Why does the cool air coming out of my window unit a/c smell SO bad?
It's a Frigidaire 10,000 btu and is awesome. The MAJOR drawback is the smell of the air coming out of the unit when I turn the temperature up. When I have the unit on its coolest setting, it is perfectly fine, no nasty smell. But if I turn the temp up so that it doesn't blow as cold, the air that comes out STINKS!! I'm talking like the smell of stinky feet or funky cheese. I have tried using a dryer sheet in addition to the filter; but that has no effect. I have sprayed the filter with air freshener and cleaner with no luck. Please help me get rid of this nasty oder!!
3 AnswersOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoIt would be great to get advice from a medical professional!!?
I have been ill with vomiting and diarrhea for 10 days now. This includes 2 visits to the E.R. for severe symptoms and extreme dehydration 4 days apart. I have been given Zofran, Bentyl, Pepcid, Phenegren, Vicodin and Cipro. I have had abdominal x-rays and a C/T scan. I've had no real diagnosis, except for a urinary tract infection brought on by the diarrhea. I have no blockages. I do have swollen abdominal nymph nodes which may or may not be caused by my illness. The radiologist at the hospital recommended that I have another C/T scan in 3 months for a check up. Here's my issue: when first treated and released from E.R., after meds and fluids, I felt much better. The vomiting did stop. The diarrhea never did. I could not eat or drink without instant, uncontrollable liquid stool. After 4 days of this, I went back to the E.R. dehydrated and very weak. I was given fluids and more meds. I do feel some better. I am not as weak as I was; however I STILL have wicked diarrhea. It is getting more solid and more controllable. I am not taking any of the prescribed meds except for the Cipro. I have 2 more days of that. I just want to know what I can do to get back on my feet!! Food and drink still go right through me, not as quickly, but I still can't hold them very long. As a result, I have very little energy. I drink flat, warm Sprite, Gatorade, apple juice, lemonade, and water. I eat yogurt to try to help with the diarrhea and replace needed intestinal bacteria. I eat fresh fruit also simply because I crave it. Please give me any advice on what to eat, drink, or do to get back to feeling my best again. I would be ever so grateful!! This has got to stop. I don't have time to feel so bad!

6 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoBesides the difference in color, can someone please explain the difference between red and black raspberries?
Black raspberries are in season right now. I have never even tasted them. I could eat the red ones all day long. As far as taste goes, what's the difference? Should I bother with the black ones? I enjoy making homemade fruit desserts and preserving fruits for use in winter. Thanks for your help!
