I was thinking last night about my post to sailpappy in what triggered my CH's in Biloxi and other such areas, just a theory, but the entire area is swamp, I have heard of swamp gases generated as the result of decay, this was in November, the temps were in the 80's the trees were bare and with warm temps, dead vegetation, the scenario is correct for swamp gas generation, hydrocarbons are very active little bastards and once in the bloodsteam, well, I would have to leave it to the biochemists in this site, also, these pollutants are heavier than air, by picking motels high up on a hill or staying on the highest floor has reduced my CH's considerably, when I stayed in Chicago, I was downtown, I think at the Hilton on the 40th floor, no headaches for me up there.
