This one I've yet to apply to any conversation. A first.
The more interesting portion being that, through years of experience as a polymerization chemist, I've acquired a unique understanding for how chemophobia serves as a mental safety sensor.
Not necessarily an irrational fear of chemistry, but an instinctive hesitation that encourages further examination before proceeding.
Particularly when recalling laboratory protocols involving solvents such as HFIP (hexafluoroisopropanol). One obtaining a healthy apprehension can be exactly what keeps curiosity from becoming carelessness.
