Interesting about the pollution/hard time breathing. I was diagnosed with asthma about 6 years ago...so its hard to sort out what is what. But, that is still really interesting.

It is hard for me to get to an area that isn't high in traffic from where I live without first going through high traffic. But, come to think of it, I did have an easier time breathing in Colorado small town.

I also wondered on my way home today (just got back) if I was maybe having heat rash? I don't have any more or less skin exposed on commutes than I do on my long rides---but on my commutes I don't usually have wicking clothes on (or clothes as breathable), and I have a backpack on... so maybe it makes me really hot??
do you get prickly heat? My cousin gets that, but I'm not exactly certain what it is.

If I go visit toronto for a week, I get sick. Same with visiting european cities. Or being around smokers. In grad school I lived on an apartment on the main road for 2-3 years and was sick a few times every winter - then I moved to one about a block or two off the main road for another 3 years and have hardly been sick every since.

As far as I know, I don't have asthma, but wouldn't be surprised if I have a mild form of it or something.
