head fungus :: Article Creator Yes, 'zombie Cicadas' Infected By Parasitic Fungus Are Real The telltale sign of infection in a cicada is when "the back half of their abdomen has been replaced with a yellow/white 'plug' of fungus," says Dr. Brian Lovett. In 2024, two broods of periodical cicadas will emerge in Illinois and the surrounding states at once: the 13-year Brood XIX and 17-year Brood XIII.

"Zombie cicadas" is also a popular Google search in the lead-up to this year's cicada season. Are "zombie cicadas" real?

systemic viral illness :: Article Creator Aplastic Anaemia Causes Your Blood Cell Production To Go Down It is a very sad time for my family. My husband was experiencing dizzy spells and tiredness. He went to a GP (general practitioner), who was concerned at his low red blood cell count and referred him to a specialist. At first, he was thought to be having leukaemia. But he was finally diagnosed as having aplastic anaemia. What is this disease? Aplastic anaemia is a rare blood disease. In the past, it used to be confused with leukaemia, but it is actually a separate disorder. It occurs when your bone marrow cannot make enough blood cells and platelets. It is rare, occurring in only one or two people out of a million, but it is very dangerous. Where is my bone marrow?

tinea groin :: Article Creator Pharmacist Says Skin Change 'silent Messenger' Of Serious Problems A pharmacist has warned people not to overlook changes to their skin because they could be vital clues to a life-threatening condition.

candida armpit :: Article Creator Odor-causing Bacteria In Armpits Targeted Using Bacteriophage-derived Lysin Body odor from the armpits comes from bacteria metabolizing sweat produced by the apocrine glands. These bacteria are native to our skin, but the odors produced differ among people. Generally, people use deodorants on their armpits, but perhaps there is a way to get rid of the bacteria. To find out, a research team led by Osaka Metropolitan University Professor Satoshi Uematsu and Associate Professor Kosuke Fujimoto at the Graduate School of Medicine collected body fluid samples from the armpits of 20 men that were deemed healthy. In advance, a subjective olfactory panel classified them into two types of odors, with 11 having a more noticeable smell. The researchers analyzed the matter produced from bacterial metabolism and the DNA of the skin microflora and found an increased presence of odor-causing precursors in those 11 samples along wit

viral parotitis :: Article Creator Parotitis (Parotid Gland Swelling) Medically reviewed by John Carew, MD Parotitis is inflammation of one or both parotid glands, two large salivary glands responsible for making approximately 50% of your saliva. The parotid glands are located in each cheek over the jaw and in front of the ears. Saliva is important for health as it contains electrolytes, which support many bodily functions from transporting water in the body to supporting nerve and muscle function. Saliva also contains enzymes, such as salivary amylase which helps break down carbohydrates. Parotitis occurs equally among all genders, but some types of parotitis, such as acute bacterial parotitis, are more common in older populations.
