my title was “tech writer” but, in truth? was the person who would take the bullshit from sales & marketing, discussed the science with R&D then went to legal to massage the message that went into the knowledge-base.
the CEO & VPs were rabidly against the scripts legal wanted the reps to parrot 🧵…

at play? PATENTS.
companies like CP are too old to hold their original patent monopolies. this meant either buying companies with new patents or investing gobs of money in new R&D.

you have to understand the public health context of 1994: we are still at the height of the #AIDS #pandemic but, after 12 years of fascist antigay policy from Reagan and Bush, 1994 felt like a pivot towards destigmatizing the disease.
so some genius at CP thought it would be great for the company to pivot to “antimicrobial all the things!”

For allergies testing, my kids' allergist warned me that the technology isn't as good as we would hope. The standard scratch tests will give a lot of false positives. He himself tested positive for a dangerous level of peanut allergy, but eats peanuts without issues. So allergy tests were mostly used to confirm an allergy when they already have other evidence, e.g. "The patient was exposed to eggs and milk and had an allergic reaction, we will use the scratch test in the hope that only one or the other will test positive."
I'm just some random idiot parroting what I heard from a doctor a decade back, so I am probably getting the details wrong. That's my memory of the discussion.

in reply to firebreathingduck • • •@firebreathingduck I can affirm. I'm sensitive to an increasing number of things, but don't show up with a true allergy. My allergist told me to go by my reaction, not a test, then told me about another patient who didn't show up positive on a scratch test or blood test for shellfish, but coded when given a food challenge.
My ear drums and sinuses become inflamed now over soy, wheat, and nuts, and my digestive system is wrecked over oats. Good enough for me!

1. they most likely won't dry or irritate your skin if they don't have any SLS in the list
2. they have glycerin in the top 5 ingredients, preferably the second spot, after water (for most liquids).
3. though lanolin and glycerin are treated as analogs, they aren’t. if wool makes you itchy, sheep derived lanolin can trigger allergic reactions. so stick to glicerin products.
