"The newest evangelists of the Make America Healthy Again lifestyle aren’t muscled bros crushing reps or wellness moms posting about vaccine schedules — they’re high-school- and college-aged young women...For many of them, the path to MAHA followed a similar trajectory: chronic health problems, disappointing encounters with the medical establishment and a search for more satisfying answers."

About 100 toxic Superfund sites vulnerable to flooding, storms, wildfires
About 100 of the nation’s most contaminated toxic waste sites are in areas prone to flooding and wildfires, a potential public health threat to millions of Americans. The EPA’s Office of Inspector General last week reported on weather-related vulnerabilities of 157 Superfund sites prioritized for cleanup because they threaten public health and the environment. About 13 million people live within 3 miles of such a site. The studies found 49 Superfund sites in coastal areas are at risk from sea-level rise or storm surge from hurricanes, with many near highly populated areas and important ecological sites like Chesapeake Bay. Another 47 are in low-lying areas prone to inland flooding, and 31 are in areas at high risk for wildfires.

🦊🐛 In the forests of #Madagascar, #lemurs have learned to use #millipedes as a specialized form of #medicine.
By gently biting the #insects, the #primates trigger the release of defensive #chemicals that act as a potent repellent against #malaria-carrying #mosquitoes. The lemurs rub the secretions into their fur and even ingest small amounts to treat internal parasites. The toxins cause a brief, trancelike state.
