I think I'm allergic to my Apple Mac
Transcript
I think I'm allergic to my Apple Mac. Just had a massive lightbulb movement and I think I know what's causing my eczema. From November last year, I started working fully at home on my Apple Mac three days a week. Every time I go away, eczema starts to clear up. I think I'm allergic to my Apple Mac. Of course, I've been googling, I've been on Reddit and people are saying the same thing. Today, I'm doing another little eczema experiment. I've got my wired keyboard, my Bluetooth mouse, and I'm not going to touch the Apple Mac. And we are going to see if this starts to clear up today.
