Here’s why we don’t have a cold #vaccine. Yet.
Technically, #colds are #infections that affect your nose and throat, causing symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and generally feeling like garbage. Unlike some other infections they aren’t defined by the specific #virus that causes them. That’s because there are a lot of viruses that cause colds, including #rhinoviruses, #adenoviruses, and even seasonal #coronaviruses

Bacterial vaginosis can cause #infections, abscesses, and premature births, and can lead to infertility. The #DITF have laid the basis for the development of a panty liner that can prevent bacterial #vaginosis.

#Zoonotic #infections by avian #influenza virus: changing global #epidemiology, #investigation, and #control, Lancet Infect Dis.: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(24)00234-2/abstract

Avian influenza virus continues to pose zoonotic, #epizootic, and #pandemic #threats worldwide, as exemplified by the 2020–23 epizootics of re-emerging #H5 #genotype avian influenza viruses among #birds and #mammals and the fatal jump to humans of emerging A(#H3N8) in early 2023.

#Epidemiological characteristics of #human #infections with avian #influenza A(#H5N6) virus, #China and #Laos: A multiple case descriptive analysis, February 2014-June 2023 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38655247/?utm_source=Feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=None&utm_content=1fgJURi2yzLesFml6et0Bb6krzs_FrNIYgPYVFN50JPwVNFg9s&fc=None&ff=20240424145814&v=2.18.0.post9+e462414

As A(H5N6) continues to circulate and cause severe illness, surveillance and prompt information sharing is important for creating and implementing effective public health measures to reduce the likelihood of additional human infections.

I've been thinking about organic gardening, #infectious #parasites and their effect on gardeners, catching up on research I noticed re #diseases in ancient Egyptian civilisations.

Given that as society breaks down we are going turn more and more more to #human waste spread on land both as means of disposal and enrichment, what can do to protect ourselves from intestinal and skin parasites? (#Roundworm, #tapeworm etc)

I know we already use composting toilets etc, but this relies on #composting human waste for around a year (or more) and maybe there will be a need to speed up (ot shortcut) the process as "normal" society collapses.

So, what are the bare minimum requirements of a "safe" process, and are there any home remedies (#herbal brews, #salves and #potions) that have been used to treat these #infections in the past?

«De l’intérêt collectif du léchage de barres de métro afin de rembourser nationalement notre dette immunitaire

Pour expliquer la recrudescence d’infections, virales ou bactériennes, certains scientifiques militent pour le concept de “dette immunitaire”. Nous avons déjà évoqué combien cette “théorie” demeure scientifiquement discutable.[…]»
