the effect is extremely real though, same with nocebo. They did a study a while ago, told people something was poison oak when it wasn't and rubbed them with it. They broke out in rashes.

Might be this one

Also, worked 30+ years in science and specifically a lot of immunology.

I'm not going to spend much time reading a LLM generated article from a source that pays people for surveys. In general, you are not wrong as far as placebo goes. Nocebo is just life.
