This is a great newsletter and I've been enjoying it immensely. Regarding thymol, my suspicion is that extraction from natural sources will never be cost competitive with synthesis. Another major factor is that it has an overpowering "camphoric" smell. A wound dressing incorporating it would need a way to control the odour.
Thank you Jordan. Good to know about the thymol odor as I have personally never worked with it. I appreciate you reading the newsletter and the fact that you are enjoying it is why I keep writing.
