Bad air / pollution / bad bolts / etc

Felt terrible in Tynings on Wednesday from the bottom of the 2nd pitch, breathing much heavier than normal. Swildons this evening, fine to the double pots, but beyond the 2nd cascade towards sump 1 felt almost immediately terrible. Not having a good summer for being effected by bad air, curious to know if anyone else has noticed bad air in Mendip caves over the last few weeks or if its just my body malfunctioning, everyone else on this evenings trip was fine, its just very odd to go from fine to not feeling fine so quickly and to feel markedly better once beyond the point I started to feel not fine!
