Living in a city, a lot of people will tell you that the commute is killing them, however unluckyly, for me, this wasn’t just a turn of phrase, however my commute was honestly killing me, day by day and air vent by air vent, but you see, for about a year I had been experiencing exhausting respiratory distress, i would start out perfectly superb in the day, however by the time I got to work everyday, it felt like I should be in the hospital with pneumonia.
I was coughing out a lung, unable to catch my breath, and hacking so strenuous that I saw stars. I often had a grueling migraine that accompanied, and sometimes I even got feverish. Usually, after several hours of being at work, my respiratory symptoms would subside and I could get some tasks completed. By the time I got house again, however, all of my respiratory concerns were back… Well, thanks to this government-mandated quarantine, I finally know what was going wrong with my respiratory system. My car’s air conditioner was leaking freon and making me harshly sick, then apparently, at some point down the line, the refrigerant line busted on the AC system in my car, however then, every time I ran the cooling system, the toxic fumes were circulating straight through my air vents and into my face, then since my day and afternoon commutes involved kneeling in the car for hours with the AC blasting to combat the pounding sun overhead, these trips consistently annoyed my lungs the most. When I finally got a chance to sit at house in the comfort of my central Heating & A/C system and ditch the warm commute, it became crystal clear that I was suffering from the car cooling system, itself, but glad my pal and I cleared up the mystery of that mild poisoning.
