    A+ blood type. I have lived in several old houses and had to clean a shower full of mold with bleach before we moved in to one of them. I also spent many years 10+ years ago fighting a nuclear waste dump when I lived in New Mexico.

    The "B-type-is-more-associated-with-AI-diseases" theory seems to be taking a beating today!

    My husband is B +. He worked for Hughes Aircraft as prototype machinist, working with all kind of metals, many classified. Radars, the antenna for the space shuttle, parts for the stealth bomber, etc. I agree with gmyi

    Me too, so maybe it is A+ types that are more likely to have AI disorders; given our scientific poll of three!

    Just to be different... I am AB+

    As to what was the cause for WG for me I can only guess, however, we had moved into a newly converted 'barn' as a fancy office, you know all exposed beams and computers.

    They treated the beams with something or other and every day my desk and computer would be covered in a fine dust.

    The company secretary caught a nasty cold whilst on holiday abroad and kindly passed it on and that was pretty much the start of things for me.
