For as long as I can remember I have been opposed to flying.
I know that other people are amazed with the experience with getting on a plane and jetting across the world.
Personally, I would rather stay on the ground where I have more control over my travel and my environment. This might sound extreme, but it makes a lot of sense when you have an indoor air quality phobia like I do. You see, I saw an expose on air travel and air quality many years ago that I can never forget. At the time, I was dealing with a lot of mysterious allergies that were crippling my life. Every day I woke up with itchy eyes, a scratchy throat, and a cough that I couldn’t control. When my air sensitivity began leaving me bedridden, I knew it was time to figure out my air quality problem. I embarked on a long journey of trial and error with my local HVAC repair shop. I was constantly calling in their top heating and cooling technician to install new purification devices, HEPA air filters, and upgraded HVAC devices. It took several years before we found the proper combination to control my indoor allergies. To this day, I do not take my indoor air quality lately. I know that I’m only a few airborne contaminants away from being extremely sick. That’s why, I will never get on an airplane if I can avoid it. Until they can improve the air quality on airplanes with high quality air purification systems, I’ll keep my feet rooted on the ground.
