💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧬💉 #Tattoo ink triggers an immune response the moment it enters the skin, with pigment particles lodging permanently in the dermis and sometimes traveling to #lymphnodes.
A medical microbiologist explains that many modern inks contain industrial pigments and heavy metals, and the largely unregulated industry leaves consumers to navigate risks on their own.

Dear Trees: Leave me outta your freaky Reproduction Sessions.
It's that time of year when I desperately wish that all the Tree Sex didn't have to involve the holes in my face consistently leaking.
Dammit.

CW: Switching back to loose tea
Found out that the non-plastic tea bags I had been using from Numi and Traditional Medicinals both contain banana-related plant fibers (Manila hemp and abaca, respectively) and are probably not a good idea for someone with latex food allergy syndrome.
I was trying to find a good brand of loose organic Darjeeling tea and found a couple of options - Denise's Fine Tea and Golden Moon Tea. I'll probably go with Denise's since it is based in BC and the item cost is lower (per ounce is similar) so cheaper to try.
Golden Moon's web site says all tea bags are coated in plastic - I don't know if it's true -

Good Morning #Canada
When we moved to the Barrie/Innisfil area last year we didn't realize that we would flirt with a record snowfall accumulation (482 cm), or that Innisfil would be ranked #1 in the worst roads in Ontario (CAA poll). And now, according to Aerobiology Research Laboratories, Barrie is ranked #3 in the worst cities to live in Canada if you have pollen #Allergies. If you want to avoid allergies, move east... or to Regina.#CanadaIsAwesome #AaaChoo

Ancient #DNA tests the notion that #allergies are due to our dirtier past
#Genes for #immunity forged in a #germ-filled past are often blamed for making our bodies overreact to harmless triggers such as pollen or food. But evolution may not be so one-sided.
Finding challenges long-standing idea that modern allergies are simply the price we pay for immune systems tuned to a dirtier past. Its “too simplistic,” says evolutionary geneticist Will Barrie

NYC tree pollen = High (3 of 5); ragweed pollen = Low; grass pollen = High... Apparently wind makes it all worse. Change clothes when returning from outdoors(!)
LOL You can click-through and see that they warn the risk of outdoor pests and mosquitos = High

RE: https://zeroes.ca/@Rhyothemis/116642607929922337
I had been thinking about trying creatine again and reading about the myelin-brain energy metabolism story nudged me to actually do it. So yesterday I took 3g of creatine. I had tried it years ago, but I thought it increased my allergy symptoms. There was a study* that found that it increased symptoms in soccer players with allergic asthma, so it seems possible it could do that. However, I usually try supplements multiple times since there are so many things that could influence my reactivity.
I think I slept better than usual last night, though I was a bit groggy when I first woke up this morning.
Unfortunately, my esophagus was more reactive than normal this morning.
This is disappointing since my nephew says that taking creatine has reduced his migraine frequency.
I am taking collagen peptides, which contains a lot lof glycine. Glycine supplementation can boost endogenous creatine synthesis. Maybe that will work for me.

Just attempted to make the garden a little less overgrown.
Still rather warm out there and hay-fever is kicking off good style.

💧🧬 Aquagenic urticaria is an extremely rare condition where #skin contact with #water triggers painful hives.
Researchers believe a substance on the skin reacts with water to release histamine. Interestingly, those affected can still drink water safely because their internal digestive systems don't trigger this specific immune response.
