Despite what the medical fascists continue to claim, face masks are entirely ineffective at preventing the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) and come with long-term negative impacts, especially for children. The latest data shows that young people in particular are experiencing serious negative social effects from masks, often at school, not to mention health ramifications that … Continue reading STUDY: Masks are exposing children to a horrifying array of deadly pathogens
Sacramento using chlorine dioxide to kill coronavirus on surfaces, but FDA and FTC say it can’t be used for personal protection
Back in March, SacRT (Sacramento Regional Transit District) implemented a new cleaning policy for its buses in response to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) that involves “fogging” them regularly with chlorine dioxide. But as you may recall, chlorine dioxide is actually not allowed by either the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), at least not … Continue reading Sacramento using chlorine dioxide to kill coronavirus on surfaces, but FDA and FTC say it can’t be used for personal protection
More than just Lyme: Ticks carry a collection of pathogens
Ticks, parasitic arachnids belonging to the same family as mites, have long been associated with Lyme disease, an infection caused by a spiral bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. The disease is spread to humans through the bite of black-legged or deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis). Based on information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Lyme disease is … Continue reading More than just Lyme: Ticks carry a collection of pathogens
How does the immune system know which microorganisms to attack? Turns out, it’s similar to speed dating
Researchers from the University of Freiburg have found evidence to suggest that the immune system could distinguish between self and non-self molecules through interacting with them. This team, led by biologists Wolfgang Schamel and Wilfried Weber, provided data that supported a hypothesis scientists have long held concerning how T cells differentiate between pathogens and the body’s cells. One … Continue reading How does the immune system know which microorganisms to attack? Turns out, it’s similar to speed dating
Space cooties: Should astronauts be worried about fungi on space stations?
Bacteria and viruses are not the only tiny hitchhikers during outer space that might endanger the health of astronauts. Recently, Belgian researchers brought up concerns about microscopic fungi living aboard space stations and spacecraft, especially the upcoming missions to the moon and Mars. Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of these microorganisms. The … Continue reading Space cooties: Should astronauts be worried about fungi on space stations?
Those fun ball pits your child likes to play in are probably a breeding ground for killer germs
The next time you go to the pediatric clinic, it may be best not to let your child into the ball pit. A recent study warned that these physical therapy playgrounds were just as dirty and filled with disease-causing microbes as their counterparts in family restaurants. Published in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC), the study warned that … Continue reading Those fun ball pits your child likes to play in are probably a breeding ground for killer germs
Essential oil of bald cypress can prevent food spoilage
Researchers from Egypt have a good reason to be excited about the essential oil of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). They say that the powerful antimicrobial activity of the oil makes it the perfect solution to the problem of food spoilage. When food becomes spoiled, it is no longer fit for human consumption. It must be thrown out before … Continue reading Essential oil of bald cypress can prevent food spoilage
