I've heard mixed reports about the efficacy of those air filters. Does anyone here have any experience with them?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Had migraines in the last apartment too, but not of this frequency. Whatever it would be hangs out in the system for a while, because my weeklong Jamaican vacation was just as bad as being here.
So maybe not just this apartment, but much more so there.
I've been known to still react to things days after I am exposed to them.

I've heard mixed reports about the efficacy of those air filters. Does anyone here have any experience with them?
My parents use one in their bedroom, as does my brother (they all have severe allergies), and they've had good results. I'm very allergic to cats, and when I stayed at Deb Grabien's, she had (IIRC) 13 cats, pre-hardwood floors. She had an Ionic Breeze filter in the room where I slept, and my allergies didn't bother me a bit, which I was amazed at.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
never used one, but I have a friend that swears by them. She needs shots for allergies- the hepa filter in the bedroom gives her a place with some relief

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't speak for the Ionic Breeze but Target carries other, cheaper HEPA air filtration units. We have one in our bedroom and it helps DH's seasonal allergies.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm not sure this has any real news value, but I sure do love the headline:

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
TAR: Oh, no, Uchenna & Joyce! I wonder how much money they had for this leg. It seems like if they knew it was tight, they should have tried to book a backup flight out of Frankfurt.
Also, teams should neverchoose the random task. It never works out well where it's, like, the second item tried. But they always try, and then they give up and switch to the other task. It seems like it would almost never be a good choice to switch tasks.
What else? Oh, it's stuff like this that miffs me off. No wonder the other recycler wouldn't sell; they were working through his territory.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
According to the test I am normal but unhappy. Which is news to me, as my general mood tends to be cheerful if I'm not actively annoyed by something specific. Normal but lacking drive and motivation might be a more accurate assessment, and even that I'm working on what with the exercise and doing more artwork in my free time.
Today started off crappy, with broken sleep and waking up sore-thoated and stuffy. But a nap of several hours this afternoon, unexpected but welcome sex with a fairly hot guy, and half price all-you-can-eat Easter dinner at the Brazillian steakhouse resulted in some serious improvement as the day went on.

TAR: I know! I can't believe that they picked that flight when the other flight -- that most of the teams got on was not that much later. Also, how is it that Charla and Mirna were the only ones to get on that first flight? And, it didn't matter because the cookie task took them so long that they wound up behind anyway.
Also, I thought that the BQs used the Yield very well and using the Yield is in NO WAY cheating! (That's for Eric and Danielle and Charla and Mirna who were so self-righteous about NOT using the yield. I wonder if this means that they use one next time around?)
