#Beaches from Crystal River, Florida, to Ogunquit, Maine, have been under advisories warning about #WaterQuality this week because of elevated levels of #bacteria associated with #fecal #waste. The advisories typically discourage #beachgoers from going in the #water because the #bacteria can cause #gastrointestinal #illness, #rashes & #nausea.

Got a #latex #allergy? Be very careful weed-whacking #milkweed. Some of that white sap splattered on me and I got obnoxious itchy #rashes 3 days ago, and they're still there.

''Recalling a #boy of 4 or 5 years old with #mpox he met at the #hospital, Byake said:

“We saw #lesions and #rashes covering his body. The child was crying frequently and only wanted to be held by his mother. He had a fever and appeared very exhausted. His mother told us he hadn’t been eating, despite being offered his favourite foods, and was losing weight. His eyes were slightly red.''

The Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of #Ukraine has reported a significant outbreak of #MouseFever among Russian military units in the #Kupyansk direction of the front. The symptoms are severe and include intense #headaches, #HighFever up to 40 degrees Celsius, #rashes and redness, low blood pressure, #hemorrhages in the eyes, nausea, and vomiting.

“Symptoms of #LongCovid range from the profoundly disabling to 'merely' upsetting. Those with long #Covid frequently display a core set of symptoms, Altmann says, including #breathlessness, #fatigue, #wheeze, post-exertional #malaise and #BrainFog.

But about 200 other symptoms are also associated with the disease, and can come and go, including word-finding difficulties, #insomnia, skin #rashes and new #allergies.”

Prof Danny Altmann: the burden of long COVID

World leading immunologist Professor Danny Altmann has declared the future burden of long COVID to be "so large as to be unfathomable". He has published a scientific review of long COVID in Nature, asserting if 10% of acute infections lead to persistent symptoms, up to 400 million people could be in need of support for long COVID worldwide. While the Australian government has allocated $50m for long COVID research, in New Zealand there has been zero investment for bio-medical long COVID research to understand and treat the condition. Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Immunology and Inflammation at Imperial College London, Professor Altmann has been studying T cells for four decades, and is interested in why people suffer debilitating consequences so long after COVID infection.
