More Illnesses in Salmonella Outbreak Tied to Eggs

The number of people who have become ill in a salmonella outbreak linked with Rose Acre Farms eggs now totals 35 in nine states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.
Since its last update on April 19, 12 more illnesses have been reported, the CDC
said.
Illnesses began between Nov. 16, 2017 and April 14, 2018. The outbreak has resulted in 11 hospitalizations. No deaths have been reported.
On April 13, Rose Acre Farms recalled over 206 million eggs that were sold in many states under different brand names. For full information, go to the FDA's Recalls website.

Consumers, restaurants and retailers should not eat, serve, or sell recalled eggs produced by Rose Acre Farms' Hyde County farm. Throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund, the CDC said.
It also recommended washing and sanitizing refrigerator shelves or drawers where the recalled eggs were stored.
All eggs need to be handled and cooked safely to prevent illness. Eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and white are firm, and scrambled eggs should not be runny, the CDC said.
Salmonella can cause illness 12 to 72 hours after being ingested. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Most people recover within a week, but some cases can last longer and be more severe.

How To Maintain Your Mental Health

In recent years people have realized the importance of proper diet and exercise, and recent surveys show that over the last 20 years people are eating better and working out more often, resulting in people living longer, but people are still lacking in their understanding that their mental well being is just as important as their physical health. Today most people get on average 4 to 6 hours of exercise every day, and make sure that everything they put in their mouths is not filled with sugars or preservatives, but they pay no attention to their mental health, no vacations, not even the occasional long weekend, 60 hour weeks, taking work home with them and even working weekends. All of this for hopes of one day getting that big promotion. What good will it do you when your brain overloads and you have a breakdown in the office. In the end your physical health will suffer no matter how well you eat and how often you exercise. You will wind up with high blood pressure, stress and...

Products for Black Women May Disrupt Hormones

 Many black women use a plethora of  hair care  products that contain chemicals that can interfere with their hormones, researchers warn. They noted these chemicals could be a reason why black women have higher rates of certain  hormone -related health conditions than other women in the United States. For example, black women begin  puberty  at younger ages, and they have higher rates of hormone-linked problems such as preterm birth,  uterine fibroids  and  infertility  than other groups of women. Their rates of  breast cancer  and endometrial cancer are also on the rise, according to the scientists at Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Mass. "Chemicals in hair products, and beauty products in general, are mostly untested and largely unregulated," said study author Jessica Helm. "This study is a first step toward uncovering what harmful substances are in products frequently used by black women, so we can better und...
