Is there anything dangerous about linoleic acid? I.e. is there harm in trying it, even if it turns out it doesn't work? Just curious how a trial like this would go. If it's essentially benign, it seems like people could just use it, if it had some potential side effects then I guess it would be more complicated.

It's seed oil. They are talking about using it in inhalers, I don't know that I would be eager to try inhaling oil from some improvised setup. Adding some grapeseed oil or whatever to your diet wouldn't have any side effects.

  Not sure how this would be implemented. Lipid pneumonia is a thing. So is vaping-associated pulmonary injury (VAPI), the lung disease allegedly caused by vaping back in 2019 which was traced to Vitamin E acetate.

I wouldn't recommend it: https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.e8707 https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.e8707 (Also worth nothing Americans are already eating very high (and increasing) amounts of linoleic acid, and we have been hit pretty hard by the coronavirus.) (Should also note that linoleic acid is in tons of food; eating some is totally natural and healthy. "The dose makes the poison," as the old saying goes.)

Route of administration is nasal spray or pulmonary spray. THe doses to be administer have been used in prior drugs for these administration routes as INACTIVE INGREDIENTS. its not a safety issue.
