As we all know by now, bug bites and stings are, for the most part, no more unpleasant than a homework assignment — kind of annoying but basically harmless. Occasionally, though, an insect bite or sting can cause serious problems.
So you should know when a simple ice pack can bring some relief and when a visit to the local hospital is in order.
The man, Michael, was helping his mother recuperate from a surgery when he woke up with numbness in his feet. ‘We thought it was the flu,’ his mother, Jeene, explains in a GoFundMe set up to help pay for her son’s expenses.

The 35-year-old man went into septic shock, and by the next day, was on a ventilator, dialysis, antibiotics, beta-blockers, and more medications as the mans organs began failing. ‘He almost died once or twice,’ his brother Greg told KEN5 news. ‘They were worried about him being brain dead.’
Medics believe his capitulation was brought about as a result of typhus, a disease caused by a bacteria carried by infected fleas. Symptoms include fever and chills, body aches and muscle pain, loss of appetite, and vomiting, according to the CDC.
Jeene also said that her son was ‘the victim of a severe and traumatic bite from one single flea — with unimaginable consequences. Doctors amputated both of his hands ‘up to his forearms,’ his mother writes. He’s already lost his toes and parts of his feet.
‘As of now, we do not know how much of his feet are salvageable,’ she said about her son, whom she says was also an avid volunteer at community gardens and festivals. His brother also said that the family wants people to be aware of what he’s going through so they can protect themselves.
Genu valgum describes a knee arrangement in which a child (or adult) stands with their knees together but their feet and lower legs apart. Bandylegs (genu varum) is the abnormal condition in which a person stands with their feet and lower legs together but a space between their knees.
Measurements of the shinbone’s articulation point with the thighbone (tibiofemoral point) or the shin-to-shin distance are commonly used to evaluate a shaky knee (intermalleolar distance) (intermalleolar distance). Photos or x-rays can be used to make these estimations in some cases…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
A frequent aspect of a kid’s existence is pounding knees (and pigeon toes, for that matter) (and pigeon toes, for that matter). Knee alignment in Caucasian kids typically goes from bent at birth to straight at age 2, then to thudding at age 4, and finally to straight again between the ages of 6 and 11.
Why do people with neurotic thump knees have them?
Adjusted muscle force on the bones can cause obsessive thump knees in a few neurological diseases, such as cerebral paralysis or spina bifida.
As a result, beating the knees incessantly may be an indication of something more serious going on below the surface. Adolescents can suffer a major setback if they develop rickets or another bone disease caused by improper mineralization. Neurotic thump knees are often associated with being short or having other bone or joint misalignment. Possible causes include metabolic bone disorder and skeletal dysplasia.
There is a correlation between childhood obesity and a more severe case of thump knees in children who also have flat feet and hypermobile (very pliable) joints.
In your opinion, should they be taken to the hospital for treatment?
Typically, parents bring their child in for their first medical checkup because they are concerned about how their child looks when they are upright or walking. Children that have physiological knock knees will eventually grow out of the condition and don’t need any therapy or follow-up exams.
Knee supports and foot orthotics for adults with excruciating osteoarthritis related to thump knees may be helpful. For youngsters, activities and get-healthy regimens to lower weight and encourage knee development may be beneficial. Nonetheless, there is now inadequate reasonable evidence to support the use of such therapies.
Those with severe or debilitating neurotic thump knees may require a muscle medical procedure to address the knee arrangement if they are in constant pain or are otherwise severely impaired.
The perfect pink sausage, grilled, placed inside a hot bun, with pimpled cabbage, mustard, and ketchup. Ahhh.. wonderful and delicious childhood memories.
But as it turns out, and most likely we are not revealing anything new to you – hot dogs are not healthy for you.
According to LiveStrong, they are high in fat (and not the good kind), have high levels of
cholesterol, contain large amounts of salt, and stay ‘fresh’ because of many preservatives.
It’s no surprise that hot dogs aren’t good for our waistlines – but what doctors have discovered they’re doing to our kids is the truly scary thing.
This meat product contains additives that may cause botulism, they extend the shelf life of the product and give it the pink color (otherwise they would be gray). We call these ‘helpful’ additives nitrites,
and they are dangerous, harmful and sometimes even fatal. LiveStrong explains that nitrites
are associated with an increase in the risk of getting cancer – with the risk being 9 times greater in children who consume more than 12 hot dogs per month.
The Daily Health Post shared the findings of hot dog
consumption in studies conducted:
“Children who ate hot dogs once or more during the week were at a higher risk of getting brain cancer”.
“Children born to mothers who consumed hot dogs once or more during a week during pregnancy had a higher risk of developing brain tumors”.
Picnics, barbecues, etc. – in all of them sausages play a central role in the menu. But their consumption is not innocent and much more dangerous than we thought.
Think hot dogs were born the way they look? Definately not! Before they get to their plate they go through a lot.
Different cuts of meat are ground in huge machines, then mixed with all kinds of starches, salt, flavorings and preservatives, then mixed in huge tanks.
It is enough to look at the label and see what ingredients are in the hot dogs. You will get shocked!
We may feel nostalgia associated with their taste, but unfortunately, there are many hidden things, much more than people realize. If you still choose to eat hot dogs and also let your children eat them, at least now you know and are familiar with the dangers.
In case you were wondering, here is how sausages are made – a video is worth a thousand words:
