Losing the Antibiotic race

The bacteria, known as Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, are named for their ability to fight off carbapenem antibiotics -- the last line of defense in the medical toolbox. And so far, they've emerged almost exclusively in health care facilities, picking off the weakest of patients.
The doctors at this time have no way of treating these patients that have become infected with this mutated bacteria 
So if you plan to work in the healthcare field be sure to WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN. actually even if you are not in health care just wash your hands to stay healthy and reduce transmittance of germs

Watch Where You Pee

I decided to take a different approach on the parasite rather than using a worm or a tick or a flea i decided a more interesting parasite would be the Candiru or toothpick fish it sucks human blood, and can enter through any open orifice. Hollywood popularized the fish swimming up a urine stream into the urethra

Nickel

Nickel is a toxic element and should never be trusted. except in small amounts, because it is essential to have some nickel intake.
Humans may be exposed to nickel by breathing air, drinking water, eating food or smoking cigarettes. Skin contact with nickel-contaminated soil or water may also result in nickel exposure. In small quantities nickel is essential, but when the uptake is too high it can be a danger to human health.

An uptake of too large quantities of nickel has the following consequences:
- Higher chances of development of lung cancer, nose cancer, larynx cancer and prostate cancer
- Sickness and dizziness after exposure to nickel gas
- Lung embolism
- Respiratory failure
- Birth defects
- Asthma and chronic bronchitis
- Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, mainly from jewelry
- Heart disorders

Nickel is used in many products some of you may use everyday including electric guitar strings, magnets and rechargeable batteries. The magnetic properties of nickel actually make it very important for use in computer hard drives.
