the smell of 60/40 rosin-core solder.
