Considered the coronavirus holy grail, antibodies are believed to give us some level of immunity from the virus. They form after a person fights off COVID-19 and can be detected through a serological test, better known as an antibody test. "There are some really great companies building antibody tests, and there are some not so great, bad actors, building antibody tests. So you have to be really careful," says Jon Carder, co-founder and CEO of Vessel, a San Diego company created four years ago to provide in-home wellness tests. Early in the pandemic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed these tests to be sold and distributed without federal review, as long as the company notified the FDA it was offering a test, performed self-validation studies, and included a disclaimer on the test results. The FDA is now cracking down on the bad actors, creating a list of tests that should no longer be distributed. Only a handful of manufacturers have been granted FDA Emergency Use Authorization, meeting a certain threshold for accuracy.Carder says states and even countries have been fooled by the bad actors, purchasing inadequate tests. "We were talking to a city government, a big city, and were blown away when we got a response that they were thinking about buying antibody tests from a certain manufacture who had claimed they were FDA approved. And the state had sort of taken their word for it, and they weren't," said Carder. Vessel had been preparing to release its in-home wellness tracker, which tests for health markers like vitamins, minerals, toxins, and cortisol. When the pandemic hit, the company adapted its technology to be used in the fight against COVID-19. "We take existing antibody tests, the good ones, the ones that are accurate and that the FDA has approved for emergency use, and we enable those to be done safely and accurately at home," said Carder. They've created a kit with step-by-step instructions to do the blood test at home. The test card is then scanned through the Vessel app and provides results from a medical professional within a half-hour. The FDA has already approved in-home tests to diagnose active infections – but Carder says the sample must be sent to a lab, and the user must have symptoms or another qualification to get one. And he says they can be costly. "Ours could be one of the first, or the first, antibody test done at home, no lab needed," said Carder. Just this week, the FDA issued three warning letters to companies making false claims on their in-home antibody tests.Vessel has completed its usability studies and is now in clinical trials with the FDA. "Our job is to prove it can be done safely at home and to show that via clinical trials. The FDA really makes the call if they're going to enable antibody testing at home," said Carder. He says the test would be cost-effective, anywhere from -, or around with medical consultation. If approved by the FDA, Carder estimates millions of people could be tested within the first few months. "There's something really great about the peace-of-mind that comes from doing a test, and that may be one of the biggest benefits," said Carder. But while the FDA is only approving the most accurate tests, none are 100 percent accurate and could still lead to false positives. 3314

CORONADO, Calif. (KGTV) - A Navy shooting range in Coronado is at the center of a legal dispute over possible unsafe lead exposure. Team 10 investigative reporter Jennifer Kastner uncovered the history of reports of serious lead problems.10News spent more than five weeks continuously calling and emailing the Navy, asking what happened. Ultimately, the Navy responded, in part, that it would not go into any detail.Toxic lead exposure is a serious threat at shooting ranges. The gun smoke releases the metal into the air.Across the United States, federal agents have done hundreds of inspections for lead violations.Just south of the Hotel del Coronado, along the Silver Strand, sits the heavily guarded Naval Amphibious Base. 10News was unable to get video of the shooting range in question because we weren’t granted access on-base, but we can show you the federal reports that detail a history of concern. Per inspection paperwork, the indoor shooting range address is 3632 Guadalcanal Road.Across the country, a separate range that's not affiliated with the Navy had hired Don Haines as its safety officer. He says he'd sometimes be at the range seven days a week and for hours at time.“My friends noticed some changes in me, complaining about being tired all the time. [There was] some irritability and some difficulty understanding some things when we were having discussions,” he says.Doctors told him he'd been poisoned by lead.Toxic levels of the metal can cause serious problems like brain damage, kidney disease, and even death.Dr. Gabriel Filippelli is the director of the Center for Urban Health at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. “Current lead contamination still has tremendous impacts to a bunch of different sectors,” he says.Filippelli explains that as people shoot guns, lead particles are left behind on the walls, counters, and floors. Sometimes the primer used as padding to eject the bullet is made of lead that bursts into the air. “You have to remember that the primer is exploding right by people's faces,” he adds.There are now questions about whether Haines' story could be similar to what may have happened to an employee at the shooting range in Coronado.A report from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) shows that the range was issued a violation in 2014 that has to do with an employee being exposed to lead.Two other preliminary violations for possible lead exposure were also reported that year. Both were deemed "serious" but were deleted following an informal settlement agreement, which required the shooting range to make changes.Although the findings are from five years ago, the military is still dealing with them.In July, a spokesperson for Naval Special Warfare (NSW) sent 10News the following statement:“NSW's number one priority is the health, safety, and readiness of our people -- military and civilian. We take reports of safety issues seriously. In the end OSHA and the Navy agreed to an amended report to which we fully implemented the agreed upon amended requirements. I'm not going to get into the details you are asking due to on-going litigation with an individual who was involved in these matters. We are not facilitating interviews at this time because of that litigation.”OSHA is in charge of inspecting gun ranges and lead levels in 28 states. The Administration reports that people can still work their jobs when their blood lead level is 40 micrograms per deciliter (μg/dL).However, the National Institute of Health claims that no amount of lead in your blood is safe.When Haines was first hired, the range checked his blood and found it was 3 μg/dL. Just 8 months later, he says it jumped to 60 μg/dL.This spring, the government reported, in part, that OSHA is “exploring regulatory options to lower blood lead levels in affected workers”.It’s finally considering dropping the levels from 40 μg/dL to less than 10 μg/dLin adults. Businesses can protect you with a proper air filtration system, with air blowing away, toward the targets. Experts say you can protect yourself by wearing masks when shooting or working at a range, wearing gloves while firing or cleaning up and washing your shooting clothes separately from other clothing. They’re small steps to take to prevent the little-known threat that even Haines, a range safety officer, wasn't aware of. “They could go for years and they may not recognize the symptoms. Had I not had someone who was observant, I probably would not have attached it to the lead,” he adds. 4538

CINCINNATI -- You've read these stories. We've even run some of them. They go like this: A police officer or paramedic touches a mysterious, powder-like substance during a drug arrest or attempted overdose revival, and their heart begins to hammer. Their sweat glands kick into overdrive. Their breath turns thick inside their lungs.After they're rushed to the hospital or dosed with naloxone on-scene, they recover. Their department usually invokes opioids such as fentanyl in explaining the possible incident; the phrase "accidental overdose" comes up.There's just one problem: According to the American College of Medical Toxicology and other medical sources, including Slate contributor Dr. Jeremy Faust, it's essentially impossible to overdose on fentanyl through skin contact alone."These drugs are not absorbed well enough through the skin to cause sickness from incidental contact," the ACMT wrote in a 2017 news release shortly after East Liverpool, Ohio police reported an officer had overdosed after brushing white powder from an earlier drug arrest off his shirt bare-handed. "Toxicity cannot occur from simply being in proximity of the drug. In the event drug powder gets on skin, ACMT recommends simply washing it off."Despite that statement, similar stories surfaced in Ohio during August and November 2017. More recently, news outlets in Texas reported a Houston officer had become ill and received a dose of naloxone after a drug bust in July. Days later, Harris County authorities announced there hadn't actually been any fentanyl at the scene.So what's the truth? According to Chad Sabora, a recovering drug user who founded the Missouri Network for Opiate Reform and Recovery, and neuroscience-pharmacology PhD Sarah Sottile, most of these officers are probably experiencing psychosomatic symptoms — maybe even panic attacks. It's highly unlikely they're actually overdosing on small amounts of fentanyl through skin contact.To illustrate this, Sabora and Sottile posted a video to Facebook in which Sabora safely holds a small amount of powder fentanyl in his bare hand while Sottile explains fear, not fentanyl, is the likely causes of police officers' symptoms. (Dr. Faust put it somewhat more bluntly in an opinion piece about the video, describing the incidents as "local authorities peddling what amount to ghost stories masquerading as true tales from the front lines.")"What scares me is that, if we don't dispel these rumors, kids will be left to die because an officer or first responder will show up on the scene, they'll believe that it's fentanyl there, and they will not attempt to save the person's life because of these fears," Sabora says in the video. "At the end of the day, we need to save these kids' lives, and we can't not go resuscitate out of fear."Newtown Police Chief Tom Synan had spoken to Scripps station WCPO in Cincinnati before in incidents of unconfirmed police exposure to opioids. He said Friday night he could not argue with the stances taken by doctors but still wanted to stress extreme caution among first responders dealing with potential opiates."I'm not one to dispute science," he said. "How do you dispute science? … I think the best way to look at this is that this issue is difficult. There are no easy answers with this. We have to err on the side of caution, not on the side of panic."It's not so dangerous that everyone that gets near it will be overdosing and dying," he added. "(But) continue to be careful. Continue to be cautious." 3523

Companies are using some pretty sneaky tactics to make you think you're getting more than you actually are when it comes to buying things like cosmetics.But are they breaking rules?U.S. consumers spent billion in 2017 on cosmetic products.  Makeup enthusiast Alex Langer says she’s never really paid close attention to the amount of product inside the fancy cosmetic bottles."Unless you're a mathematician, you don't know what that really is," says Langer.The NOW’s investigative team looked at some popular brands and found some tricky packaging that seems misleading. (Disclaimer: we are not mathematicians)"I think that there is an ethical issue with trying to convey that there is more in that package than there really is," says marketing expert Darrin Duber-Smith.The NOW looked at two different oils from Olay products. One actually had more product than the other. The company is using what marketers refer to as "downsizing," which started a decade ago."You can make your package thicker, and that way it holds less stuff,” explains Duber-Smith. “You can put a false bottom or a thicker bottom at the bottom…you can fill it, not all the way to the top."Another product from e.l.f. looked as if it was full of product, but when you start unscrewing things and pulling if apart, you learn quickly that looks are very deceiving."Competitors have to kind of have larger packages in order to convey the perception that there's more and more product in there," explains Duber-Smith.Companies, however, cannot lie about the amount on the product’s label. The companies are required to be precise about what’s included on labels and the product amount is included."We have labeling requirements,” explains Duber-Smith. “We have regulatory agencies that do oversee these things."Packaging can change your perception dramatically. Each bottle of foundation we looked at differed in design, but the amount in the bottles were the same."I would agree completely that it's very misleading to consumers,” Duber-Smith says. “And my feeling is that if your intent is to deceive you have an ethical issue."So before you purchase your next beauty product, pay attention and make sure you are checking the labels; don't be deceived by pretty packaging. 2264
