...that appetizing to everyone, but to dogs they're the cat's meow. Beware, though: the FDA is warning that pet chews, as they're known, may be contaminated with Salmonella infantis, a bacterium that won't harm man's best friend but can cause vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain in healthy humans--and be life threatening to those with compromised immune systems. What to do? After tossing a chew to Rover, wash your hands thoroughly--and have your kids do the same...
...best relief for neuropathic pain, associated with nerve problems. The newest and most successful has been gabapentin, which seems to relieve a wide range of nerve pain, including that often accompanying cancer and AIDS. Better yet, this class of drugs has a low level of side effects. Drowsiness, dizziness, nausea and unsteadiness, if they do occur, can usually be alleviated by adjusting the dosages of the drug, while more severe side effects, such as liver toxicity, blood disorders and disturbed vision, are relatively rare...
...accident at a fuel processing plant put 14 people in the hospital and forced mass evacuations. Officials said that a nuclear reaction may still be continuing inside the Tokaimura fuel processing plant, which was evacuated after workers saw blue flames rising above a batch of fuel and complained of nausea. Radiation levels 15,000 times higher than normal were reported around the plant, the site of Japan?s previous worst nuclear accident two years ago, when 35 workers were contaminated by an explosion. Local schools were ordered to keep their windows closed, and 300,000 people living in the vicinity...
...Without a doubt, the best production you'll see all year is the marketing magic of Artisan Entertainment, the small studio that suddenly isn't so small anymore. (I also think that Dramamine could have made a fortune by handing out samples at movie theatres to solve the rampant nausea.) But the movie itself was trifling --even though that wickedly clever little ending almost redeems the whole exercise (I like the word "exercise" to describe Blair Witch; it gives it that whole unpolished film-school-final-project kind of feel). The most important lesson of Blair Witch, of course...
...study the medical benefits of marijuana, you can?t just buy it off the street. You can?t prove anything about the drug without some standardization, which means utilizing pure research-grade samples." There is evidence, for example, that marijuana can help fight glaucoma and help stem the nausea associated with chemotherapy. The new HHS policy will loosen the rules enough to make top-grade marijuana available without hassles to study these and other possible benefits -- and to help ensure that those studies stay within the confines of the nation's top research labs...
