Beware the Pogonip!

Definition: The word pogonip is a meteorological term used to describe an uncommon occurrence: frozen fog. The word was coined by Native Americans to describe the frozen fogs of fine ice needles that occur in the mountain valleys of the western United States in December.

Native tradition says breathing in this fog can injure your lungs. Could that be true?
