However, few people know that fruits can also contain parasites, bacteria, if not washed, they can live parasites in the human body and cause many health problems. Here are 3 fruits that are most likely to contain parasites, so wash them thoroughly before eating Grape bunch Grapes are a favorite fruit of many people because it has a sweet, crunchy, aromatic taste, sometimes with a little sour taste, creating an extremely delicious and attractive feeling. However, grapes are usually harvested and sold in bunches. Inside the bunch of grapes there are always gaps, this is the space that creates a suitable habitat for parasites. In addition, because grapes contain high amounts of sugar, they attract the attention of more parasites. Therefore, when buying grapes, it is necessary to wash the grapes under clean running water, draining the water from top to bottom. Then, soak in dilute salt water for about 15 minutes, then eat. Strawberry Illustration. Strawberries grow close to the ground, when ripe, the entire flesh is exposed, the eyes of the strawberry can easily become “paths” for the parasites. to hide. Therefore, to ensure safety, when buying strawberries, you need to gently put the strawberries in a bowl of clean water, add a little flour or salt and soak for about 10 minutes, then gently take the strawberries out into a bowl of clean water. Repeat this 2-3 times so the strawberries can be cleaned. Water chestnuts Because water chestnuts are soaked in water for a long time, they are very susceptible to parasites. When eating, it is necessary to wash it with clean water, then use a knife to peel off the skin, if the inside is damaged, you should throw it away.

Effects of skin creams Helps reduce symptoms of dermatitis: One of the effects of skin cream is that it helps the skin to reduce inflammatory symptoms such as: redness, itchiness, dry skin, flaking scales… and prevent inflammation. prevent complications caused by these conditions. The cause of dermatitis can be caused by allergies to pollen, animal dander, chemicals, weather … causing skin irritation. Prevention and treatment of skin diseases caused by fungi and parasites: When infected with fungi and parasites, the skin will itch, causing mild and not dangerous infections. The types of fungi that are easily acquired include: foot fungus, yeast, ringworm, nail fungus, oral fungus… Skin infections caused by parasites are usually lice, bedbugs, scabies… When infected with fungi and parasites, the skin will have the following symptoms: redness and rash, itching, pain. At this time, it is recommended to use skin creams with antibacterial, antifungal effects or apply lotions to the skin for treatment. Avoid letting the disease get worse, causing the skin to have pus, blisters, peeling, darkening, necrosis, discoloration or pain in the skin. Most dangerous is a skin infection that can spread and enter the bloodstream which can be life-threatening. Helps cool the skin, relieve itching: In hot and humid weather, the sweat glands on the skin are easily blocked or inflamed, causing sweat stagnation and clogged dead cells. This makes the skin more prone to dryness and can also cause heat rash in children. Or if the skin is bitten by insects, mosquitoes, ants, it will cause the skin to be painful, swollen and uncomfortable, so use skin cream. Some skin creams work to care for the skin, cool the skin, reduce itching, swelling and prevent heat rash in children very effectively. After just a few minutes of applying it to the skin, the baby will feel cool, no longer itchy and the swelling will gradually disappear after a few days. Helps to treat diaper rash, heat rash, skin rash in children: Almost all children, especially babies, have symptoms of diaper rash, heat rash. This symptom causes the child’s skin to be red, swollen, rash, painful and worse, it can also cause skin cracking, bleeding, skin ulcers, and inflammation. This will make children uncomfortable, itchy, painful, fussy, refuse to eat, have trouble sleeping, seriously affecting health. Therefore, it is possible to choose topical creams with anti-inflammatory and skin-nourishing ingredients to reduce these symptoms for children. Do not arbitrarily apply creams to treat skin diseases for children. Ingredients in Skin Cream On the market today, there are many skin cream products with different effects, so their ingredients will also be different such as: Active ingredients have a cooling effect, soothing damaged skin or itchy skin areas that cause heat rash due to overheating, not being able to escape sweat. Active ingredients have anti-inflammatory, anti-infective effects, help reduce inflammation and itching. In addition, it can also inhibit and prevent the attack of harmful bacteria in the scratched skin or damaged areas on the skin. Active ingredients help regenerate new skin cells when the skin is damaged, stimulating new skin cells to recover. At the same time, it also dries and astrings quickly the scaly skin areas, accelerates the process of young skin, helps the disease recover quickly. Moisturizing, whitening active ingredients help improve dry skin condition. Medical expert advice Unlike adult skin, children’s skin is very delicate and sensitive. Therefore, skin creams for adults and children will have certain differences in terms of ingredients, active ingredients, concentrations, and concentrations. When choosing a cream for children’s skin, priority should be given to choosing products with ingredients extracted from nature: No preservatives, no side effects, skin irritation… to ensure safety. in use. At the same time, you should also choose skin creams that do not cause stickiness on the baby’s skin, creating a feeling of ventilation for the child’s skin. As a result, it will help the baby’s skin to be healthy, soft and smooth and prevent the symptoms of redness, itching on the skin effectively… However, the use of skin creams also requires specific advice and guidance from specialists. The use arbitrarily, using according to the advice … may not make the child from discomfort on the skin but also make the child sicker.

Subconsciously, Chelsea Wood dreams of becoming an ocean biologist, studying the lives of dolphins or diving deep into the sea to solve the mystery of the vast animal world. She has a special fondness for sea snails, spending time watching each little animal slowly moving inside the mini “laboratory”, a wooden basket. It took more than 20 years, Chelsea Wood, then known in the world of marine biology at the University of Washington, realized that the childhood world in a snail shell as a child hides life from the larvae. The flatworm species Cryptocotyle lingua (a common fish parasite), in the naive thinking of a young age, looks extremely adorable and has the charm of two black-eyed dots. Wood couldn’t take his eyes off the bizarre creature, and then constantly questioned their origins, so much so that he said, “One day, I’ll know who they are.” Going to college, Wood spends most of his time in the lab with his … stupid friends. Wood’s biological world lives on its host, like an outcast in the animal universe. Apparently, the scientific community is indebted to Chelsea Wood (et al.), When the researcher initiated the movement to preserve the parasites has always been estranged by science. The microscopic, “parasitic” world must make up nearly half of all known animals on Earth, but not all species are harmful to the host, including humans. The parasites make up nearly half of all known animals on Earth. Imagine one day in the next century, 10% of parasites disappear due to climate change, there is no suitable host, what will happen? Wood is concerned, but we’re indifferent. The International Union for Conservation of Nature only lists a few species of mussels or lice parasites as “high risk”, while the parasite world is extremely large. Chelsea Wood said that, neglecting the parasite, is accepting failure in biological science research. Scientifically contested, critically opposed the views of anyone who supported Chealsea Wood. Biology preserves the fallacy, that we are taking slow steps … but surely to explore the parasite world, not forget. A few support Chelsea Wood, believing that the achievements in parasitic research open up potential for breakthroughs in medicine, ecology and the history of species development. The charm of the parasite lurks within the ancient genetic resources to evolve, from the tiny “super evil” crustacean ready to kill the fish’s tongue to the wasps with venom that paralyzes the brain of cockroaches. We still envision creatures swung, stained and frightened, but the parasitic world impresses in their own way, and holds a key part of all species’ lives. Many, but not all Humans are superior animals, but share the same fate with the vast majority of other species such as lions, zebras or even fish and shrimp. That is, we all become hosts of many parasitic groups, even though humans do not show hospitality to them. Science believes that hundreds of different parasitic species have evolved to adapt to the body, and then attach their lives, including many generations to come, to the human body. Chealsea Wood doubted, from the time she was sitting in the university lab, about the parasite’s ability to “grow like a mushroom” – a moment when she thought of herself as a nutritious buffet. energy for any hunger in the biological world. Big idea met together. When ecologist Skylar Hopkins (University of North Carolina) defined the concept of parasitism, Wood seemed to open his eyes. The nature of the parasite is an incompatible symbiotic relationship between species, in which one species is a parasite, one is a parasite, the other is a host or a host. Just imagine this simple: species of parasites are not wild “race arms” like hunting – being eaten, but the trick of choosing a “leisurely” life with a big partner. Wood, and then Hopkins, foresaw that nature doesn’t like emptiness, and if given the chance, something evolved to fill that void. This becomes the foundation for the two scientists to mobilize a wave of in-depth research on parasites towards preventing the endangered threat of many species. New England buffalo leech suddenly disappeared for the past 10 years. Life on Earth formed inside a mixed bowl of soup, with primitive drops of Coacervate, making up countless creatures. The parasite thus evolved, over billions of years, from a single-celled microorganism to today’s complex vertebral body. Amateurs will be shocked if they know that parasites exist everywhere, from parasitic fungi, parasitic worms, to parasitic birds, even demon bats with their favorite “food” being the blood of other animals. The oblivion of science made Hopkins speak, and like Wood at first, received only the shake of his head. The Wood-Kins couple did not give up, but quietly enlarged parasite conservation research groups in the US, then spread to Europe, starting to implement a global plan in early 2021 with the media front: Journal of Biological Conservation. Ten years of tracing parasitic science, underwater or on land, are frustrating days when Wood-Kins has only kept two “ancient” data samples from the 1940s. Death and death – the host dies, the parasite dies, without any recorded evidence. The endangered rare dwarf pig in the foothills of the Himalayas made Chelsea Wood and Skylar Hopkins discouraged to learn that this pig-like blood-sucking lice have hardly disappeared. And what makes Wood-Kins want to give up most is his ambition to eradicate a parasitic louse on the California Falcon, or the New England buffalo leech that has been suddenly missing for the past ten years. Normalization of relations One winter night in December 2020, Skylar Hopkins received a long email with concerns about the world of parasites. How terrible would that biological universe, if one day disappear, be? Hopkins quietly painted a pale picture: the parasite is not worrying, only afraid that the ecosystem will “explode” without the parasites. Some people consider the female parasite needs to adjust the population, limit the individual quantity of the species to keep the balance for the ecosystem. Some people assume that no parasite means that many species lose their food source. Hopkins believes this, because some parasites transform their hosts to evolve, manipulate the “mentality” of new owners, turning new hosts into good prey for other species. Hopkins called this a talent for hypnosis, she discovered in the horse mane worms (Nematomorpha) specialized in cricket parasites, thanks to the substance capable of destroying the nervous system that prompted the owner to voluntarily jump into the water and drown. The host dies, the horse maneworms will escape and begin a new cycle with the next victim, while the crickets become food for freshwater salmon. With Chelsea Wood, humans do not rush to a universe without parasites. In many countries like the United States, the disappearance of some intestinal parasites has caused many confusing autoimmune diseases. Thinking explains it in a way: the immune system evolved along with an “association” of parasites and protozoa, so losing this association begins to attack itself. That is why many people with Crohn’s disease (chronic trans-walled enteritis) have sought a cure when rebalancing the intestinal ecosystem with some parasitic species. Horse mane worms are capable of hypnosis, causing the cricket host to commit suicide. Obviously, the movement Wood-Kins initiated, which made even the hardest of people more or less happy. Dr. Bobbi Pritt, for example, famous at the Mayo Clinic for his “anti-parasitic” view, is always busy carrying blood tubes containing dozens of malaria parasites, looking closely at the diseased brain tissue. Toxoplasma curvature to nest, or cure ulcers from sandfly bites. Blog page “Poisonous, Crazy but Beautiful” was born, towards the medical point of view is to remove pathogenic parasites but need to dig deep into research and be ready to preserve when needed. It seems that Wood and Hopkins have successfully conveyed the message: we do not need to love parasites, but should “normalize” their relationship when there are many hidden parasitic mysteries to nature and species themselves. people. With mother of nature, understanding first and then knowing what the next step should be …

Many crab farmers in Ca Mau lost a portion of their profits due to lower crab prices Mr. Nguyen Van District (living in Cai Nuoc district, Ca Mau province), said he has been with crab farming for nearly 20 years, thanks to the job, his family’s life is increasingly improved. Previously, on the occasion of Tiet Thanh minh, the prices of crabs increased sharply, but this year there is a “scenario” that is hard to expect. “On March 10 (lunar calendar), I set up in the square to catch weak and soft brick crabs … and put them in the pond to feed them to sell at high prices on the occasion of Tiet Thanh. crab not only did not increase but also decreased by over and under 100,000 VND / kg, which made me and many other farmers lose a part of their profits, ”said Mr. District. According to many traders, recently dead crabs in some districts in Ca Mau province are one of the reasons why the best crab in the West has decreased on the occasion of Tiet Thanh minh. “After buying crabs, my family packed them in boxes and sent them to Can Tho, Ho Chi Minh City … for consumption. However, recently in the process of transporting crabs have lost a lot”, traders NCL share. Previously, crabs raised by many households in the southern districts of Ca Mau province died abnormally. In farming households in Nam Can and Ngoc Hien districts, crabs are weak and die quickly after being harvested from the water surface, mortality is more than 50% of crabs in the farming square. As for the ones that are still alive, the quality of meat is low … Then, samples of crabs, mud and water are sent for testing. The results show that water quality factors are within the limits for crab growth. Particularly in the sludge sample, the density of bacteria capable of causing disease (vibro parahaemolyticus) is quite high, the crabs are still infected with some external parasites such as nematodes, zoothamium sp, parasites (cypris) in the nipple sinuses. , liver …

The head is the waste-bearing part of the shrimp and accumulates many heavy metals such as arsenic. So we should not eat shrimp heads. For pregnant women, the toxicity of arsenic heavy metals is often very strong, eating a lot can lead to fetal defects or miscarriage. Big shrimp need clean processing, remove the head to ensure safety.

Illustration.

To gain weight, people often pump brine shrimp, even glixerin – substances from fat hydrolysis. The impurities pumped shrimp is a suitable medium for bacteria to grow.

If you eat this type of shrimp, you will be at risk of poisoning, dangerous diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, digestive disorders.

In addition to the first part, when buying shrimp, mothers need to observe whether the shrimp’s legs are still attached to the body or not, the shrimp meat must be firm. In addition, you should not choose to buy shrimp whose legs have turned black as this is a sign that they are no longer fresh.

Note when processing and eating shrimp

Do not process shrimp in combination with vegetables, tubers and fruits rich in vitamin C. When vitamin C meets toxins available in shrimp, it will spread leading to food poisoning.

Everyone thinks, shrimp shells contain a lot of calcium. However, this is not true. Shrimp shells are hard due to the main component of chitin, a polymer that makes up the shell for most crustaceans. The main source of calcium for shrimp is from shrimp meat. In addition, the shells of some shrimp species are relatively difficult to digest, absolutely not for children to eat because they are prone to choking.

In addition, the black or white thread on the back of the shrimp (also called the shrimp thread) is the digestive tract of the shrimp that contains the stomach and colon. This route is usually only seen in large shrimp. Eating shrimp sugar is not harmful to health, because the bacteria in shrimp thread die at high temperatures when cooked. However, you should remove the shrimp sugar to make the dish cleaner and more secure.
