stress...

I laughed last night when Holly Holliday on Glee said that she used to send hate mail to Tiffany (or was it Debbie Gibson?).  Tiffany (or Debbie) then wrote back to her saying the stress of the hate mail was causing her to get Alopecia. 

So today, I went looking. and here is what I found. I was thinking it was just something that happened to me out of dumb/bad luck.

Alopecia areata. A variety of factors are thought to cause alopecia areata, possibly including severe stress. With alopecia areata, white blood cells attack the hair follicle, stopping hair growth and making hair fall out.

I am hoping when my coworker is back from maternity leave, my stress levels will plummet.
