My understanding is that there is a lot of very fine lunar dust and in the lower gravity even a small amount of static electricity on you means that you are quickly covered in the dust.

edit: although ibuprofen is a brand name.

Ibuprofen is the generic name for the drug. There are branded variants like Nurofen if you want to spend more money for no real reason.

Perhaps this should be an option but I far prefer that tapping on a notification not do something that potentially notifies the sender that I saw the notification, certainly not calling them. I want to initiate that action knowingly and intentionally.
