I think a mutual stand down would be a good idea here.
Here is one data point for both of you. In my younger days, I was Navy submariner. I lived 24 hours a day for literally months at a time in a closed atmosphere that was generally >5000 ppm CO2. It did give me headaches, which were temporarily abated on the rare occasions we could go to periscope depth and ventilate the boat. To the best of my knowledge, however, it did not have any other ill effects on me, then or since.
I personally would not worry about the CO2 levels caused by nearby wildfires. Airborne particulates (i.e. soot) would probably be a greater danger.
