  1. Big Picture Science for May. 18, Allergy Reason

    REPEAT
    Runny nose. Itchy, watery eyes. Sneezing. If you don’t have allergies, you probably know someone who does. The number of people with allergies, including food allergies and eczema, is increasing. What is going on?

    A medical anthropologist describes how our hygiene habits, our diets, and our polluted environment are irritating our bodies. Also, the case for skipping your shower. Is skin healthier when we stop lathering?

    Guests:

    * James Hamblin – Preventive medicine physician and a lecturer in public health at Yale and author of Clean: the New Science of Skin
    * Theresa MacPhail – medical anthropologist, professor of science and technology studies at Stevens Institute of Technology and author of Allergic: Our Irritated Bodies in a Changing World.

  6. optase.com/product/hylo-night/
    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.

  11. And after I switch #T-Mobile to Visible Pro Plus, I will have significantly reduced my monthly bills. By a few hundred dollars!! Time to take care of that shit huh? I hate dealing with #money because it's such bullshit. It has been an #allergy my whole life. I've always treated it with disdain.

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

    #allergy #UPF

    Food with long ingredients lists are like the AI of food.

  15. 🧑‍🍳 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?😂 )

  22. 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. 😭

  27. 😮‍💨 whew. What a relief--those epipen needles are thick in diameter, go into the muscle, and hurt like heck!

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