The First Pandemic? Scientists Find 214 Ancient Pathogens In Prehistoric DNA
Shutterstock Scientists have uncovered DNA from 214 ancient pathogens in prehistoric humans, including the oldest known evidence of plague. The findings show zoonotic diseases began spreading around 6,500 years ago, likely triggered by farming and animal domestication. These ancient infections may still influence us today, and help guide the vaccines of tomorrow…….Continue reading…. By: University of Copenhagen – The Faculty of Health and Medical […] -

my mom’s sister was born in 1943, about 12 yrs before #acetaminophen #panadol was invented. she would have been diagnosed autistic these days but because my grandparents were dirt poor ―literally still living in a house with dirt floor― my aunt didn’t, just like neither Mami nor any of my uncles, get the kind of pediatric diagnosis nor care, upper class #autistic Americans got at the time.
it’s 2025: we know #autism can be hereditary. we also know #viral #infections may be an epigenetic cause.

#Infections have been associated with the incidence of #Alzheimer disease and related dementias, but the mechanisms responsible for these associations remain unclear. Using a multicohort approach, we found that #influenza, viral, respiratory, and skin and subcutaneous infections were associated with increased long-term #dementia risk. These infections were also associated with region-specific brain volume loss, most commonly in the #FrontoTemporalDementia https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-024-00682-4 #healthcare

Why isn't our government mandating (& providing funding for) improved ventilation in public buildings? Study showed with 2.4 changes of the air per hour, cases dropped by 40%. With 4 changes of air every hour, infections dropped by 66.7%; when replacing the air 6 times each hour, infections go down by 82.5%! We need this in theatres, restaurants, schools...

Steroids are very effective immunomodulating drugs. BUT they do increase the risk of some infections.
This is a nice review describing what infections steroids make you susceptible. The immunology affected is discussed but harder to pin down, as likely context dependent.

Early- and mid-pandemic, prior COVID infections gave a mild protective effect. This waned post-Omicron, and prior infections now tend toward more severe (second) infections, or a loss of protection altogether. ANOTHER STUDY SHOWS: AVOID MULTIPLE COVID INFECTIONS

#Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small #birds’ #stomachs. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that feeding during the wintertime causes #birds to be healthier, since they do not have to expend as much energy fighting #infections.
