Sometimes, the best advice a doctor can give you is this: relax. It’s no secret that stress isn’t just unpleasant, but more and more studies are proving that it’s actually downright dangerous to your health. In fact, when you say, “man, this stress is killing me,” you could be more right than you know.
This is nothing new, but it bears repeating. I’ve had a particularly crazy week, and so this topic occurred to me as I tried to juggle a nearly impossible schedule. I’m sure you know exactly what I mean.
When I say “stress,” it’s important that I don’t just mean stress with a capital “s” (i.e., losing your job, divorce, major illness, etc.). The little, gnat-like stresses that gnaw at us nearly every day and at every turn of modern life—long lines, minor workplace politics, noisy neighbors, and bad traffic—can be just as brutally devastating to your health. Like lots of bad things, it’s not the ones and twos … it’s that the ones and the twos that add up to fours, fives, sixes, and tens. Stress is cumulative.

It’s a disease called Morgellons, and incidences of it are growing so rapidly that the Centers for Disease Control has commissioned a study to try and find out what it is and where it’s coming from.
I don’t need a study to tell you where it’s coming from.
