Harold Sosa+FollowC-Section & Mental Health: It’s in the Genes?Turns out, the link between being born via planned c-section and developing mental health issues like schizophrenia or depression might not be about the surgery at all—it could be genetics! A new study found that people born by planned c-section had higher genetic risk for these conditions, suggesting it’s more about what’s in your DNA than how you were delivered. So, maybe let’s stop blaming the birth method and look at the bigger genetic picture! #Health #MentalHealth #Genetics00Share

Chris Lyons+FollowCDC’s Screwworm Alert: Flesh-Eating Parasite Near US!The CDC just put doctors on high alert for the New World screwworm—a flesh-eating parasite now creeping up to the Texas border from Mexico.

If you’ve been to Mexico or Central America and have a weird wound, get checked ASAP. This thing can be deadly if ignored! #Health #BodyHealth #CDCAlert00Share

Experts say rice, chicken, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, seafood, cooking oils, and even baby food can turn sketchy or lose nutrients after a spin in the microwave—especially if they weren’t stored right. Bacteria love the “danger zone” temps, and sometimes reheating doesn’t kill the toxins. When in doubt, eat it cold or make it fresh! #Health #BodyHealth #FoodSafety00Share

herreradennis+FollowADHD Diagnosis Limbo Is Out of ControlGetting an ADHD diagnosis in the UK is a total maze. If you go private, the NHS might not accept it.

It’s a mess—patients are stuck, GPs are confused, and families are left hanging. Something’s gotta give! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD00Share
