Tris I think you are referring to an acid, ammonia smell which is from your ingredients being mostly green, and the manure too. I don’t think there is a health risk from it.
The farmers’ lung you mention is from mouldy old straw which smalls acrid and has harmful spores if inhaled, so avoid any of that.
Next time I would look to add more bedding and less actual manure.
