45. Seriously, whatever works for those with anxiety issues.

I had an anxiety attack once, and it was dreadful.

If a basic, affordable test that could provide even a little realistically reliable information for a chemical of concern were available, it might make a good alternative to asking a physician if an anxiolytic should be prescribed.

Reliable information worked for me in 2020 when we believed my worsening breathing problems and chest pain were Covid. Before we left for the hospital I looked up the mortality stats for my age group. I knew my chances were at least statistically good in spite of an autoimmune disorder, but just confirming the general picture I had once again with reliable professional data was very soothing.

However, anxiety or trust issues didn't prevent me from being able to accept the public data available by that time.

In this case, I suspect ProfessorGAC knows what he's talking about (and how nice to have input from a retired scientist).
