"Hantavirus

    

Hantavirus is a life-threatening viral infection spread to humans by rodents.

Causes

Hantavirus is carried by rodents, particularly deer mice. The virus is found in their urine and feces, but it does not make the animal sick.

It is believed that humans can get sick with this virus if they breathe in contaminated dust from mice nests or droppings. You may come in contact with such dust when cleaning homes, sheds, or other enclosed areas that have been empty for a long time."

Symptoms.Hantavirus symptoms

Hantavirus symptoms initially mimic the flu, including fever, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, and gastrointestinal problems like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Later, respiratory distress, coughing, and shortness of breath can develop, potentially leading to life-threatening complications like lung failure and kidney damage. 

Here's a more detailed look at the symptoms:

Early Symptoms (within 1-8 weeks of exposure):

• Flu-like symptoms: Fever (often >101°F), chills, fatigue, and muscle aches, especially in the thighs, hips, back, and shoulders. 
• Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. 
• Other symptoms: Headache, dizziness, and sometimes a dry cough. 

Late Symptoms (4-10 days after initial symptoms):

• Respiratory distress: Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and coughing. 
• Fluid build-up in the lungs: This can lead to chest tightness and worsening breathing. 
• Other potential complications: Kidney failure, low blood pressure, and in some cases, organ failure.

What is turmeric?

Turmeric is a bright yellow spice that is derived from the underground stems, or rhizomes, of the Curcuma longa plant. The plant is part of the ginger family and is grown in warm climates around the world.

Turmeric has long been used for its potential health benefits as well as to enhance flavor in culinary dishes. It can be used in various forms, including ground spice and fresh root, and can also be taken as a dietary supplement.

What is curcumin?

Curcumin is the biologically active compound in turmeric. Turmeric's potential health benefits are primarily due to curcumin.

Turmeric's health benefits

Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to treat conditions such as skin disorders, respiratory problems, joint pain relief, and digestive disorders. More recently, turmeric has become a popular dietary supplement promoted to benefit a variety of conditions including arthritis, digestive disorders, depression, and allergies, among others.

Gingerol, a natural component of ginger root, benefits gastrointestinal motility ― the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process. Eating ginger encourages efficient digestion, so food doesn’t linger as long in the gut.

 Antimicrobial: included Rice

Heart Health: Plums contain potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, which contribute to maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. They may also help reduce the risk of heart disease. 

Bone Health: Plums are a good source of vitamin K, which is essential for bone health. They also contain magnesium and calcium, which support bone density and strength. 

Digestive Health: Plums are high in fiber, which promotes regular bowel movements and improves digestion. They also contain sorbitol, a natural laxative.
