Air Purifiers

So I live in a quad dorm (4 people) that has a bathroom/shower inside of it. The bathroom is right by my bed :@ so it is starting to bother me. We haven’t cleaned it since we’ve gotten here (6-7 weeks, I know, disgusting), so tomorrow I am going to force all my roommates to clean it with me. Any suggestions on what to use/how to go about this the fastest/least disgusting way possible? Last time I checked my roommates cleaning supplies (that have never been used, lol), he had Lysol toilet boil cleaner, Oust Air Sanitizer, 409 all-purpose spray, and swiffer sweeper.

I even called Oust and they say their air sanitizer may or may not do it. The lady didn’t really know, but I doubt it will.

which on of these do u recommend, price is not an issue

I get sinus/allergy-related headaches all the time. They are usually due to sinus pressure, but triggers include any unusual smell, such as recently laid tar, perfumes and colognes, even my hand sanitizer. Also, breathing in cold air gives me an instant head ache. As I describe it, the air is going up and feels like its freezing my brain. I get these head aches at least once a week and they are usually throbbing, light sensitive, temperature sensitive, and movement senisitive often accompanied with nausea.

I have tried taking all forms of prescription medications, such as Allegra-D, Zyrtec-D, and even behind-the-counter Claritin-D for my allergies, but to no avail.

I have been taking many different types of headache aspirins, but these work only about half the time. Moreover, I am afraid if I take aspirin too often and too regularly, it could be detrimental to my health.

Does anyone know of ways to ease headaches that is natural and can be used at the office? Not herbal, per se, but techniques that I can use to at least make the headache stop throbbing?

I’ve tried massaging my temples and massaging the pressure point between my thumb and index finger, but that doesn’t really help.

just yesterday I let my 2 cats out for a breath of fresh air. Before I could see what happened a local possum who had been roaming the apartment complex was walking along the way when my oldest cat (6yrs) natural hunter jumped up to quickly confront the possum. I saw the whole thing and the only thing that happened was my cat quickly clawed the possum who saw me to quickly proceed to be very nervous and break up the whole thing very quickly. the possum didnt react what so ever but my cat did bat her one good time on the side of the face area. The only thing I could think of was to apply watterless hand sanitizer using toilet parer on her claws very quickly. Does anyone know if this quick encounter should be concern for rabbies scare? I know that possoms supposedly arnet big carriers for rabbies but about a few months earlier there was a huge raccon roaming the premises which was suddenly replaced by this possum a few months later with no sign of the racoon anymore.
the possum was acting normal except for the fact that I was right up on them to distract any prolonged confrontation but the possum showed no fear whatsoever it was almost like me and my cat who was confronting it were not even there is this normal?

So, I’ve got a little baby girl, and we just moved to a new house, and I was picking out air purifiers for the house (I have asthma, so I’ve always found it so much easier to deal with to at least have a purifier in my bedroom). ANYWAYS, my mom said that taking out all of the things floating in the air would discourage my babies immune system from developing by not exposing her to anything.

Is this true? Do you have any experience with that?

My Mother-in-law has a boyfrined who has major OCD, it’s to the point where its not only effecting his life in negative ways but it’s also effecting her life. She is so wrapped up in not upsetting him and trying to make sure things are exactly the way he needs them to be that her world is getting smaller and smaller and it’s effected her relationship with her children and her grandchildren.
Her boyfriend’s OCD manifests it’s self in the form of obsessing over his cars, servicing his 3 cars and my mother-in-law’s car over and over again. He compulsively has to check the cars during the day and even in the middle of the night, it’s to the point that he can not hold down a job. He is also obsessed with germs, and conspiracy theories about the following: Mad Cow disease, chemical warfare, GMOs, and Bacteria created by the government. (super germs) This has gotten to the point that he will not eat my cooking because he believes I have too much red meat in my diet and therefore have Madcow disease.

Sadly all of the above has made my mother-in-law’s life hard, on her birthday we tried to go out for a "ladies nightout" thing and he called her every 15mins reminding her to use had sanitizer and use only paper and plastic cups because glasses at bars can be contaminated.
After that night he made her sleep on an air mattress for 4 weeks because he thought she might have brought something home, the problem is she goes along with it, and she does this all the time.

What is the best way to go about an intervention for her, how can we help her get out of this relationship and heal so that she does not get into another just like it? Please provide links if you can, thanks!
She has come to us for help, and she had confided in us that she feels trapped and she even left once but she feels guilty and always goes back.
I agree therapy is needed

Many of us have noted that a high number of individuals, especially children, have life-threatening allergies to allergens such as peanuts, shellfish, soy, pollen, dust, mould, animal dander, etc., the list goes on.

There is a growing epidemic of food and general allergies, which was not evident a few decades ago.

In the 1950s, how common was it to have a life-threatening allergy in which case one would go into anaphylactic shock from just looking at a peanut?

These days, we have banned peanut product from schools, asthma inhalers are the latest fashion accessories, and something as simple as smelling the flowers on a beautiful spring day sends one into a hacking, sneezing mess completed with watery eyes and gargled gasps for air.

Snuggle up next to your pet cat or dog, and your tongue swells up to the size of Texas, coupled with lovely red nickel-sized hives that is now spreading all over your arms and legs. Fido means death! Or just a very unpleasant and embarrassing visit to the ER, where old ladies gasp and little kids cry at the very sight of your bloated, ruddy self rushing into the waiting room with your hands around your throat, wheezing out unintelligeble pleas between asphyxiated gasps.

Is it a matter of compromised immunity thanks to our fanatical whip-out-the-hand-sanitizer- every-time-you-touch-a-doorknob ideals that is ever-so-present in today’s society? Are genetics at play? What are your thoughts on this phenemonen?
