We have allergens up here on @space_station just like on Earth. And when the CO2 gets high, it makes it worse. https://twitter.com/AbsintheGames/status/645295752609169408 … ”

BIGGEST SINGLE ISSUE IS IONIZATION OF OVERHEATED ELECTRONICS MAKING LIFE HARDER FOR THOSE WITH ALLERGIES. FAIRLY RECENT PHENOMENA.

I CAN’T TELL YOU DIRECTLY WHAT AND WHERE THE CAUSE IS, WITHOUT PUTTING MORE PEOPLE AT RISK IN ENTIRELY NEW AND DIFFERENT WAYS…

BUT IF IT’S ANY CONSOLATION – MUCOUS IN THE SINUSES ARE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

LIKE ALL SITUATIONS MIRED BETWEEN A LITTLE PAIN AND A WHOLE WORLD OF PAIN – SOMETHING IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING IS WRONG.

SHORT TERM SOLUTION IS TO BACK OFF FROM OVERHEATING ELECTRONICS BY KEEPING AS FAR A DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND IT – ESPECIALLY THE FANS COOLING THE EQUIPMENT. THAT SHOULD HELP, ALTHOUGH I DON’T HAVE A TRUE SENSE OF A WEIGHTLESS ENVIRONMENT TO GAUGE THE FLUID DYNAMICS BASELINE REFERENCES.

NOW THAT I’M THINKING ABOUT IT – REDUCE EXPOSURE TO MODERN ELECTRONICS THAT ARE BASED ON MORE EXOTIC ATOMIC PARTICLES EMITTED IN YOUR PROXIMITY QUITE A BIT OF TIME BEFORE TAKE-OFF. I BELIEVE THE SPACE STATION… LIKE THE OLD SPACE SHUTTLES ARE BASED ON OLDER PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES WITH LESS TOXIC CHEMICALS AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE. UNLESS THEY RECENTLY MADE. IN WHICH CASE… MOOT POINT.
