Thank you. I guess I won't be buying any Nomex apparel to (very slightly) increase my life expectancy during prospective post-retirement travel. I will maintain my practice of wearing natural fibers, however.

(Meanwhile, I have to hope that my final two weeks of radiation therapy and several more female hormone injections do their job on adjacent tissue. )
