@Trala jeez, now I feel emasculated lol. There's plenty of men who don't enjoy the company of spiders.
DWC (deep water culture) is a form of hydroponics where the plants are submerged constantly in water and given oxygen to the roots by an air pump.
I was only diagnosed with asthma around two years ago and my doctor was upset that it went unnoticed for so long.
I did an allergy test and the nurse told me I was allergic to my cat but in reality it just seemed like she was trying to rush me out of there the whole time. It was a day where the doctor couldn't make it because of the weather and she placed that cat test right next to the histamine one which is a trigger for anyone... Had I not told her I have a cat prior to the test who knows what would've happened. But that's me being skeptical.
I said is that it? she said 'oh maybe sweet grass' and added it too just to appease me lol.
To be honest my cat doesn't bug me so much and I love her too much to avoid her even the slightest.
My biggest trigger was always the tobacco but they couldn't test for it apparently.
Honestly, I haven't needed the puffers since I quit smoking. I know I should be keeping up with the preventative one but only the rescue inhaler ever helped (salbutamol). I tried spiriva, symbicort and some other one.
Sorry for the giant rant, I do agree with you that it's probably best that I don't smoke and switch to vaping or edibles.
I think it's mainly a money and availability thing - which hopefully gets alleviated a bit with growing my own cannabis.
