Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 This was on the news recently. A study said that being home alot and isolated, not getting out, can cause you to develope a weakened immune system by almost 25%. Conclusion they come to unfortunately is probably wrong. They concluded that isolation probably led to depression or something, although study didn't apparently investigate that. Suggestion was that perhaps getting out and socializing more is good for your health. However clearly most likely answer would be home air pollution. Farmer's Lung is nickname given to aspergillus infection of lungs because number one victim are farmers. However number two victims are housewives. Seems they have totally ignored number two victims. Since Farmers would get it from infected crops or grains or hay sitting around, noone seems to have bothered to find out why housewives would be number two victim, or they know and have decided not to come clean about it. Could that be due to fear it would lead to mold hysteria and lots of homeowner claims to insurance agencies and lawsuits to builders? Hmmm, one wonders.
