From the European Space Agency (ESA) blog: The “lunar hay fever”, as NASA astronaut Harrison Schmitt described it during the Apollo 17 mission created symptoms in all 12 people who have stepped on the Moon. From sneezing to nasal congestion, in some cases it took days for the reactions to fade. Inside the spacecraft, the dust smelt like burnt gunpowder. What a headache insignificant specks of dust will pose for the planners of future lunar bases. Airlocks will need to be designed so they keep Moon dust well away from the inhabitants of a base.
