It’s a strange world out there: You may not like your job, but are you ALLERGIC to it? Damp environments, poorly maintained heating and air-conditioning systems and carpeting may contribute to poor indoor air quality that can make you sick. Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, where they are repeatedly exposed to indoor allergens and airborne particles that can lead to respiratory problems.

Researcher Doug Garrett says, “If there was just one thing I could do to fix buildings, it would be to change the relative humidity. Moisture leads to conditions that are conducive to dust mites and mold, as well as bacteria, yeast and other living organisms.”

Real or fake? – Science is discovering new things all the time. Scientists now say that hypnosis is “real” because they can pick up its effects on fMRI scans of people’s brains when they’re “under.”

While patients are under hypnosis, neuroscientists see decreased activity in the parts of the brain linked with daydreaming or letting the mind wander. One psychologist thinks that this reveals how hypnosis leaves patients open to suggestion. People who were not susceptible to being hypnotized did not have these brain patterns.
