Mystery workplace allergy cured by working from home

When the station at the South Pole reopens for the first of the summer crew the winter-over crew invariably comes down with the crud. Sometimes it’s just other people and their germs. Several friends have had health issues related to the buildings they worked in. I noticed a huge reduction in long-term irritative coughs once I stopped making bread 6 nights a week, thus reducing my exposure to fine particulates.
