Thank you for adding this text. I appreciate it and it helps.

However, I maintain that the term "adverse" has connotations that you may not 
intend, but a significant proportion of readers will pick up on. The first 
synonym on dictionary.com is actually 'hostile', and the oxford thesaurus 
includes 'hostile' and 'antagonistic' for 'adverse' in relation to a human 
response.

This is why I, and others, suggested weaker terms. I still think "unwanted" can 
be used. I have no issue with "anomalous". But "adverse" I cannot support.
