Electrical energy travels through wires and supplies our homes and businesses with the power necessary to accomplish daily tasks. When the electricity passes through transformers or appliances, it creates an Electromagnetic Field (EMF) and high levels of exposure to this radiation may result in EMF poisoning.
Acetaminophen is a very commonly used medicine. It's a staple in most households because it treats aches and pains, fever and headache. But, it can be dangerous if taken incorrectly or in conjunction with alcohol.
Dioxins are a family of more than 70 compounds that are byproducts of incineration and other industrial processes. They are fat-soluble and break down slowly so they tend to accumulate in animal tissue. Dioxins are then ingested by humans through animal fats or animal fat byproducts. They may be found in small amounts in anyone living in an industrialized country. The following steps will show how to diagnose dioxin poisoning.
The Listeria (Listeria monocytogenes) bacteria are found in soil and water and contaminates various food products. Refrigeration does not kill the Listeria bacteria. Eat only cooked meats, washed vegetables and pasteurized milk and pasteurized milk products. Pregnant women, babies, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are high risk candidates for Listeriosis. Learn more about Listeria if you are in this high risk group.
The most common food-borne bacterial organism in the United States is Campylobacter jejuni, not Salmonella, as many people think. It's in the stomachs of healthy cattle, chickens, pigs and turkeys, so direct contact with these animals can bring it on. Though it is not usually fatal, there have been deaths from Campylobacter poisoning. Follow these steps to stay alert to this common bacterial infection.
