If You Always Have A Stuffy Nose, There’s A Reason Why (And It’s So Gross)

Having a runny nose is the absolute worst, especially outside of cold and flu season.

It can feel like they show up for no reason, and stuffy noses seem to go on and on forever. Thanks to scientists, we now know what might be causing some of this out-of-season congestion, and it’s not pretty. But don’t worry. There’s a simple way to fix this common problem.

Scientists say that if you have a pillow that’s more than two years old, up to 10 percent of it is made of dust mite feces and dead skin cells. Gross!

Dust mites themselves are actually harmless to humans. You can help prevent them by leaving your bed unmade in the morning, revealing cold sheets, but you probably won’t ever get rid of them all.

What does cause problems is an enzyme in the mites’ poop, which many people are allergic to. This is what’s causing the runny nose and itchy eyes.

Llamas Lead Authorities On Chase Through Arizona Streets, Capture America’s Heart

Llamas for life. They’ve been rounded up, but their legend lives on.

Two llamas on the lam captured hearts and minds across the U.S. as they led a sheriff’s posse on a chase through the streets of Sun City, Arizona.

Via abc15.com

The llamas ran free in a roughly 20-minute chase that soon gained them fans across the country.


Local news station ABC 15 covered it live from the air.

The llamas tore through yards and shut down highways as the hapless Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office posse trying to corral them looked on.

Authorities tried to lasso the llamas multiple times, but the adorable escapees consistently broke free.

After becoming separated, the black llama was lassoed by a man. Its friend trotted on without its fallen comrade.

Eventually, the white llama also got lassoed.


Its captors raised their hats in the air in a victory celebration.

Lt. Brandon Jones of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said that the llamas were participating in animal therapy at an assisted living facility when they escaped, AzCentral.com reported.


Authorities believe the llamas got spooked when the door to the trailer they had arrived in opened. They said there was a third llama in the trailer, but it did not escape.

Sheriff’s officials tried to corral the llamas, but were unsuccessful.

They were eventually lassoed by onlookers.

“If it weren’t for (their help) we wouldn’t have been able to catch them,” Jones told AzCentral.com

They may be captured, but their spirit will live on forever.

This Corgi Is All Of Us When We’re Trying So Hard…But Just. Can’t. Make It.

I like to pretend that I know what I’m doing 99.9 percent of the time, but behind the scenes, I’m a total hot mess.

Don’t get me wrong, I always try my best and approach things with a positive mindset, but sometimes reality sets in and I fall flat on my face. What can I say? I’m human. We’re only midway through the week and although I can see rest and relaxation at the end of the tunnel, the struggle is REAL, my friends.

Let me be the first to admit that I can relate to this corgi pup on a spiritual level.

Run like your life depends on it. There are only two more days ’til the weekend.
