Sitting in Inclusive Eating in Palmy eating a lovely cheese scone along with a flat white. I asked about the name of the place and was told that it's about offering options for those who have to avoid certain ingredients. Their approach is that, no matter what #allergy or #foodintolerance someone might have, they'll have something that they can eat and enjoy safely (and even sit down with a diner to understand how they can accommodate their needs.

If you need to have any #allergy: don't choose the #sun. After 10 years I can honestly attest that it's not great.

It's severity always fluctuates a bit. This year, the few moments sunscreen doesn't work ideally where enough to send me to the doctor 🥲. So now I'm walking covered in UPF50+ clothes.

A notable observation.

In an animal model, rare pseudo-allergic reactions to #mRNA vaccines were fully prevented by administering a COX inhibitor, such as the NSAID #ibuprofen.

Servant’s optometrist gave minion a tube of Optase night time dry eye lubricant. It worked pretty well. Awoke without sandman eyes. And decent vision which lasted until wheelie bins were schlepped. Triffids pollen took him then.

Doc Strabismus says about 3 months to resolve, maybe with cyclosporine drops.

Disappointed to find that ‘Brioche’ from most supermarkets is no longer something made with butter - it’s mainly pea proteins and other UPF rubbish.

🧑‍🍳 Problem and Solution
One of the retirement home cooks is young, inexperienced, and has no imagination and because of my many food allergies she struggles with preparing my meals.
For example, she doesn't know how to cook a soup, sauce or stew, without wheat flour or corn starch, or make a soup without using a commercial powdered soup base.
I went to management and suggested they allow me to use the kitchen . Board of Health rules say No because I don't have a Food Handlers Certificate.
I just checked and discovered that for only $35.00 I can take a government approved online course and exam through provincial Public Health. I checked one of the chapters about microbes and food borne illnesses--it's basic high school biology. This should be easy.

There's almost always a solution to every problem.

(I wonder if the home will hire me when staff calls in sick at the last moment. Rent reduction?😂 )

Okay, this is not the form for this, but I don't think there is a good one since I don't have a #dermatologist on tap. How do you tell the difference between some kind of #allergy triggered rash, #Eczema, and allergy-triggered eczema, when it's under your hair? I don't think I'm suddenly allergic to my hair stuff after months of using the same things. It's something else, but how do I figure it out without a whole referral to a #dermatologist thing? 50-50, they just say, "oh, you're allergic to something" and then you have a couple thousand dollars on your bill. 😭

The new nasal spray should be available this summer and shelf life is 30 months. (my epipens expire after 12 months)

Is antibacterial or regular hand soap best for killing germs?

Cleaning up our disinfectants: usage of antimicrobial biocides in direct-to-consumer products in Australia Open Access

"In supermarkets and chemists worldwide, consumers are faced with an array of antimicrobial domestic cleaning and personal hygiene products purporting to kill germs and keep people safe. Many of these proven active ingredients (biocides) encourage the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microbes and microbial populations, in turn increasing the likelihood of AMR infections. In order to understand and address the selective pressure towards AMR posed by the unrestricted use of biocides, it is necessary to understand which biocides are most frequently found in consumer products and the current regulatory framework that governs their use. In this research we survey the biocidal active ingredients in the major categories of cleaning and personal care products available from supermarkets and pharmacies in Australia, and comment on the regulations that dictate how these products are tested and marketed. Benzalkonium chloride and ethanol were the two most prevalent antimicrobial biocides in this study, while triclosan, which is banned in several jurisdictions, was found in a small number of products. In Australia, many antimicrobial consumer products are regulated for efficacy and safety under the Therapeutic Goods Act, but the potential to drive microbial adaptation and AMR is not considered. Overall this survey underscores the broad use and light regulation of antimicrobial biocides in products available to the general public in Australia, and provides an information resource to inform further research and stewardship efforts." >>

Is antibacterial or regular hand soap best for killing germs?

Washing hands after using the toilet or patting a dog before a meal is crucial to remove feces-borne bacteria and germs. After COVID the message got through to most people. When one is in town looking for a public amenity or a cafe toilet, it is rare to find hot water, hand soap and a clean (paper) towel. But there is always a toilet spray in 1001 fragrance varieties.

In the absence of the ingredients for basic hand hygiene there is always a free plastic bottle of hand sanitizer since the last pandemic. Staff at grocers, bakers and cafes copiously cover their hands in the "antibacterial" and "antiseptic" products. Every product or packaging absorbs the persistent fragrance of the bought items and travels back into the home. The cost-effective chemical 'solution' does not substitute for hot water, soap and a towel.

"Professor Griffin says products claiming to kill bacteria are "not necessarily substantiated as being any better than just usual soap and water would be...These additives can be harsh and lead to dryness and cracked skin, which can create a pathway for germs to enter the body."

'Regular hand soap is very effective in removing potentially harmful pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites), according to our experts. So, using that water, soap and that pneumatic action to get all of the dirt and grime from your hands and then rinsing is going to be more than adequate to keep you healthy."

"Our experts say there have also been studies suggesting that the use of soaps with antimicrobial additives can contribute to antibiotic resistance, which is problematic." >>
