And a word with similar roots as Asthma was also seen in Homer's Iliad. The word comes from the Greek and means Labored Breathing. The word Asthma was first used to describe an illness 500 years later by the famous Greek physician, and father of Medicine, Hippocrates. The Romans also recorded this condition and used various remedies to try and cure it.       

MITES - Any of about 20,000 species of tiny arthropod invertebrates belonging to the subclass Acari  - sometimes Acarina, or Acarida, of the class Arachnida.

Mites live in varied habitats: in brackish water, in fresh water, in hot springs, in soil, on plants, and as parasites on and in animals. Parasitic forms may live in the nasal passages, lungs, stomach, or deeper body tissues of animals. Some mites are carriers of human and animal diseases. Plant-feeding mites cause damage by feeding on leaf tissues or by transmitting viral diseases.

Mites are small, often microscopic in size—the smallest being about 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in length and the largest being about 6 mm (0.25 inch)—and they usually have four pairs of legs. In general, they breathe by means of tracheae, or air tubes; in many species, however, respiration takes place through the skin.

House-dust allergy is caused by species of Dermatophagoides, a common arthropod.

The House Dust Mite [DUSTMITE] or HDM as some allergists refer to it, is a multinational visitor to human habitation. Dust mites feed on the organic detritus that is produced by the Human Animal, such as flakes of human skin. They flourish in the enduring environment of our homes and outhouses, living out their lives sometimes unbeknown to their host. House dust mites are a common cause of asthma and other allergic symptoms worldwide. Some of the gut enzymes, notably proteases, produced by the house mite persist in their fecal matter, and can be strongly allergenic. The European house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) and the American house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae) are two different species, but are not necessarily confined to Europe or North America; a third species Euroglyphus maynei also occurs widely.

 

Dust Mites are especially abundant in mattresses, carpets, pillows, winter clothing and sometimes on household pets, like   DOGS.      One double-bed may have as many as 500 million mites and there are 47 known species of dustmites.       Just like FLEAS,  dust-mites have evolved and developed to accommodate individual animals who are their " host ".  There are 11 species of mites that have been found on mattresses and in bedding, others prefer human skin scales and others gravitate towards dogs, cats and birds.

Bacteria  - Microscopic single-celled organisms found wherever life is possible. Generally 0.0001–0.005 mm long, they may be spherical (coccus), rodlike (bacillus), or spiral-shaped (spirillum) and often occur in chains or clusters of cells. True bacteria have a rigid cell wall, which may be surrounded by a slimy capsule, and they often have long whip-like flagella for locomotion and short hair-like pili used in a form of sexual reproduction. A few bacteria can use simple chemical substances, including carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, to manufacture their own nutrients, but most require a source of carbon derived from living organisms (i.e. organic carbon) plus other nutrients for growth. Some bacteria can reproduce every 15 minutes, leading to rapid population growth.

The most important role of bacteria is in decomposing dead plant and animal tissues and releasing their constituents to the soil (see carbon cycle). Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil or sea convert atmospheric nitrogen gas to nitrites and nitrates, which can then be used by plants (see nitrogen cycle). Cheese making and fermentation reactions depend on bacteria. Bacteria also play an important part in animal digestion, especially in ruminants. However, certain (pathogenic) species may cause disease while others, such as Salmonella, can cause food poisoning.

How Does Your Body Fight Infection?

Immunity   -  The resistance of the body to infection, especially resistance due to antibodies. Babies have passive immunity from antibodies transferred from the mother’s blood through the placenta. Active immunity involves the formation of antibodies after exposure to an antigen - bacteria that invade the body during an infection are antigens. The two different kinds of immune response produced by antibodies involve: white blood cells called T-lymphocytes - produced by the thymus, which produce cells with antibody properties bound to their surface and are responsible for such reactions as graft rejection; B-lymphocytes, which produce cells that release free antibody into the blood.

Leucocyte - lymphocytes - or white blood cell. A colorless cell found in large numbers in the blood. There are several kinds, all involved in the body’s defense mechanisms. Granulocytes and monocytes destroy and feed on bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infection -  see also phagocyte. The lymphocytes are involved with the production of antibodies.

Phagocyte   -  A cell that engulfs and then digests particles from its surroundings: this process is called phagocytosis. In vertebrate animals, phagocytes are a type of white blood cell that protect the body by engulfing bacteria and other foreign particles.

Immunization is the production of immunity by an injection containing antibodies against specific diseases e.g. tetanus and diphtheria, which provides temporary passive immunity, or by vaccination, which produces the longer lasting active immunity.

Antibody   -  A protein produced by certain white blood cells  - lymphocytes that reacts with a particular foreign particle e.g. a bacterium,  that has entered the body. The antibody helps to destroy the foreign particle, known as the antigen. If the same bacteria invade the body in future, many more of the same antibodies are produced, enabling the body to destroy the bacteria very rapidly and so resist infection. This provides the basis of  immunity. Antibodies are also responsible for the rejection of foreign tissue or organ transplants. See also monoclonal antibody.

Monoclonal antibody  -  A type of pure antibody that can be produced artificially in large quantities and used, for example, to distinguish the major blood groups. Mouse lymphocytes producing the required antibody are fused with mouse cancer cells; the resulting hybrid cells multiply rapidly and all produce the same type of antibody as their parent lymphocytes.

Whilst all this bodily protection sounds wonderful, the problem with MRSA, is that there is no defence to it, no answer to its attack.

 

 

 

  

There are billions of INSECTS scampering about, as we speak. But dust mites are only one kind of insect, among billions of other types of insect. It has been calculated that if all insects could be weighed en masse, their total weight would be FOUR TIMES greater than the total weight of all human beings on the planet.

A Dust Mite is not strictly a parasite.

Parasite   -   An organism living in or on another organism of a different species, called the host, from which it obtains food and protection. Many parasites have complex life cycles, with one or more intermediate hosts, of different species, supporting them during their development. The study of parasites - parasitology - is of importance in medicine since many parasites, such as bacteria, fungi, either cause or transmit disease. Many plants are either partly or completely parasitic.

Blood cells

There are a number of different cell types in circulation in the blood stream. Here's a quick review:

Red cells carry oxygen to the cells of the body. They are essentially bags of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying molecule. Hemoglobin binds oxygen to iron atoms, which give the hemoglobin and thus the cells their distinctive red color.

 

Red Blood Cells

White cells (neutrophils) are of several types:

 

White Blood Cells

Polymorphonuclear cells, or "polys" for short, fight bacterial infections by engulfing bacteria and digesting them. They form PUS and are the chief ingredient of an abscess.

Lymphocytes are the virus killers. There are two types of these:

T-cells which remember what germs we've been exposed to and how to kill them. T-cells are the key component of the immune system that is missing in AIDS.

 

T-Cells and Platelets - One White Cell - Several Red.

B-cells that secrete the actual antibodies that attach to viruses and bacteria and identify them as things to be destroyed - rather like tagging the target with a laser so that the smart bomb will home in and blast the target.

Monocytes are cells that are related to lymphocytes but have a killing and cleaning function. They cruise through the tissues of the body cleaning up debris and killing any bacteria they find. They are often increased in viral infections - a reassuring finding that your doctor may note on your child's blood count.

Eosinophils are cells which are strongly related to allergy and the recognition of foreign things in the body like parasites.

Basophils are cells that are also part of the allergy and parasite recognition system.

Platelets are the cells that plug leaks in the vascular system, the clotting cells.

Prion - An an infectious protein particle called a Prion or Prion Protein. These prions appear to have the ability to recruit other normal proteins and induce them to alter their structure to become more prions, that act as vehicles of infection. This is quite different from other infectious diseases, commonly caused by bacteria or viruses. Prions are not a genetic.

 

Prions are implicated in BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or Mad Cow Disease) and its human counterpart nvCJD (new variant Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease). These and similar diseases are known as TSEs (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies). TSEs afflict other species, most famously sheep (scrapie). The image above is 600 pixels across and the original is 3,548 pixels across.

 

Allergy - An abnormal reaction by the body to certain substances, including pollen, dust, certain foods and drugs, fur, moulds, etc. Normally all foreign substances (antigens) entering the body are destroyed by antibodies. Allergic people, however, become hypersensitive to certain antigens (called allergens), so that whenever they are encountered in future they stimulate not only the normal antibody reaction but also the abnormal symptoms of the allergy, such as sneezing and skin rashes. Allergic conditions include hay fever, some forms of asthma and dermatitis, and urticaria. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids and desensitization.

The great people of the United Kingdom have had it recently pointed out that they may not be as clean at home as they think. Whilst it is almost a national joke that the British house-holder buys copious amounts of disinfectant, antiseptics, soap, polish and smelly air-sprays each year, perhaps some are buying more than others.  These Western Europeans probably are in the top five highest world users of such products; however, it has been discovered by US 'experts' that the typical UK indoor flooring is five times filthier than the street outside. This must be adjudged seriously when it could be considered that the litter-strewn streets Britain probably rates also in the top five of the dirtiest streets in the civilized world.

Remarkably, apparently around 10 percent of British homes never ever clean their carpets; are we talking vacuum-cleaning here, or the actual soap cleansing wash?  Both, amazingly  24% of British domestic domains do not in point of fact  own a vacuum cleaner, it is no  wonder the National Health Service asthmatic waiting lists, and cases of rogue infections, like MRSA,  are so high.

Dustmites can make their home in mattresses, pillows, blankets, quilts, carpets and fabric covered furniture. The more these items come in contact with people, the more likely dust mites will be present, and be able to survive.

Most animals, including the human animal shed pounds of skin flakes, dust-mite food, every year, most homes in the world are actual breeding grounds for a litany of health problems, like asthma.  It is hard to imagine that we are not all actually ankle deep in debris but nevertheless we all naturally lose skin, head and pubic hairs by the thousands every year. A combined household of four normal adult occupants shed over three pounds in weight of skin flakes annually. That is about half a kilo for our continental viewers, which sounds more.   Over 80% of the material seen floating in a sunbeam is actually flakes of skin.   And what with all the vaporized sweat, breath and spit that settles on the floor at a rate of pints each day, and the acres of soil, pollen, food crumbs and other miscellaneous dirt fragments, including dried dog faeces, brought in from outside by wind or boot, a painful picture is painted of some rather nasty concoctions living in our very home.

They are most prolific in bedrooms as this area has an ambience  that the dust mite loves. A bed can contain many thousands of them and an aging pillow can owe a fifth of its weight not to filling or feathers but to mites, dead and alive, but mainly their droppings. 

A recent survey by an American carpet cleaning firm, stated that many carpets in British living-rooms are an ideal breeding ground for a myriad of organic material. Millions of dustmites, thousands of fleas, a selection of Bedbugs and all their children, might live in a carpet that has not seen a vacuum cleaner since it was last in the carpet store. 

Though this is an international problem, it is not just a British dilemma.  This household filth in any country is a seaside villa to the mighty house dust-mite.  Dust-mites must be in heaven, as it must be the human equivalent of being locked in the Cadbury chocolate factory. But this is a two edged sword. Every ounce of faecal mater has come from a pound of human skin, so if we did not have dust mites surely there would be a lot more skin about.

The spider-like, house dust mites are 0.2 - 0.3 mm long and translucent. These microscopic foragers, which feed on anything organic as well as skin shed by people and pets, are indeed invisible to the naked eye, but they can be found even in the cleanest of homes.  just a gram of dust may contain up to 5,000 mites, and an ounce of dust may host 150,000. So it is not hard to believe that you just cannot see them crawling about.

 A dust mite's tough, translucent cuticle exoskeleton  has deep body ridges that can be seen from both the dorsal and ventral views. They have long hairs, the setae, extending from the outer margins of the body, with shorter hairs on the rest of the body. Being related to the Spider, they have eight legs, but no eyes, no antennae and no mouthparts in front of their bodies, the head. Female mites lay between 40 and 80 eggs in a lifetime. A lifetime can be as short as three weeks or as long as seven weeks.

The humble dust-mite lives in carpets, soft toys as well as with us in our proverbial beds. House dust mites are nearly universal in occurrence - a typical bed mattress may  contain anything from 100,000 to 10 million mites.

A dust-mite, Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus, produce more than 200 times their own weight in faeces, 2,000 droppings, in a life time. A protein not only in the dust mite itself, but mainly in their faecal matter is the reason, many of us can suffer so much. When this allergen becomes airborne and is inhaled, it can trigger asthma, hay fever or itchy skin reactions. A single mite can produce up to 20 microscopic pellets of faecal matter daily.

In one's travels, as maybe a milkman, delivery-person, sales-person or even just visiting friends or relations, you will soon discover how comfortable you feel being sat in someone's home. The first thing you notice is the smell,  that hits you either with pleasure or horror. You know almost immediately how you are going to feel by staying too long, least of all being offered something to eat or drink.

Though on saying that, most houses  I have visited and I have been to quite a few, have not been too bad. They ranged from the operating theater clean, rooms so orderly that Monica Geller would have been proud,  to those that were just bearable, to those that made you wipe your feet on the way out. 

There is no doubt that when dealing with mites and or fleas, not forgetting bacteria, the new wave vacuum cleaner is our best weapon. Moreover, since Dyson reinvented the Hoover, to actually show us all the crap we are living in, 'hoovering' has become more enjoyable and visibly an essential chore. Soon everyone will have a see-through hoover as even those of the 24% will buy up the second-hand models from car-boot and garage sales.

So, after reading this article, if when the friend's cat jumps off the sofa onto the carpet and there is a small dust cloud you will perhaps think whether this household is one of those 24% who do not own a cleaner, or the occupier just wants to save electricity. Actually a good carpet can 'filter' the dust by holding it hidden amongst the fibers. Some carpets can hold an amazing two pounds in weight of dry crap and dust, per square foot. An ordinary house may have up to 1000 square feet of carpets and not only is it a dust store, it is home to a zoo full of little beings.

Tips to fight against Dust Mites

  • No pesticides are currently approved for control of house dust mites, as you could absorb them as you sleep.

  • Replace feather and down pillows with synthetic fillings.

  • Enclose the mattress top and sides with a special synthetic cover. Thoroughly vacuuming the mattress especially the base and head of the bed. But try to keep the mattress as dry as possible; dust mites like it damp, especially with sweat.

  • Change and wash pillowcases, sheets, and under blankets regularly. Vacuum the bed base and around the covered mattress weekly.

  • Frequently wash all bedding (blankets, mattress pads and comforters) in hot water (60oC weekly). Also wash curtains regularly.

  • Frequent vacuuming as a dust control measure is more likely to aggravate allergic asthmatic conditions because old style vacuums are inefficient - dust collection by conventional vacuums results in a significant increase in air borne dust concentrations. 

  • Vacuuming is best accomplished by cleaners that trap dust in a clear plastic container or even liquid medium such as water rather than a dust bag. Unless you have one of the new see through type; just keep hoovering and emptying; hoovering and emptying until all the dust is gone.

 IMPORTANT NOTE

We said over TEN years ago that a good way of keeping dustmites to a minimum, was to NOT make your bed, but to throw the bed-clothes back and open the windows wide, to have a good blow through. Many laughed, but a recent study has now concurred with this practice. 

Domestic Dustmites, like every creature, have a specific environment that it has evolved to suit. These mites tend to be most numerous in warmer homes with high humidity. So keep your bedroom cool or cold; you will actually sleep better in a cool bedroom, as opposed to a warm centrally-heated one. The most favorable conditions for growth and development of dust mites are around 77 degrees Fahrenheit, which is around 25 degrees Celsius. With  70 - 80 percent relative humidity.

 House dust mites absorb and lose moisture easily through their skin, and like most insects, are very vulnerable to dehydration. You will sweat pints of water and body oils in a night. You will lose hundreds of skin-flakes. And if you then protect the mite's environment with a thick quilt and central heating, the mite can do nothing but multiply unhindered. Thus producing more allergens that make you suffer.

By throwing the bed-clothes back and opening the window and the bedroom door, this flow of cool air dries the room out and blows out dust and other contributors to a bad night's sleep.

**********************************

ALSO:  Always wear a top in bed, that goes from the neck, and covers your arms. Sleeping with your top naked might be OK, but it will stimulate a greater sensitivity to allergens. 

Also, clean your teeth as soon as you get up, failing to wash your teeth will stimulate a greater sensitivity to allergens. Do NOT drink a tea or coffee, without cleaning your teeth, first. There will be a multitude of bad bacteria that needs to be cleaned out; your body has enough to do. 

In theory you can get on top of the job and reduce allergy suffering by a large percentage. Studies have shown that in high-altitude Alpine resorts though, both the humidity and the surrounding air temperatures are too low for the dust mite to survive whereas warm, humid temperatures increase their metabolic rate, reproduction levels and chances of survival. And because warm air can hold more moisture than cool air, when the central heating comes on the mites are happy. So never have central heating in your bedroom, and keep the room well aired during the day. (Watch out for burglars.)

If none of this works, take two aspirin and ring me in the morning.

STD's - These bacterial and viral infections are related to sex, but of course have historically been associated with oral-sex and the vagina. In most all cases though they can cause some form of bodily infection and are transmitted through some form of sex. HIV/ AIDS is also listed below. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) can often be transmitted even though both partners firmly believe they are infection free. The incubation period of a disease, is the period of time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. So during the incubation period, partners can transfer a virus or bacteria without even knowing. John Winston Lennon, an icon of idealism, creativity and hope, was born on October 9, 1940 to a dysfunctional, working-class Liverpool family. He was born during an air raid from the German Air Force, in WWII. So pleased that he and his mother had survived, they chose his second name as Winston, after the great war-leader Churchill.

Cellulose in this case refers to wood. Termites have for millions of years been eating the majority of fallen trees, dead trees and rotting trees, from all around the world. It is said that the world would be totally covered in a ten meter pile of rotting timber, if it was not for the Termite.
NEW ICE-AGE BY 2080 - READ IT HERE ! ! MITES - Any of about 20,000 species of tiny arthropod invertebrates belonging to the subclass Acari - sometimes Acarina, or Acarida, of the class Arachnida. Mites live in varied habitats: in brackish water, in fresh water, in hot springs, in soil, on plants, and as parasites on and in animals. Parasitic forms may live in the nasal passages, lungs, stomach, or deeper body tissues of animals. Some mites are carriers of human and animal diseases. Plant-feeding mites cause damage by feeding on leaf tissues or by transmitting viral diseases. Mites are small, often microscopic in size—the smallest being about 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in length and the largest being about 6 mm (0.25 inch)—and they usually have four pairs of legs. In general, they breathe by means of tracheae, or air tubes; in many species, however, respiration takes place through the skin ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoid, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is because of their small size and large numbers relative to the nine major planets that asteroids are also called minor planets. The two designations are frequently used interchangeably, though dynamicists, astronomers who study individual objects with dynamically interesting orbits or groups of objects with similar orbital characteristics, generally use the term minor planet, whereas those who study the physical properties of such objects usually refer to them as asteroids. LISTEN TO VIRGIN RADIO UK - CLICK HERE ANTS - any member of the approximately 8,000 species of the insect family Formicidae - order Hymenoptera. Ants occur worldwide but are especially common in hot climates. All ants are social in habit; i.e., they live together in organized colonies, and they range in size from 2 to about 25 millimeters, about 0.08 to 1 inch. Their color is usually yellow, brown, red, or black. A few genera, e.g., Pheidole of North America, have a metallic luster. AIDS - Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome, a fatal transmissible disease of the immune system, caused by the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus - HIV. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was allegedly first recognized in Zaire, in 1976. Three thousand acres of life-giving plants are still eaten away by some circumstance every hour of every day.

Put up your hand, if you did not know this, and also that the planet's WATER and ENERGY sources are dwindling
Forest Land - Forest covered with trees and undergrowth. Over 20% of the Earth's land-surface is forest, providing valuable oxygen, timber, and habitats for wildlife. Northern coniferous forests consist largely of pine, spruce, and firs. The World is Starving - 50,000 people die every day due to the lack of food, drugs and medical care. Sahara desert Facts - The Sahara Desert is a great desert area, North Africa, the West portion of the broad belt of parched land that extends from the Atlantic Ocean eastward past the Red Sea to Iraq. The entire desert, the largest in the world, is about 1600 km wide and about 5000 km long from East to West. TRAINING YOUR BIG DOG - How To Train Your Big Dog The Taliban - Persian Tālebān - Students. Also spelled Taleban. An ultra conservative political and religious faction that emerged in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s following the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the collapse of Afghanistan's communist regime, and the subsequent breakdown in civil order. The faction took its name from its membership, which consisted largely of students trained in Madrasah's Islamic religious schools, that were established for Afghan refugees in the1980s in northern Pakistan Lucifer - In Christian tradition, the leader of the angels expelled from heaven for rebelling against God. Known thereafter as Satan (Hebrew: adversary) or the Devil, he presides over the souls condemned to torment in Hell. He is identified with the serpent that tempted Eve (Genesis 3.1–6) and the great red dragon cast out of heaven by Michael (Revelation 12.3–9). The exact nature of Lucifer’s sin was much debated; the commonest view is that his sin was pride. John Lennon - The Beatles - Why Not Use SURF & LISTEN - Click On POP ! Health Problems??

He was born Samuel Leroy Jackson on the 21st of December, 1948, in Washington DC. His father left when he was very young, moving to Kansas City, Missouri, leaving Samuel to be raised by his mother, Elizabeth, and his grandparents, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Granddad was a janitor, while Elizabeth worked in a factory (later she'd be a supply buyer for a state mental institution). MALARIA - A serious, acute and chronic relapsing infection in humans, characterized by periodic attacks of chills and fever, anemia, enlargement of the spleen - splenomegaly, and often fatal complications. Malaria also is found in apes, monkeys, rats, birds, and reptiles. It is caused by various species of protozoa, a one-celled organism - called Sporozoans, that belong to the genus Plasmodium. These parasites are transmitted to humans by the bite of various species of mosquitoes belonging to the genus Anopheles . Mosquito - A small flying biting insect that could be described as a type of Fly. It lives worldwide, especially in the tropics. It has long legs and a slender abdomen, Culex Forma. In most species the males feed on plant juices or nectar. The females puncture the skin with a long proboscis, to suck the blood of mammals, quite often transmitting serious diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Encephalitis and Yellow Fever. The mosquito is not strictly a parasite. Hay fever An allergy to pollen, which leads to sneezing, a streaming nose, and inflamed eyes. Treatment involves taking antihistamines or, in severe cases, steroids. - ALLERGIES - hypersensitive reaction by the body to foreign substances - antigens, that in similar amounts and circumstances are harmless within the bodies of other people. World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago. (See Researcher's Note: Heights of Buildings.) Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center). SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits.
CULVER CITY, CA May 19, 2005 – Topher Grace has joined the cast of Spider-Man® 3, it was announced by director Sam Raimi and producers Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studio's Avi Arad. Grace will join Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and Thomas Haden Church in the blockbuster franchise. Spider-Man 3 is scheduled for release on May 4, 2007, and will reunite returning cast members with director Sam Raimi and producers Ziskin and Arad, the successful filmmaking team responsible for the first two films. Fleas have been around for millions of years - a fossilized flea found in Australia is said to be 200 million years old. It does not differ significantly from today's fleas. Different species can be found from the Arctic Circle to the Arabian deserts - even penguins have fleas which counteract the cold by ensuring that their growth into adulthood coincides with the time when penguins are sitting firmly on their eggs, thereby keeping both fleas and their young in a warm environment! Huntington's Disease is due to a dominant and faulty genetic disorder on chromosome 4.  The consequence of the fault with this gene starts around or just before middle age,  and leads to a gradual physical, mental and emotional change in its victim. Huntington's Disease was named after the American, Dr. George Huntington, as in 1872 he was the first person to document an accurate description of the symptoms and the route of the disease. - The loss of these cells causes intense symptoms and eventually death. As the condition advances, it becomes more difficult for the patient to walk and speak. Memory and intellectual functions continue to decline, until the end. By far of the majority of patients are placed in hospices for special care. THE LOUSE - also called the Body Louse -Pediculus Humanus, one of the most common sucking lice, found wherever human beings live. There are two sub-species of the common human louse: Pediculus Humanus Capitis, the Head Louse, and P. Humanus Humanus, the body louse, or cootie. The body louse is an important carrier of epidemic typhus; other louse-borne human diseases are trench fever and relapsing fever World Light - The Earth's Street Lights seen by a NASA satellite - CLONE - also spelled clon population of genetically identical cells or organisms that are derived originally from a single original cell or organism by asexual methods. Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it. COCKROACHES - Dictyoptera - An order of insects comprising the cockroaches - suborder Blattaria) and the mantids - suborder Mantodea, occurring mainly in tropical regions. Cockroaches are oval and flattened in shape; some have a single well-developed pair of wings, folded back over the abdomen at rest, while in others the wings may be reduced or absent. They are usually found in forest litter, feeding on dead organic matter, but some species, e.g. the American cockroach - Periplaneta Americana, are major household pests, scavenging on starchy foods, fruits, etc. In most species the females produce capsules - the (oothecae containing 16 - 40 eggs. These are either deposited or carried by the female during incubation.
Asthma is not a new phenomenon, as its recent insurgence would suggest. - Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded around 3500 years ago in an Egyptian manuscript called the Ebers Papyrus. And a word with similar roots as Asthma was also seen in Homer's Iliad. The word comes from the Greek and means Labored Breathing. The word Asthma was first used to describe an illness 500 years later by the famous Greek physician, and father of Medicine, Hippocrates. The Romans also recorded this condition and used various remedies to try and cure it. ALL ABOUT BREEDING YOUR DOG - How To Breed Your Dog BEDBUG - Any member of the approximately 75 species of nocturnal insects of the family Cimicidae - order Heteroptera, that feed by sucking the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. The reddish brown, or mahogany adult is broad and flat. It is only 4 to 5 mm, less than 0.2 inch long. The greatly withered, scaly vestigial wings are inconspicuous and non-functioning. You know they are about, when you see you have mysterious bite marks - small red dots. You can also see small telltale black marks, on sheets and mattresses. Bedbugs also have a distinctive oily odor, that results from a secretion of scent from their stink glands. Health Problems?? We have many pages on a variety of ailments. ALLERGIES - ANTHRAX - ATHLETES FOOT - MALARIA - MENINGITIS - MRSA - SMELLY FEET - The June Bug - Cotinus Nitida - Linnaeus - Really a Flying Beetle - " I'm coming to get you!! " - Cotinus Nitida - The June Bug, also called May Beetle, or July Bug - Any insect of the genus Phyllophaga, belonging to the widely distributed, plant-feeding subfamily Melolonthinae - family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera. These red-brown / green or even orange beetles commonly appear in the Northern Hemisphere during warm spring evenings and are attracted to lights. The heavy-bodied June beetles vary from 12 to 25 mm - 0.5 to 1 inch, and have shiny wing covers (elytra). They feed on foliage and flowers at night, sometimes causing considerable damage. June beetle larvae, called white grubs, are about 25 mm long and live in the soil. They can destroy crops, like, corn [maize], small grains, potatoes, strawberries, and they can kill lawns and pastures by severing the grasses from the roots. TICK - A widely distributed parasitic arachnid - related to Spiders and Scorpions, that sucks the blood of mammals, reptiles and birds, and may transmit such diseases as Typhus, Lymes Disease and Relapsing Fever. Its round body can be as small as a millimeter, or up to 30 mm long, with eight bristly legs. After feeding, the adults drop off the host and lay eggs on the ground. The larvae attach themselves to a suitable victim, feed, then drop off and molt into nymphs, which repeat the procedure. They have been compared to being similar to the Mite. An insect is a six legged creature, but all of this sized organisms once came from the same ancestor. Athlete's Foot is a skin condition caused by a fungus, that typically occurs between the toes. This picture is the classic condition, and very common. It is also at a stage where it is being restrained, not cured, only by being kept reasonably clean. WE HAVE A CURE.
Meningitis is an infection of the clear plasma-like fluid of a person's spinal cord and the same fluid that surrounds the brain. Meningitis is sometimes referred to as Spinal Meningitis. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection; itis mean inflammation, so the infection causes an inflammation of these areas. PILES - Hemroids and their symptoms are one of the most common afflictions in the Western world. In fact, hemroids can occur at any age and can affect both women and men. Because the presence of hemorrhoidal tissue is normal - it acts as a compressible lining which allows the anus to close completely. Unfortunately, hemroids tend to get worse over time, and disease should be treated as soon as it occurs. Clostridium Difficile, is now recognized as the chief cause of HAI - Diarrhea in the US and Europe, and not only in hospitals but also in nursing homes and other facilities for long term care. Initial recognition of this disease began in the 1970s, with reports of a serious, sometimes lethal colitis, characterized by the formation of pseudo-membranous plaques. The cause was identified as Clostridium Difficile in 1978.  Allergy - An abnormal reaction by the body to certain substances, including pollen, dust, certain foods and drugs, fur, moulds, etc. Normally all foreign substances (antigens) entering the body are destroyed by antibodies. Allergic people, however, become hypersensitive to certain antigens (called allergens), so that whenever they are encountered in future they stimulate not only the normal antibody reaction but also the abnormal symptoms of the allergy, such as sneezing and skin rashes. Allergic conditions include hay fever, some forms of asthma and dermatitis, and urticaria. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids and desensitization. The human papilloma virus - HPV, causes several different types of warts, which are the most common type of skin infection. In some cases, the HPV virus dies within 1 or 2 years, and warts simply disappear. Verrucas, also called Warts, well-defined small growth of varying shape on the skin surface, caused by a virus. The wart is composed of an abnormal proliferation of cells of the epidermis; the overproduction of these cells is caused by the viral infection. The most common type of wart is a round, raised lesion having a dry and rough surface; flat or threadlike lesions are also seen. Warts are usually painless, except for those in pressure areas, such as the plantar warts, or Verrucas, that occur on the sole of the foot. They may occur as isolated lesions or grow profusely, especially in moist regions of the body surface. Worms, some say, have been around in one form or shape for about 600 million years. We actually share some DNA with all worms. There are perhaps up to 35,000 different types of these legless invertebrates, that we call worms. Some scurry about on the surface of the land, some live just beneath, whilst others bury themselves deep into the Earth's surface. Many live in the sea, and some have been found deep down on the bottom. Some are so small you cannot see them with the naked-eye, others are so big, they could be snakes. An Earthworm can live for ten years, living and eating in our gardens. They have no eyes, or ears and never sleep. Pound for pound, as they are made of mostly muscle they can be 1,000 times stronger than the strongest man, so next time you call a person a worm, think. Acne can affect people from ages 9 through to middle-age. Acne can show up as any of the following; congested pores, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, pustules, or cysts - deep pimples, spots. These blemishes occur wherever there are many oil or sebaceous glands, mainly on the face, chest, and back. Acne is commonly referred to in slang as zits.
