"hyperpigmentation on the eyelids from blue-light exposure" is a super specific query almost definitionally 'bixonimania' which probably brought up the 'bixonimania' poison at the time (the search hits for that query right now in Google are weak and poorly relevant so it would not be hard to outrank them or at least get into the top 50 or so where a retrieval LLM would see them and would followup), and so still an instance of what I mean.
