Today the thing I'm choosing to be overspecifically annoyed by is people who are obsessing about benzene in sunscreen but don't wear hazmat gear when fueling their car (gas is full of it). Benzene is pretty benign. Choose a career where you don't breathe it daily and chill out.

A good way to tell what carcinogens to be afraid of is to look at how they're stored in chem labs. Benzene sits in a big bottle on the shelf. It's the stuff that's inside a bottle within a bottle and with the red tag locking out the fume hood you don't want in your sunscreen.

Chemists have been dealing with the equivalent of antivax people for decades, and it's innocent useful molecules that get caught in the crossfire. These people gave you Ziploc bags and teflon, be grateful! But of course the best is the chemicals-are-evil freaks who also smoke.

They haven't, but there's no doubt here, just a moral panic.
