アロンアルフアは止血に使える?

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

The review distinguishes the medical-use Aron Alpha A discussed in a study from the consumer product: the study concerned medical-grade adhesive used for fingertip cuts, while the company says safety has not been confirmed for consumer Aron Alpha on or around the human body. It also reports that sales of the medical product ended in March 2025.

Publisher’s rating: The claim by the user is misleading

Je was best je haren voor het slapengaan, zodat je de pollen niet in je bed brengt.

Publisher’s rating: Eerder waar

The review says washing your hair before bed removes pollen left in it during the day, which may otherwise reach your pillow and face and trigger nighttime sneezing and a runny nose. It notes that the effect of hair-washing alone has not been studied, though the measure appears in several guidelines as part of practical advice for hay fever.
