Health - 14 September 2006

Aside from the obvious of keeping windows closed, especially during high pollen count days, can anyone kindly explain exactly how AC lessens allergy symptoms. I have heard AC 'cleans' the air; the coolness helps allergies, etc. Is this true?
I have never seen a more detailed explanation and was wondering if there is one? I try to explain to others that AC does help but seem to lack details as to why. Thanks for your help!

Ok- I am 16 years old; and i am a highschool student. I go to school at 7am, and get out of school at 3pm. I work as a receptionist in an urgent care center from 4pm to 12am on weekdays; and then on the weekends I waitress in a hotel resort- sometimes i help clean rooms or do other odd jobs. I am sooo busy with work and trying to keep up with school, and i think i am getting overwhelmed. I hardly have time to sleep and i end up missing out on social events. I cant just quit- because i have alot of financial obligations already. I have to make car payments, i am sponsoring a child in egypt, and my mother was single while i was growing up and she never had time to set aside a college fund for me-now i have to make that up by the end of next year. There are just so many other things that i have to pay for quitting is just not an option. I was really sick today; and i was worried about missing so much and i just got to thinking- Is it normal to feel this stressed allllllll the time?!?!

I am 17 and stress effects me a ton. I hate it. How does it effect you. Does it make you cry? Do you get really tired when you are stressed out. Do you get a headache when you are stressed. How does it effect you. It kills me. But I seem to be the only one. So I thought I'd see if I really was. LOL
