This really IS ridiculous--these are all PHYSICAL stresses.  It has
been LONG known that stress plays a role in disease.  (Even the
Aggies know that stressed PLANTS are more likely to contract disease.)

factors.  Geez, I would like to give you guys a serious listen,
but--get a hold of yourselves!!!
