At one time I had difficulty breathing at night. No matter whether at sea or ashore, window open or closed, airconditioning or not I found myself gasping for air.
Not being one to trouble the medical profession I just lived with it.
Then I joined a ship with a swimming pool. Being an enthusiastic swimmer in my youth this was an opportunity to do it again so I began doing laps of the pool every afternoon while playing Beethoven's violin concerto over the P.A. system (the last movement has a rhythm well-suited to the breast-stroke).
After a few days my nose started running excessively when I left the water and lo and behold my night-time breathing problem disappeared.
So whatever micro-organisms were in the water, drawn from all over from the English Channel around the Cape and to the far East they did me no harm rather the contrary.
