PSA totally irrelevant to this blog

I’ve noticed that Minion bath products are a thing, and that many of them are banana-scented.

The fragrance used to impart a banana scent is called isoamyl acetate. Isoamyl acetate is also an alarm pheromone in bees. It’s released when a bee stings something/someone, prompting other bees to sting the same target.

The Minion shampoo has mysteriously infiltrated my house, and my youngest sibling (the only one who uses it) has not been stung since its appearance, but I wouldn’t count on anecdotal evidence…

If you have an allergy to bee stings, I strongly recommend choosing a different scent.

I’m a chemist and I found out I’m allergic to bees after working with isoamyl acetate and being stung twice on my way home from work. Do not use isoamyl acetate as a fragrance and especially not on children, which Minions are marketed to.

Please please please not on children. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
