Why do I get ill everytime I kiss my gf?

Q: The first time I kissed her I got quite sick, with a fever and an orange yellow mucousy buildup in the back of my throat. Made out with her again and got sick again, only not so bad. This has now happened probably 5-10 times now of varying degrees, even after her tonsils were taken out.Now the sickness isn’t as bad. Perhaps I’ve built up a small immunity (or it has). But there is still a orange (worst), yellow (moderate) or light yellow w/ gray tint (least severe) thick, mucousy buildup in the back of my throat.After kissing it takes me about 7-14 days to beat it. Other symptoms are tonsil stones, a chalky film and bad breath. Her mild halitosis reminds me of this illness that terrorized me.Ive read this might be caused by a too much sulfurous bacteria in the back of her mouth; treatable by gargling with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and salt water. Any validity to this? Can anyone help? I’ve had enough; if we can’t find a solution then the relationship will probably have to end.

Help! My friend can’t sleep!!!?

Q: I have a friend who is plagued by horrible nightmares. She often wakes up gasping for breath and sweating profusely. This causes her to miss quite a bit of sleep, which as a full time student is a valuable commodity. She says that if you die in a dream you die in real life. ( I wouldn’t know because every time I’m killed in a dream, I never die – like I’m still “awake” in the dream and the people around me refer to me as dead. They’re like: “Too bad you’re dead.”) But I really need a seious answer to this question because my friend is doing everything she can to get some sleep. She listens to calming music, watches funny or happy movies before she goes to sleep (she even lets them play while she sleeps but that doesn’t help). Is there anything she can do to keep from having these dreams? What about the dieing in real life thing? Is that just a myth? She has no other sickness so I don’t think that she would die from a nightmare. Help! Seeing her freaked out is freaking me out!

A: According to Dreamcrowd:To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something. On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation. To see someone dying in your dream, signifies that your feelings for that person are dead or that a significant change/loss is occurring in your relationship with that person. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself that is represented by the dying person.Try posting your dream on Dreamcrowd for a free interpretation.

What could cause these symptoms?

Q: Our weanling colt has had runny eyes for a few days, but we just chalked this up to dust or wind irritation and cleaned his face off. However, his eyes this morning have started to get red around the edges as if they are more irritated, and are still having discharge after several days.Additionally, I noticed him a couple days wheezing slightly while eating. Not terribly loud or gasping, but enough so I thought it was odd. However, he was still eating quite happily and did not at all wheeze or get short of breath when he was asked to walk and trot around on the lead. However, this also seems to have gotten worse, but still only while eating, and just slightly.He has no other symptoms, no fever, no nasal discharge, and is perfectly lively to exercise.We have already contacted the vet about it, however, today is his day off so we will not hear until tomorrow.So that is not the advice I would like to hear, just want opinions on what it could be.My boyfriend is concerned he has a cold/flu, as he has not had this shot yet (more info on that below). I thought it would be atypical however, for these to present without nasal discharge or lethargy.He was given his first round of tetanus/west nile/sleeping sickness at the breeder, but she insisted we wait until he was at least 10 months old to get the rhino/flu shot. She stated that otherwise there could be a conflict between the immunity in the mother’s milk and the shot, and those vaccinations may never properly cover him. We had been paying for his shots and health care at this point, so it would not be an issue of her decieving us to save money. So he is now 7 months old, and has been weaned from his mother for somewhat over 3 weeks.Additional info you may need to make your judgement: he is fed Grow’n’Win, 3 coffee cups worth, twice a day, and has open access to as much grass hay as he wants, in addition to being allowed to graze on what green grass we have left in Kansas 24/7.Has as much water as he wants, a salt block, and a large shed to get out of the wind, but is not blanketed (temperatures reach around 25 at night, but he is pretty fuzzy).What do you think the vet might tell us?Again, I have already said he WILL be seeing the vet, as soon as one of our vets is available.Do not tell me he needs to see a vet, I know this and we are working on making it happen.I am looking for speculation as to what it could be only.BarnBabe… he does it while eating both hay and grain, and while grazing. Strangely, though, it doesn’t seem to happen if his head is up. We don’t have any problems with moldy/dusty hay, and it is stored covered.

A: Along with trying a fly mask, also try wetting his hay/grain. If there’s dust or anything in his food, it could cause him to wheeze…he might have mild asthma or allergies to something
