I hope people allergic to shellfish aren't allergic to chitosan.
I'd guess no since the article refers to chitosan as the second most ubiquitous substance on earth -- they'd be allergic to a lot more than shellfish if chitosan was the allergen.

I thought iodine was the main allergen in shellfish.
I know they've had those bandages for a bit and are using them in Iraq, but I had no idea they were shrimp. That's both cool, and "damn, another way to denude the ocean."

What is even happening?
Well, given all the frozen and canned shellfish on the market, maybe it'll mostly just make more use of the creatures already being removed from the ocean.
Probably not, huh.

They've been using that stuff for people with cartilage problems for ages. I know my dad's taken it for years for his knees.

Something occurred to me last night and while I realize this will likely re-open the pecAn/pecAhhhhn discussion I posit the following theory:
Regardless of ones general pronunciation proclivities regarding the nuts them selves, pies, danish, etc. the respective pronunciations of the ice cream and the cookie are "Butter Pecahhhhhn" and "PecAn Sandies".
Discuss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was confused as to what they meant by "substance." It can't mean "element" or "compound," so I'm guessing they mean "organic material."

Organic material was my assumption. Carbon-based band-aids already exist.

That sounded snarkier than I intended it to. Sorry.

So which category would the gummi and chocolate bandaids I saw in the store yesterday fall under? Besides Ew.
