You've obviously never seen the state of my wife's hands if she handles
some washing powders.

One family member works in a hospital, and almost certainly
due to frequently using alcohol hand wipes, she finds she
can't handle detergents anymore. She can't even go near a
decent washing up liquid and has to use one of the
eco-doesn't-actually-dissolve-any-grease ones.


Which alcohol? Ethanol or isopropanol?

I fell across an article the other day blaming erythromelalgia on
isopropanol (IIRC, in a carpet cleaning product).

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
