I guess that explains a few things.

Remember all those detox reactions I was having over the last year and a half, while my weight fluctuated because of exercise/not eating/stress?

"...you are an extremely lucky person not to have encountered 409 in any of our labs in the last year and a half as it is our primary cleaner and is used daily in many of our rooms." --U.C. Davis Computing Labs Safety Coordinator

Huh.

The classrooms aren't cleaned with it, so I didn't expect the computer labs to be any different.

...



On the bright side, maybe now I won't keep getting random "detox reactions" anymore.

well, that does explain a lot.

but will they switch?

They're actively looking into alternatives. I've been asked for more information on several things -- including which labs I use "to help in the short term" -- and I sent back a reply on Friday afternoon. I should hear something within a week or so.

I'm starting to relax a little, since they a) haven't given me the sense that they feel I'm nuts, and b) seem to be working on it promptly. I'm always concerned that I'll run into the part of the campus bureaucracy that isn't efficient and professional, but if there is one, I haven't found it yet.

Meanwhile, I'm feeling amazingly good. Sure, the last two weeks are going to make "normal" health feel great by comparison, but I feel like this is the best I've been in months. Minus the cough and laryngitis. :)

That's really good news. I'm glad they're responsive and quick. I always worry about stupid people being in charge somewhere.b
