Shingles does not usually occur in babies, but if a baby is exposed to chicken pox earlier in life and months later the babies immune system is compromised that baby can develop shingles. 3.According to Patrick Guilfoille the same Varicella Zoster Virus is responsible for both chicken pox and shingles. Shingles is the reactivation of the virus in the affected person. The reactivation occurs when that individual’s immune system is suppressed. The link between the baby’s present condition and the three-year-old sisters is that, the three year old might have transferred the virus to the six month old through touch, coughing or sneezing.
There have been accidental children poisoning incidents, which led to the government stepping in. Tide Pods has since decided to put a double latch on the lids to make them more kid proof. This year alone 2012, there were more than 250 pod poisoning accidents reported within the United States. (LaCapria, 2012). Tide Pods (P&G) are working with the American Cleaning Institute to educate and promote the safe handling, use, and disposal of all laundry detergents, and to remind everyone that cleaning products must be kept out the reach of children.
Improper use of antibiotics is the primary cause of drug-resistant bacteria. When a person begins to take their medication the weaker strains of the bacteria are killed off first leaving the more resistant bacteria behind. Unfortunately when a person does not finish their prescription the more resistant bacteria continues to live and multiply, resulting in the ineffectiveness of antibiotics, and failure to control the
Immunizations weaken the immune system and makes it work less efficiently.. Immunizations have harmful chemicals in them that are dangerous to the body. Children can still contract a disease regardless of getting immunized against it. A person has no guarantee that they will not contact the disease if they have been vaccinated. A person/child is less likely to contract a disease if they naturally develop an immunity for example breastfeeding or coming in contact at a young age. More than 12,000 bad reactions to vaccines are reported each year, if all doctors reported these reactions the total would be closer to 120,000 per year.
Meth addiction harms the body in a horrific way, the drug is made up of chemicals that can kill a person also leading to the addiction, and in order to get over the drug it’s a continuous battle the person must want it for themself, and have the strength over their own mind they can’t be weak or they will fail and relapse. In the beginning use of Meth there are not many changes in appearance, but within a couple months a person’s whole appearance can be changed. The body tends to get very thin, and for most people their skin starts getting picked at leaving open wounds. The appearance can change so fast that the person may not even be recognizable. Not only does the appearance change so do the mind.
This weakens the immune system leaving the body vulnerable to infection and illness. Raised levels of cortisol suppresses the TH1 immune response. Kiecolt-Glaser et al conducted a natural experiment into acute stress, the aim was to see if the stress of exams had an effect on the immune system. Blood samples were taken from medical students before and during the exam period, T-Cell activity was measured in the blood samples. The findings showed that T-Cell activity was significantly higher before exams which suggests that acute stress caused reduced immune system functioning.
Another side says we’re overreacting, this may not be that serious. Honey, if people dying because of a virus that our bodies don’t have the immunities to fight isn’t serious, you tell me what is. This is about keeping the people in our country safe and healthy, and if closing the doors for a bit will help contain it, so be
Once someone contracts one of these types of disease, it can possibly be fatal. Fortunately, these types of diseases are now avoidable thanks to vaccines. All of these viruses and more now have an enemy, it’s called a vaccine. From the “Feed a cold, starve a fever” type of medicinal cure all, to the current prescription researched vaccines, today’s inoculations are the brick wall that diseases run into. According to The American Academy of Pediatrics "most childhood
Hydrogen peroxide is used to cure common colds because it can kill bacteria but is used in very few quantities, for too much of the compound may be dangerous to the good bacteria in the skin. It is not frequently used and may not work if the procedure is done after the virus has already spread. A doctor in 1928 called Richard Simmons believed the rhinovirus, which was the virus that caused colds, found entry into the body through the ear or the mouth. By putting hydrogen peroxide in the patients' ears, it can kill any bacteria that is in the ear canal;thus, the virus can be destroyed before it spreads any further throughout the body.
Having human trials for the vaccine would take too long for any defects (An example would be Thalidomide, which caused birth defects in the 1960s because of incomplete animal testing by today’s standards. US regulations have expanded on what conditions a drug must be tested under due to the incident [Gauvra, 2011]) to show and not having trials is not an option when it comes to the flu. Should the vaccine be unavailable, a significant portion of the population would fall ill every year, and the number of deaths from just the flu would skyrocket. As well, there would be a sharp decline in the quality of life for humans. Many companies use animal trials to test out the safety of new drugs, pesticides, medication, food additives, packing materials, and anything else with chemical ingredients.
