This is really interesting. Because i just had some blood tests and have a white-blood-cell count of about 200% compared to "normal". I never have and have had problems with my mood, even before i moved into the woods, i now live in.

But my gal: She has worse counts and sometimes is "moody". Maybe a coincidence or statistical aberration nobody can explain.... hmmmm

I read in a book that trees exhale these "terpenes" that activate the immune-system and push the white-blood-cell count. That is why she spends a lot of time at my house.

TL;DR: Where actually is our hidden correlation that can describe this contradiction ?
