Learned an interesting fact today... Its kind of common sense iff you have a persistent and powerful cough it can irritate your lungs but when the outside lining of you lungs become irritated it can produce sharp chest pains that don't seem related to breathing or coughing at all.

I've had a horrible cough for about a week or two with spells that last for a minute or more and cause me to get light headed or grey out (obviously POTS related). Last night it got worse to the point that I began vomiting and then started having pains across my chest and occasionally down into my stomach as well. Reluctantly I talked myself into going to the ER and after Iabs and X ray as well as (thankfully) 2L of saline that's what was explained to me.

Sigh. After a week of me #coughing & going through tissues at a great rate, last night I #tested #positive for #RSV.

Me, being me, had never even heard of it.

Sigh. It’s just after 5am, let’s see what fun life has in store for me today.

"May?" The sky is already a strange yellow hue, I'm #coughing and #eyes are #burning

Simulating a Sneeze

Sneezing and coughing can spread pathogens both through large droplets and through tiny, airborne aerosols. Understanding how the nasal cavity shapes the aerosol cloud a sneeze produces is critical to understanding and predicting how viruses could spread. Toward that end, researchers built a “sneeze simulator” based on the upper respiratory system’s geometry. With their simulator, the team mimicked violent exhalations both with the nostrils open and closed — to see how that changed the shape of the aerosol cloud produced.

The researchers found that closed nostrils produced a cloud that moved away along a 18 degree downward tilt, whereas an open-nostril cloud followed a 30-degree downward slope. That means having the nostrils open reduces the horizontal spread of a cloud while increasing its vertical spread. Depending on the background flow that will affect which parts of a cloud get spread to people nearby. (Image and research credit: N. Catalán et al.; via Physics World)

By the by, if you use your dishwasher to clean glass jars and bottles before putting them in the recycling, make sure to rinse out any spicy stuff as well as you can beforehand.

If you don’t do that, you’ll end up with a dishwasher that’s basically full of CS gas, at least if your spouse doesn’t know this and then puts in a jar with some jerk sauce left in it.

On the upside, now she’s not a big fan of the cops tear gassing protestors.
