No reply from the op. Interesting take on this AI stuff. Multiple people replied to the comments.
Fooling people, and they have no idea they're being fooled.

Dangerous.

Years back on a different site, had a similar issue with a well known camera retailer who'd somehow managed to get a bot embedded on the site that tallied the number of times the word camera or the stores name was mentioned. It also started sending unsolicited ads to members emails if they even breathed those words. Took a while but we finally got it removed.

Always use the report tool for suspected AI or bot posts. We'll handle it.

You mean telling them to PISS OFF doesn't cut it?

Yes to carrying antihistamines, but I'd suggest updating from diphenhydramine (Benadryl) (a first generation antihistamine). I looked into this awhile back, and updated all my first aid kits. This is what I learned:

Diphenhydramine can cause drowsiness, dizziness, impaired coordination, and other problems. Another old one with even worse side effects is hydroxyzine (palpatations, seizures, sudden cardiac arrest). Those two are banned for commercial and military pilots.

Newer generation antihistamines are safer, non-drowsy, and faster-acting, such as Loratadine, desloratidine, and fexofenadine. Ceratizine is also a good one, but can be low-sedating.

I carry Benadryl to combat swelling from yellow-jacket bites.

I almost died TWICE from a yellow-jacket bites. The second time the only thing that saved me was the Benadryl IV drip as I was headed to the emergency room in an ambulance.

Do the newer generation antihistamines combat swelling quicker than Benadruyl???

I don't like the idea of AI restarting this thread, but its a good one to revive as we get into summer.

I had a dog get a rattlesnake bite at sunset on a multi-day float. Stuffed some Benadryl down her and she was fine the next day. Could have been a dry strike but who knows. Always worth the weight.
