To share with parenting groups: One in three people have major health reactions to fragrance/scented products --this includes kids and babies! A baby can't tell you they are hurting, but fragrance still causes symptoms like migraine, asthma, allergies, rashes, and trouble breathing. Parents: Switching to fragrance free makes a huge difference in the health of your kids! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

People used to smoke on airplanes, not that long ago either. Like… full flights. They had “smoking sections” on flights. Same cabin, Same air, just different rows. And people genuinely believed as long as there’s ventilation, it’s fine. At the time, there really weren’t strong rules around secondhand smoke. It just wasn’t looked at the way it is now. Then things started to change. By the 70s and 80s, the science caught up. Studies showed secondhand smoke wasn’t just annoying, it was harmful Lung cancer Heart disease Respiratory issues The Surgeon General of the United States started putting out warnings, and people began to pay attention But airplanes made the problem impossible to ignore because on a plane: You can’t leave You share the same air And “sections” don’t actually separate anything Flight attendants were some of the first to really push back. They were exposed constantly, day after day Health issues started showing up Lawsuits followed Unions got involved From there, things moved pretty fast 1988 Smoking banned on short domestic flights 1990 Expanded to most domestic flights 2000 Banned on all U.S. flights, including international With pressure from the Federal Aviation Administration, public health agencies, and growing evidence Smoking didn’t get banned because it suddenly showed up It had been there the whole time It got banned because it became measurable undeniable and impossible to ignore Before that, it was: Unquestioned Everywhere Socially accepted And that pattern… it shows up again and again Exposure exists People normalize it Some people react first Data builds Society catches up Regulation follows Airplanes just made one thing very clear When air is shared what’s in it matters It was smoke then, it is fragrance now We want fragrance-free air We want to breathe

Sauerkraut!

Austria removed ONE thing… and nature came back instantly. 👏👏

@JOKAQARMY1 @targetingu They forgot we remember about the Lymerix vaccine. Didn’t work ☢️ #Lyme

The fake trip around the moon was a distraction from the new lyme vaccines and coincidentally farmers are finding boxes of ticks in their fields 👉

@rogueherbalism Congratulations 🎉 💚🫶🏽

🎉Today is the five-year anniversary of this win for Oregon cannabis nurses and the patients they serve. 🙏Much thanks to attorney Leland R. Berger for making this happen. 🔥on this day in 2024, I met with OSBN’s new Executive Director and a nursing policy analyst. We discussed next steps on providing practice guidelines for Oregon cannabis nurses. This followed my recent testimonies at OSBN board meetings. 🤓Practice guidelines were then adopted in July 2024, alleviating Oregon nurses being forced to operate in a licensure gray area while serving cannabis patients. This also ensures patients have access to competent medical guidance and education. It’s been a journey, and I’m thankful to see progress after so many years on this mission🙏 7 minute video summary: youtu.be/P8T0WMfe58s?fe… @highlight

From 1850 to 1937, cannabis was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia and widely used in medical preparations for a variety of conditions, including pain, inflammation, insomnia, and digestive disorders. Physicians at the time prescribed cannabis extracts and tinctures as part of mainstream medicine before regulatory changes and the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 led to its removal from official medical use. This historical context highlights how perceptions of cannabis have evolved over time, with modern research once again exploring its potential therapeutic benefits under controlled scientific frameworks. #cannabis #history #medicine #healthfacts #science #pharmacology #research #wellness #medicalhistory #education #onlyfacts Bridgeman, M.

Many fragrances release volatile organic compounds when sprayed or used. These compounds react with sunlight and nitrogen oxides to form ground level ozone, also known as smog. This contributes to poor air quality, especially in cities. Indoors, scented products like candles, scented plug ins, wax melts, sprays, and cleaners pollute the air you breathe. Even pleasant scents chemically behave like pollutants. When you wash off products such as soap, shampoo, lotions, detergents, dryer sheets, fragrance chemicals go down the drain. Wastewater treatment plants do not fully remove many fragrance compounds. These chemicals end up in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some are bioaccumulative, meaning they build up in fish and wildlife over time. Traces of fragrance ingredients have been found in waterways worldwide. Certain fragrance ingredients act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with hormones. They affect fish reproduction and development. They alter behavior, growth, and survival rates. Long term exposure can disrupt entire ecosystems. Small chemical exposures ripple into much larger ecological effects. Some fragrance compounds, including synthetic musks and fixatives, do not break down easily in nature. They can persist in soil, water, and living organisms. They have been detected in human tissue, breast milk, and wildlife. Once released, they remain in the environment for a long time. The impact begins before the product is even used. Manufacturing fragrances requires chemical processing and energy. Packaging such as plastic bottles and aerosols adds to waste and pollution. Some natural fragrances, like essential oils, can involve intensive farming and land use. Fragrances affect the Earth in multiple ways. They pollute the air and contribute to smog. They contaminate water systems. They harm wildlife and ecosystems. They persist in the environment long term. They add to industrial and packaging waste. They harm your health! Choose fragrance free. Protect more than just yourself. Like and share to help raise awareness.

The AMA recently published a fragrance regulation. Don’t re-invent the wheel. Provide them with the policy and ask when they will be in compliance. policysearch.ama-assn.org/policyfinder/d…
