Measles
Measles transmission is not directly tied to weather conditions in the same way that diseases like influenza are linked to colder months. However, summer does introduce unique challenges.
A New Kind of British Summer
In cases of heat stroke, the body’s core temperature can rise above 40°C (104°F), leading to cellular breakdown, organ failure, and even death if not promptly treated.
Heat Rash
Heat rash happens when the body’s sweat glands become blocked, trapping sweat beneath the skin. This blockage leads to inflammation, resulting in small red bumps, clear blisters, or an intense prickling sensation
Dehydration
Staying hydrated is not just about avoiding danger; it’s part of living well. Proper hydration improves energy levels, supports brain function, aids digestion, and helps maintain healthy skin.
Sun Safety Tips
The sun is a powerful source of life, energy, and joy, but like many powerful things, it demands respect.
What is Norovirus?
Norovirus is distinguished by its exceptionally low infectious dose, requiring as few as 10 to 100 viral particles to induce illness. This high infectivity, combined with its diverse transmission pathways, accounts for the frequent occurrence of outbreaks in densely populated or confined settings.
Epilepsy
At its core, epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder marked by recurring seizures, the unpredictable bursts of electrical activity that temporarily alter how the brain functions.
Understanding Mental Health
Mental health is more than just a buzzword. It’s the foundation of how we live, connect, work, and thrive.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a largely preventable yet potentially serious disease. Education, vigilance, and regular dermatological checkups can lead to early detection and successful treatment.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a complex and challenging mental health condition, but one that is highly manageable with the right interventions.
