Cold and Flu

* The disease spreads from person to person through the air by droplets from the nose and mouth of a person who has the disease germs. * People can spread the disease before they show signs of being ill. * When you touch things that have been contaminated by droplets containing Influenza virus (e.g. telephones, towels, tissues, shaking hands), your hand can then carry the virus to your nose, mouth or eyes, where it enters your body. * Only a small amount of contact is needed to spread the infection.

It could be a bad head gasket. Coolant gets in the combustion chambers and makes it hard to light the mixture. Check for exhaust smells in the coolant reservoir or gurgling in there. If you have either or white smoke out the tail pipe, you've probably got a bad gasket. The oil will not get contaminated with coolant. Don't be fooled. Repairs are very expensive.

I just had that problom,i found that i had not locked in the bottom two tabs of the air filter box,you need a flash light to see the bottom.With the air filter box not sealed the mass air flow sensor won't work properly,I waited about two days for the computer to reset the air intake and problam solved.

Antibiotics act by damaging bacteria through inhibiting their ability to function such as blocking their ability to grow, make genetic material to reproduce with, or make enzymes necessary for their lives.

First it depends on the area infected by the bacteria.

Once that is settled apply antibiotics on the infected area and patience is key so wait a while and you should feel better soon hope i could help.

Each antibiotic, on a general sense, act on a different manner, but essentially by inhibiting some biological function of a determined bacteria that the antibiotic is fighting against.

Hopefully, you want to know how to do such a seemingly foolish thing for inclusion in a mystery novel that you are writing, but probably the most sure way would be to find a person who is about one day into feeling symptoms of the cold or flu and infect yourself by contact with them. Perhaps the most effective method of contact would be to take a swab from their nasal passages and immediately swab it inside your nose. If you were on a tight time table, you probably would repeat that several times a day for two days to be sure their mucus containing the virus has made contact with your mucous tissue.

For those who want to avoid getting the flu or a cold, see the related questions below for information about how it is spread and how it is prevented.

Its so easy to develop and nearly everyone will experience it at one point, rather like a cold. It is also hard to shake and will affect you whether you like it or not, but the main reason is because of how common it really is but no one really notices.

Aromatherapy can help treat simple ailments such as headache, insect bites, skin disorders, sunburn, cough, and cold symptoms. Aromatherapy can also treat arthritis, anorexia, depression, muscle pain, and stiffness, PMS, IBS, sinusitis, kidney, and liver problems as well. The benefits of aromatherapy lie in the essential oils used and the method of application for each oil. Many times, the best use of oils is a topical application such as massage, hot or cold compress, or soak. Pure Essential oils can also be used in skin care products, body spray or relaxing or sensual baths. In addition, essential oils can be absorbed through the nose, by inhalation of the vapors directly from the bottle, through an aromatherapy diffuser, room spray, dissipation by a light bulb ring, or humidifier.

People are sensitive for various reasons, such as past experiences, personal insecurities, and emotional vulnerability. Each individual processes emotions differently, so what may seem minor to one person could be significant to another. Factors like upbringing, culture, and genetics also play a role in shaping a person's sensitivity levels.

Body temperature is an individual thing. The average body temp for people is 98.6 degrees, but that is only the average. Some people's body temp is 97 degrees and would be feverish at 98.6. The human metabolism will increase and decrease in speed depending on many different things. Could be almost anything, different medications will speed up or slow down metabolism which us humans being endothermic usually maintain a constant temperature usually between 96.4-98.8. 97.4-98.6 being an average for a healthy human all year around (I am attempting to give you a broader range with the #-#). Once you start to hit 99.6, you are considered running a fever for any number of reasons, usually illness or in some cases heat stroke (but heat strokes tend to make you quite a bit hotter, we are talking about your body cooking itself). Temperature might be constantly maintained in endothermic animals by means of using ones own chemical process to keep within temperature parameters for life to function, but still varies of course. Fatigue or simply the sleep response will decrease body temperature, ever have a rough day at work and your muscles hurt so you just want to lay down then sleep? That's because it is the body's way of repairing itself, the sleep response is triggered by a number of things which in turn decreases your body temperature to help settle down for rest. That is only one possible reason which happens quite often for anyone at anytime during the day. Another main possibility is body mass and muscle to fat ratio, the more fat you have on you the warmer you will be, seeing it is extra fuel to be burned and also acts as personal insulation. The bigger you are, the more energy it requires to run you, the more raw material converted into energy in which more heat is produced. Also, the more active you are and the more you challenge your body to do some work and burn that fuel you have stocked up the more heat you will naturally produce as a by-product of simple processes like air to carbon dioxide and fat to carbs/calories to energy (vice versa too[only for the "fat to carbs/calories to energy" though]). Could be something as simple as the temperature that you are relatively used to being in. Someone from Florida that is used to 75-100 degrees in the Autumn goes up to Ohio and complains about it being cold, where as the Ohioan says its nice n warm or slightly nippy at 50-70 degrees. It is estimated that 76 degrees (no wind) is the average comfort level for most Humans(assuming you are not wearing clothing). I cant say that Gender plays an extremely significant role in determining who diffuses body heat at a faster rate. If i had to guess i would say the guy would retain heat better than a woman of the same age and height with average build seeing men tend to be a bit more dense and have a larger torso to retain most of their heat where most metabolism takes place. This is a very very broad question to be answered by us telling you alone. There are about a million different variables can that contribute to body temperature and perception(personal tolerance if you will) of warm and cold. The main influences (I hope iIgot some of the major ones) are the ones I mentioned above that adjust the temperature of a endothermic animal on a larger and more frequent scale than others. At all times your body receives information from sensory input and adjusts you to compensate for the variances in the immediate environment(this should be the biggest one). Example being when in a cold environment your body involuntarily shivers as a precaution to keep you active and warm. Keep in mind that there is alot about the human that we do not understand yet, there are a ton of mechanisms from our ancestors that have been built into us from many years of experiencing the same thing over and over. The unknown could be a reason that influences temperature, I do not know, just throwing out of the box answers as a possible cause. It would be best if you would go to a search engine and look this up, its your best bet on finding a complete explanation to such a large and uncertain question. Sorry for the run on sentences, my English is getting a bit rusty. Someone fix anything in this post soon as they see it and dont like it.

The Spanish flu of 1918 affected people of all ages, but disproportionately impacted young adults aged 20-40. Those with weaker immune systems, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with preexisting health conditions, were also particularly vulnerable. Additionally, overcrowded living conditions and the movement of troops during World War I contributed to the rapid spread of the virus.

Muslim people are disproportionately accused of terrorist attacks due to biases and stereotypes, even though the majority of Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding. It is important to recognize that terrorism has no religion and individuals should not be profiled based on their faith. Counterterrorism efforts should focus on individuals' actions rather than their religious or ethnic background.

As of February 5, 2010 there have been a cumulative total of 98 deaths from H1N1/09 in Illinois according to the Illinois state health department statistics.

Since the daily and weekly counts of cases and deaths from the swine flu, which were initially required by the CDC, WHO, and national health departments of most nations have stopped since the pandemic was declared over, there is no way to know how many now. One reason is there are still ongoing cases scattered around the world even as of fall 2012. Another reason is that it was a burden on the reporting entities to try to track and report the numbers. And a large portion of people who had swine flu had mild forms and did not go to the doctor. Their cases could not be counted. And, if no lab test were done to confirm the specific type of flu, there is no way to know for sure if each case should be included in the count or if it is another type of flu.

The treatment is the same as for other types of flu, so there is no real medical need for testing to determine what form of flu someone has in most cases. For this reason, there is no definite count possible on cases of this type of flu any more.

The actual number of people who died of the common cold is probably close to zero. The people that die of influenza thinking that they had a bad cold was somewhere around 3,000 to 4,000 in USA in 2012

The continent with the most recorded cases of confirmed Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09) continues to the North American continent as of August 24, 2009. The countries in the North American continent that are driving that statistic are the United States with 43852 confirmed cases, Mexico with 19712 confirmed cases, and Canada with 11976 laboratory cases.

It is rare among people and is not believed to spread from human to human except in a few isolated cases. Since 2003 to 2013 there have been only 360 confirmed deaths worldwide attributed to bird flu H5N1. A new strain found at Easter time 2013 in Shanghai, China was identified as the causative organism in the death of two men and critical illness of a woman, still under care in Chuzhou, China. So between the two known strains that are infective to humans there have been only 362 deaths. However, approximately 50 to 60 % of humans infected do succumb to the disease.

It has not been assigned to a Kingdom in the standard taxonomic classification system. Currently the taxonomy of viruses is less defined that of other and living organisms. Since viruses are really not living organisms, they do not have a Kingdom assigned.

Ordinarily (except for viruses) the hierarchy is:

Life

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

For viruses the hierarchy and classification usually begins at the Family level and continues down to the Serotype or subtype and strain, however, there are many different methods of classification with some more specific and some much less specific.

A-H1N1/09 Pandemic Influenza "Swine Flu of 2009" (an RNA virus genome)

Kingdom: Unassigned

Phylum: Unassigned

Class: Unassigned

Virus Groups (I - Vl): in some classification systems Influenza viruses fall in Group V, in other systems they are unassigned

Order: -virales or unassigned

Family: Viridae/Orthomyxoviridae

Genus: Influenzavirus A

Species: Influenza A virus

Serotype/Subtype: H1N1

Strain: A-H1N1/09-like virus

in the launch of the Ichimura Nature School in 2001. In a rural Tokyo suburb, young urban girls and boys practiced farming through a nine-month cycle from sowing to harvest. Each year requests exceeded available slots.

No, A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like virus is the scientific name. It is more commonly called A-H1N1/09. See the related question below for more detail on the many names world wide for this influenza.

Yes, "flu" should be capitalized in an essay as it is the shortened form of influenza, which is the proper noun referring to the virus.

Viruses are classified differently than living organisms, since they are not technically alive. In taxonomy, viruses are not assigned to a Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, or Order. The influenza viruses start, in most classification systems, at the level of the Family. They are in the Family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are a few newer classification systems that have been developed to better categorize and classify viruses, but these are not yet the standard.

The maximum antibody level after a flu vaccination varies among individuals. Generally, it peaks within a few weeks of vaccination and then gradually decreases over time. It is essential to get vaccinated annually to ensure adequate protection against seasonal flu strains.

It depends on where you live and what the sanitary conditions are around you. The "Hookworm" larvae is found in the feces if infected individuals and if skin contact is made, then infection is possible. In most developed countries, sence the development of modern plumbing, the possibility of encountering this is quite remote and thusly, the hookworm has been eradicated in these ares'a. Also if you live in a climate where the winters are below freezing for extended periods of time, this infection is rare because of the larvae's inability to survive these conditions.

Yes, but it usually only kills very young people, elderly people, and immunocompromised people. About 200 people per year (mostly elderly) die from norovirus in the United States. When you consider that about 23 million people are infected with norovirus in the U.S. each year, 200 deaths is not a whole lot. As long as people get adequate medical care (replacing fluids and maintaining electrolyte balances), the chances of dying from norovirus are extremely low.
