Flu super-bug K variant hits Cincinnati hard

Cincinnati is seeing a surge in flu cases thanks to the highly contagious K variant, which doctors say can cause more severe illness than usual—think pneumonia or even brain inflammation. Even though this year’s flu shot isn’t a perfect match, it’s still your best shot at staying out of the hospital. Pharmacies like Kroger are making it easy to get vaccinated, no appointment needed. Experts also recommend spending time outdoors to lower your risk and keeping antivirals like Tamiflu handy just in case. How are you keeping your family healthy this season? #Health #BodyHealth #Cincinnati

Chardon man keeps his leg thanks to new procedure

Losing a leg used to be the only option for people with severe circulation problems in their feet, but that’s changing fast.

Stories like his are a reminder: if something feels off, don’t ignore it—early action can make all the difference. What would you do in his shoes? #Health #BodyHealth #Chardon

Your Brain’s Secret: False Memories!

Ever been 100% sure you remember something, only to find out it never happened? Turns out, our brains are more like creative editors than video recorders—constantly rewriting the script. That’s why you might “remember” the Monopoly Man’s monocle (he never had one!) or a cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo (nope). Psychologists say these false memories aren’t glitches—they’re your brain filling in gaps to help you make sense of the world. Wild, right? #Health #MentalHealth #FalseMemory

Shocking child starvation case rocks Nebraska

A 12-year-old Lincoln boy was found weighing just 47 pounds and unable to speak after months of alleged starvation, according to court records. Hospital staff were alarmed by his condition—so weak he couldn’t walk or even lift himself up. The boy’s guardian claimed illness, but a family member stepped in, alleging he’d been isolated from therapy, school, and his biological family. Authorities have placed him in emergency custody and launched an investigation. This heartbreaking situation raises urgent questions about child welfare and the systems meant to protect vulnerable kids. How can our community do better to prevent tragedies like this? #Health #BodyHealth #Nebraska
