ALOX is the trade name of a specialty lubricant from the Lubrizol Corporation. I have requested a Material Safety Data Sheet from them. The arachidonate lipoxygenase (CAS 82391-43-3) referred to in the link as "ALOX" is an enzyme that catalyzes a particular oxidation reaction in biochemistry.
I fully expect Lubrizol's information will make it clear that there is no connection between their lubricant and the enzyme. Even so, I would remind everyone that good housekeeping and good hygiene should be observed any time ammunition or components are handled.
I will repost after I hear from Lubrizol.
