However, some medical experts fear the novel coronavirus may become an annual menace. Unfortunately, this strain of coronavirus may be able to…
Test results from cities across the United States, including Ann Arbor, Michigan, are showing quantities for PFAS higher than previously thought. Water is key to our survival and having high levels of these man-made chemicals is concerning to me. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) tested tap water in 44 locations across 31 states for PFAS….
Human-to-Human Transmission The new pneumonia-like coronavirus has now been confirmed by a Chinese government-appointed expert that two cases have been transmitted from one person to another. The two were family members living in the Guangdong province in southern China. One of them visited the animal market in Wuhan where the outbreak began and transferred the…

Unfortunately, GlaxoSmithKline, the company that makes Excedrin Extra Strength and Excedrine Migraine has temporarily discontinued both products. And many regular users of these products are already in distress over the shortage. You may have guessed the reason for this is because there was a quality…
A new study estimates that twice the amount previously estimated die from sepsis worldwide. Previous studies were limited to middle- and high-income countries where sepsis cases were treated at a hospital. This new study, however, included low-income countries and sepsis cases that occurred outside of a hospital. So, it’s not so much that the numbers…
