What diseases can you get from the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While sunlight is essential for many biological processes and provides us with vitamin D, excessive or unprotected exposure to the sun can lead to certain health issues. Here are some diseases and conditions associated with sun exposure:

Sunburn: Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause sunburn, characterized by red, painful skin. Severe sunburns can lead to blistering and peeling.

Skin Cancer: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation is a major risk factor for the development of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Photodermatitis: Some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to sunlight, known as photodermatitis. It can manifest as redness, itching, and blisters.

Actinic Keratosis: This is a precancerous skin condition caused by sun damage. It appears as rough, scaly patches on the skin.

Cataracts: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is associated with an increased risk of developing cataracts, a clouding of the eye's lens that can impair vision.

Eye Damage: UV radiation can also cause damage to the delicate tissues of the eyes, leading to conditions such as photokeratitis (similar to sunburn of the cornea) and other eye disorders.

Immune Suppression: Prolonged sun exposure may suppress the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses.

Heat-Related Illnesses: Excessive heat from the sun can lead to heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heatstroke, especially during hot weather or prolonged physical activity.

It's important to note that moderate sun exposure is generally beneficial for health, as it promotes vitamin D synthesis, which is crucial for bone health and immune function. However, it's essential to practice sun safety:

Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF before going outdoors, and reapply as needed.

Protective Clothing: Wear hats, sunglasses, and clothing that provide sun protection.

Avoid Peak Sun Hours: Limit outdoor activities during the peak hours of sunlight (usually 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Seek Shade: When outdoors, seek shade, especially during the sun's strongest hours.

What are Characteristics of Audio Visual Aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Characteristics of audio visual aids are the different qualities or features that make them helpful in teaching and learning. Audio visual aids refer to tools or materials that combine both sight and sound to present information.

These aids can be things like videos, PowerPoint presentations, diagrams, charts, or pictures that include sound or narration. They are used to make learning more interesting and easier to understand.

The characteristics of audio visual aids include:

  1. Visual representation: They provide visual images that help students see and understand information better. For example, a video showing how a volcano erupts makes it easier to visualize the process.

  2. Auditory reinforcement: Audio visual aids include sound or narration that helps reinforce the information being presented. For instance, a PowerPoint presentation with an audio explanation can help students remember the content more effectively.

  3. Engaging and interactive: They make the learning experience more engaging and interactive, capturing students' attention and encouraging active participation. For instance, a class discussion prompted by a visual aid encourages students to share their thoughts and ask questions.

Overall, audio visual aids are great tools because they make learning more enjoyable, enhance understanding, and promote active participation in the learning process.

Was Lisa Left Eye Lopez HIV positive when she died?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no way to know for sure if Left Eye Lopez was HIV positive at the time of her death. There was speculation and rumor when TLC first came out in 1991, because she wore the condom over her Left Eye, and later because of her work with HIV / Safe Sex organizations and charities, along with the reference to HIV/AIDS the video for TLC song Waterfalls which Left Eye Lopez herself wrote. Additional speculation and rumor occurred after her death by car accident in Honduras. This was due primarily because the doctor she went to Central America to visit Dr. Sebi is known for his unsubstantiated claims that he has the 'cure' for AIDS. In addition, the sheer fact that AIDS is the number one killer African-Americans ages 19 to 44 in the United States, in and of itself may cause speculation, and fuel curiosity. If she would have lived she would be 40 years old and within this age group, as many of her contemporaries within the black community are. AIDS is a very real, and *very deadly epidemic.

*Please, it does not have to be! In her honor, go beyond curiosity, get tested be safe.

Can HIV virus be destroyed by mosquitoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wailliam

I think there must be some relations between mosquitoes and HIV virus because this virus cannot survive in the body of mosquitoes.There may be something that destroyed the virus in the mosquito's body.I think we should do research on the internal and external structure of the mosquito and its physiology.

Can monkeys give you aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. AIDS is a diagnosis given to people who are HIV+. AIDS is not a disease or infection, rather a condition that results after a person is infected with HIV.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has linked HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) to a similar infection among monkeys, SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus.)

The virus was most likely able to infect humans after they came in contact with raw blood/meat from infected simians because of hunting and eating practices.

Why AIDS is not transmitted through mosquitoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mosquitoes are immune from contracting HIV, it is a disease only humans can catch. When a mosquito bites a person they inject their own saliva (which most people are allergic to - causing an itchy mosquito bite) into their prey's bloodline. But their saliva does not carry HIV.

Can you get aids if a mosquito bites someone with it and then bites you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes u can froma transmittion one one to another .

Another Answer

No. AIDS is not spread by mosquitoes. In Africa where many people have AIDS and many people are bitten by mosquitoes, a gap exists between 5 year olds and 15 year olds. That group does not get AIDS. That group does get malaria. That group is generally sexually inactive.

On the other hand, it would be possible to end AIDS transmission in a few years: circumcise all males, put in a needle swap, have gay men use condoms, use the newly developed inexpensive test to screen at risk population for AIDS, and make drugs available for those with AIDS.

Can you get aids from a cat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. FIV and HIV are truly like apples and oranges. While both are fruits, they can only grow on a specific tree.

I had an FIV positive cat for 6 years until his immune system could no longer keep up. There is no danger of infection to you; however it is imperative that you keep the cat isolated from other cats at all times, which usually means keeping them indoors. He/she will be highly susceptable to infection, and will require extra cleaning care. Otherwise they are just as wonderful and safe to keep as any other cat.

Can a mosquito transmit the aids virus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is one of the popular question! Mosquitoes do not transmit the HIV or AIDS virus. The virus gets inactivated in very short time in the body of the mosquito. Secondly the blood sucked by the mosquito goes in the stomach of the mosquito and it does not vomit the same in the body of next victim.

How do you know you have aids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Only way to find out for certain is to undergo two blood tests, testing for the virus and concentration of certain white blood cells. The same test has to be done six months apart, as the first testing period may fall under the incubation period, where the HIV virus cannot be detected.

Can you get aids from a hedgehog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, probably not. But if you already have AIDS, some of the infections transmitted by hedgehogs can further weaken your immune system. And even if you are healthy, owning an exotic pet can have a number of risks. You can get numerous diseases from these animals, and some of the diseases can be very serious in humans. Hedgehogs can transmit both bacterial and microbial infections. They are especially known for giving humans Salmonella, as well as giving them some fungal and viral diseases.
