Actually, food poisoning means food poisoning i.e. food acting like poison by going into the body. This is usually caused by eating spoiled, stale, or food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or other germs. It is very important to treat food poisoning as soon as possible and if not done so, sometimes there is a risk of serious health problems. Food poisoning is usually seen more in children, behind which there can be many different reasons. If this disease is not serious, then it can be treated even at home. Let us know what are the causes of food poisoning in children and its home remedies. Causes of frequent food poisoning in children 1. Weak Immunity Children's body is gradually developing and along with it their immune system is also getting stronger. Due to the weak immunity of sma...

These viruses infect amoebae, little more than single-celled blobs that live in soil and water, but experiments indicated that the viruses do still have the potential to be infectious pathogens. The team introduced the viruses into a culture of live amoebae, showing that they were still capable of invading a cell and replicating. The project comes from a team of researchers at Aix-Marseille University in France who previously revived a 30,000-year-old virus found in Siberian permafrost in 2014. With the latest bunch of viruses including one that dates to 48,500 years ago, the researchers have possibly revived the oldest virus yet. “48,500 years is a world record,” Jean-Michel Claverie, one of the paper’s authors and a professor of genomics and bioinformatics at the Aix-Marseille University’s School of Medicine, told New Scientist. Writing in their paper, the researchers explain that more work needs to focus on eukaryote-infecting viruses, noting that “very few studies have been pu...

All the viruses in the environment have one characteristic in common - they mutate. SARS-CoV-2 is no different, the virus, found in 2019 has mutated several times giving birth to new variants and sub-variants. One of the most dangerous mutations that the virus went through was delta, the dominant strain which led to the ferocious second wave of COVID-19 in India. However, there was another variant which overpowered delta and became one of the most concerning strains of COVID-19 - Omicron, the variant of coronavirus which is carrying over 42 worrisome mutations in its spike protein, which makes it capable of infecting fully immunized individuals as well. Omicron has two more sub-lineages BA.4 and BA.5 which are the result of further mutations in the variant. BA.5 Has A New Set of Symptoms As the new COVID variant, Omicron is spreading at a fast pace across the countries, health experts have cautioned that it can cause a whole array of signs and symptoms, many of them different or les...
