TODAY - "WORLD ZOONOSIS DAY "
# A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans. # Zoonotic pathogens may be bacterial, viral or parasitic, or may involve unconventional agents and can spread to humans through direct contact or through food, water or the environment. # Some diseases, such as HIV, begin as a zoonosis but later mutate into human-only strains. # Other zoonoses can cause recurring disease outbreaks, such as Ebola virus disease and salmonellosis. # Still others, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, have the potential to cause global pandemics. # Antimicrobial resistance is a complicating factor in the control and prevention of zoonoses# Zoonotic pathogens can spread to humans through any contact point with domestic, agricultural or wild animals. # Markets selling the meat or by-products of wild animals are particularly high risk due to the large number of new or undocumented pathogens known to exist in some wild animal populations.# Agricultural workers in areas with a high use of antibiotics for farm animals may be at increased risk of pathogens resistant to current antimicrobial drugs.
Does chocolate make you happy?
Bite into a piece of chocolate, close your eyes and savour the moment – happiness can be so easy to achieve! But why does chocolate actually make us happy? # Chocolate also has the capacity to affect our levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centers # Chocolate contains a key compound called tryamine, which is derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine is the amino acid precursor to dopamine # Cocoa contains tryptophan. The body uses it to produce the mood-elevating substance of serotonin – also known as the happiness hormone. # The sugar in the chocolate also plays a role in this. Because the insulin released in response to the sugar facilitates the journey of the tryptophan to the brain where it engenders happiness. # Chocolate in addition to stimulating caffeine and caffeine-like theobromine, it also contains phenylethylamine, a substance released by the body when new love blossoms. # Chocolate also releases oxytocin - the love hormone So with every bit of chocolate you nibble, you also get a touch of butterflies in the tummy :)
