I'm sorry you had such a negative experience. I would suggest you 
refrain from visiting rural areas if it has such an effect on you.

I take it you have some studies that show that people who experience an 
start upon awakening and experience a BP and pulse rate increase of 40% 
to 60% as well as elevated cortisol levels have shown no long term 
negative effects from this repeated stress exposure? Or do you not any 
studies to show that your opinions are just inherently correct? Maybe 
you should read studies on awakening cortisol responses and its effects 
on health so you can post an informed opinion rather than clever nonsense?
