Stress on the body causes an increase in blood pressure, no matter what form it takes- whether it is environmental, biological, or emotional.
As it turns out, one operation – that causes bad stink – common in many countries checks the box on all three kinds of stress in a major way and makes your blood pressure skyrocket.
Researchers in North Carolina conducted a study of 100 people over the course of 2 years who live near pig farms.
Not just any pig farms, though…they were concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs. These mega-farms house and slaughter tens of thousands of pigs and have been increasingly taking the place of the smaller, healthier family-owned farms in many locations across the globe.
What the researchers found was that all three kinds of stressors were hit with exposure to the farms.
The irritability from noise and odor, environmental impact on air and water with the constant influx of elevated hydrogen sulfide levels, and biological impact of the many chemicals within the body all played a part in the elevated numbers.
Both systolic and diastolic numbers went up when the odors were the strongest, based upon participant journaling and daily blood pressure measurements.
Researchers found that the negative feelings associated with the odor were affecting the diastolic number (the bottom number which measures pressure on the arteries between heartbeats). It increased by at least 2 mm/Hg on average.
The impact on systolic (top number which measures pressure on the arterial walls during a heartbeat) was on average increased by 3 mm/Hg with EACH increase in hydrogen sulfide of 10 parts per million.
Hydrogen sulfide is the chemical that smells like rotten eggs and is released when manure breaks down.
Inhaling the hydrogen sulfide and myriad other chemicals that are released into the air has also been shown to increase the rates of asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

WE live in a system that seeks to kill you in many, many ways. If it is not war, or the threat of war, it is through the contaminated water supply, or the processed, chemicalised, poisoned food chain. Then there is the air we breathe, with contaminants without number, with a little radiation from over six hundred nuclear power plants, and over 2,000 nuclear detonations since 1945, and the proliferation of depleted uranium, and, and, which with the chem sprays that the global mafia are putting into the atmosphere. Add to that the responsibilities of everyday life, the fear of unemployment, going bankrupt, crime, taxes, sickness, the smell from a pig farm is small fry compared to trying to survive, 'survival' being the operative word, in this corrupt, oppressive, polluted, world.
The only people who DON'T have blood pressure are the dead.
I full agree Michael ! theres only one more thing that suffers as a result from all the above factors, and that is stressed out people who cause stressed out relationships and marriages….. A lot to live with if this is all people depend upon. I have learned how to depend upon my creator, God, who prophesied all this due to mans greed and neglect of his enviroment. Man wants the short cuts and instant results. Power struggles resulting in wars and so on,,,, ad infinitum.. so Basically our planet is busy dying !! and a new earth wlil be created in due season by the same God , who will reign Himself with His believers and His Son Jesus Christ. sorry ! but quick fixes are over ! Jesus Christ is the only Way out for the whosoever, who believes He is the Saviour of the world…
Best not to collude with the system more than needed.
Go Veggie,get politically active {VOTE] & talk to friends and family about the things that worry us all.Better a ‘tin foil hat’than a coffin too early!
Internalising stress is what happens when people live alone- as many do today.
The internet and all the good info is helping to wake people up from their lethargy and being semi-content[?]victims of modern political fixes.
I live within several miles of “factory dairy farms”. It is routine for them to spread manure over acres and acres periodically. And as you can imagine, the smell is teriffic. I have high blood pressure and I guess this situation may influence it somewhat. Easy to commiserate with the pig farming neighborhood.
I just feel so sorry for the poor abused pigs.
i suffer from astma, when i told the doctor that the smell from pigs made it worse he thought i was joking and laughed.
I have a friend who takes drugs occassionaly
but everytime he takes & i can tell from the behaviour he projects
The urine test comes out as negative , But his breath smells putrid .
i wondered at times if he takes some sulphur type of diuretics to camouflage the urine readng.
please let me know if you have any info on that
thanks
The world is dying daily and hence the pigs are not the one reason why the world must be cribbing about.I think in India power and money are creating more pigs and hence elevating the BP of the common man.
Lets get back to the family farm.
This is a bunch of “bull crap”….Stress us what causes HBP…I should know, I have HBP, especially when I get “stressed”…it goes away when one calms down…and I live on a farm…but the “smell” never got to me…I’d rather smell the farm smell instead of some chemical or raunchy perfumish smells from humans….
Michael Cook-chillax-dont let the man get in your head-d what you can
Simple. Stop eating meat, fish, dairy, eggs, refined carbohydrates, and refined oils. We would quickly stop a lot of animal and human suffering. Not only that, we'd all be much healther, with virtually no heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative diseases. Health care costs would plummet.
My link to here shows NOTHING to read about any "stink."
Look for the things that create healthy vibes, you know there out there.
Hope someone from Blue Heron Straightens this out. Looks like they got spoofed
Find a good natural detox kit. Most health stores do them. Hydrogen sulphide is a toxin like many others. Detoxification is essential for modern day living. These hurdles were sent to test us which means we have to do something about them. Many toxins cause vitamin or mineral deficiencies & we have to make up for them somehow – naturally of course. As for the stink; consider fume extraction or move house. At least buy a detox kit.
Well said Michael Cook, well written too, this is exactly the problem that faces all of mankind and will only get worse as time goes on. However what to do to put a stop to it. Eliminate the worst perpetrators of this pollution, get rid of the most dangerous species on the planet that cause all of the problems. The Animal Kingdom do not create problems that Mother Earth cannot fix & everything must have been fine before Homo Sapien walked the planet……?
No matter what we suggest it is akin to shutting the stable gate after the horse has bolted, we are all on a very slippery slope and to stop eating animals will only send those who rely on the trade, broke. To stop pollution from coal fired power stations will cause untold hardship to those aged and infirm who need their supply of electricity. Nuclear will cause more trouble than we need, wind power is already being touted as the next big problem as it affects those who live adjacent to wind farms. Even if we stopped all plastics manufacturing tomorrow, the plastic pollution in our seas will take a million years to overcome and then you have those who invest billions of dollars in new technology that creates more pollution in order to have an even bigger more wealthy income. Living near a pig farm of sewage works isn’t going to put and end to blood pressure, just being a memeber of the ever growing Human Race is the biggest problem facing the Human Species on Earth. Those who know how bad things are right now and are aware of how bad present pollution has getting since the modernisation of our world as we know it are looking to go to another planet. Mars is supposed to be the next place in our solar system that might just support life, well, guess what, that isn’t going to happen either, we’re al stuck with the hopelessness of what has been created on Mother Earth. Get used to it, thank your lucky stars that you are living in the world of today 1023, because the future hold a whole lot more problems that mankind will not be able to overcome………stop the world I wanna get off ?
