Everyone knows that if you feel lousy and don’t know why, you should try going to a doctor or therapist. Anecdotal evidence is making me think that another part of your algorithm should be “if you feel lousy and don’t know why, spend a few nights sleeping in an AirBnB.”

I have no idea how common environmental pollutants are, but I’ve just had two friends in the last few months whose nonspecific symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, etc) disappeared when they spent a few nights away from their homes.

Do you think that this is a pollutant in the environment like a physical thing? To me, it sounds like its more of a mental reset where you can step away from the habits & thoughts you've formed centred around your environment, and get a "clean break" with your thinking.

The psychological break is a thing too, but no, I think there’s real environmental pollutants. Checking for literal toxins is basically never done as part of a diagnostic workup for depression or other “normal” ailments; I suspect we under-detect it.

I don’t know anything about environmental safety regulations, but in general regulation is a blunt instrument; I expect there are rules that needlessly ban low-risk materials *and* there are high-risk materials that are perfectly legal.
