Summary

First up, can you actually be allergic to cleaning? The team dig into a Times piece by a writer who found herself coughing and wheezing every time she wiped down her kitchen, and the science behind why. It turns out many everyday sprays release irritants and volatile compounds that can bother our lungs, and the “natural” or “eco” labels don’t always mean much. So what does this mean for homes?

Next up, the news that global fitness racing series HYROX partnered with World Triathlon (TRI) to establish governance of the sport of Hybrid Racing as it pursues Olympic inclusion.

Becoming a recognised discipline sanctioned and governed by World Triathlon, HYROX will jointly develop a sprint (Fast) and endurance (Ultra) format to complement its signature race, designated as “Ultimate.” Read more at Fitt Insider.


And lastly, in trending, we look at the worrying side of AI, with the recent news that the death of a 31-year-old Seattle software engineer has raised serious questions about the risks of relying on artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for medical decisions.
