Alaskan (yellow) spruce

I'm thinning a top of yellow spruce; I've not worked it before, and was surprised by the very distinct odor.
I also have not felt well for the two days I've been working on the top, and wondering if the dust from this particular yellow spruce may be affecting me whereas other woods does not seem to.
Is anyone else here unusually affected by the stuff?
Thanks


Edit: I meant yellow cedar, of course...

Well as a follow-up - I stayed out of the shop today and feeling much better until about 4 PST - went into the shop, played around a little, and then reacted to the dust in the air.
So next time I use yellow cedar I will know to take extra precautions.
