#intestines
Intestines are so under-rated!!! Like when you are eating something, you always thank your stomach. And when you are hungry, you only consider your stomach as hungry. It is the intestines who are laboriously work and digest your food and make sure you get your nutrients.Bless the intestines!
trick or treat?
Day 6: Dissection
This is no ordinary man being eaten by an ordinary snake (as if that could ever be ordinary). Here’s the low down on what you need to know about this “dangerous game” in the jungle:
• The dude is Paul Rosolie. He is a snake researcher and conservationist who has dedicated his career to studying snakes, particularly the giant green anaconda. This summer, he went into the Amazonian jungle to track down one of these creatures and be “eaten alive” – hence the title of the Discovery Channel special.
• The giant green anaconda is the world’s largest and most powerful snake, as well as the top predator in the Amazon. Anacondas can open their mouths to almost 180 degrees, with jaws attached by elastic ligaments, so it is actually possible for them to swallow a person; right after they crush their bones, of course.
• Paul found the snake. He tracked down a 20ft-long green anaconda, and then donned a suit of specially manufactured armor covered in pigs’ blood so that the snake would be attracted to him. He then crawled on all fours toward the snake, willing her to attack him so that he might journey through her intestines.
• He didn’t actually get eaten. Despite the title of the show, Paul only got part of his head into the snake’s mouth before feeling his arm break under the snake’s coil and shouting to his team to rescue him. So the world continues to not know what it’s like to travel through the inside of a giant green anaconda.
It’s probably better that way.
It seems that Ebola is all over the news lately, and it can be super scary. You don’t even know what it is, let alone how to get it and what it can do to you. That’s why we wanted to share what we know with you; that way, you can stay more informed and maybe a little less freaked out by the unknown.
What is Ebola? It’s an infectious disease that typically causes death. With it, people with the disease often have fevers and extreme internal bleeding.
How does Ebola spread? It can be transferred through contact with infected bodily fluids - blood, saliva, etc. - by a “filovirus” (the Ebola virus). It is not airborne. We do not know its host species yet.
What are the symptoms of Ebola? The symptoms include high fevers and bleeding, as we mentioned. However, they also include headaches, stomach pains, sore throats and lack of appetite.
How do you cure Ebola? Right now, there is no known cure. However, it is possible for victims to be treated and recover if they are offered intensive care.
However, the cases of Ebola in the United States are few and far between. If you are sure to keep clean by washing your hands and wiping counters down, you will typically be just fine. We recommend carrying around a personal container of hand sanitizer, if that helps you feel more at ease.
