Careful giving honey to infant

Taken from wiki

Health hazards

However, honey sometimes contains dormant endospores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can be dangerous to infants, as the endospores can transform into toxin-producing bacteria in the infant's immature intestinal tract, leading to illness and even death[4] (see Health hazards below).


Botulism

Because of the natural presence of botulinum endospores in honey,[82] children under one year of age should not be given honey. The more-developed digestive system of older children and adults generally destroys the spores. Infants, however, can contract botulism from honey.[83] Medical grade honey can be treated with gamma radiation to reduce the risk of botulinum spores being present.[84] Gamma radiation evidently does not affect honey's antibacterial activity, whether or not the particular honey's antibacterial activity is dependent upon peroxide generation.[85]

Infantile botulism shows geographical variation. In the UK, only six cases have been reported between 1976 and 2006,[86] yet the U.S. has much higher rates: 1.9 per 100,000 live births, 47.2% of which are in California.[87] While the risk honey poses to infant health is small, it is recommended not to take the risk[88]

Toxic honey

Main article: Bees and toxic chemicals#Toxic honey
Honey produced from flowers of oleanders, rhododendrons, mountain laurels, sheep laurel, and azaleas may cause honey intoxication. Symptoms include dizziness, weakness, excessive perspiration, nausea, and vomiting. Less commonly, low blood pressure, shock, heart rhythm irregularities, and convulsions may occur, with rare cases resulting in death. Honey intoxication is more likely when using "natural" unprocessed honey and honey from farmers who may have a small number of hives. Commercial processing, with pooling of honey from numerous sources, claims it dilutes any toxins but these findings are not verifiable.[89]

Natural remedy for Heartburn

Avoid heartburn triggers.

Keeping a food diary may help you identify problem foods. Foods and drinks that commonly trigger heartburn include:

Citrus fruits
Chocolate
Peppermint
Spearmint
Tomatoes
Raw onions
Garlic
Black pepper
Vinegar
Fatty foods
Spicy foods

Citrus juice

Some natural remedy suggested.

Pineapple contains bromelain, which is an enzyme that helps control levels of hydrochloric acid in your stomach.

See my cat???

I don't think you will pick up this cat and call the owner. So scary

The Glowing Firefly Squid.

The Glowing Firefly Squid. Found in Tayoma, Japan.

The Firefly Squid, whose scientific name is the Watasenia Scintillans, is three inches long on average and is considered to be a cephalopod. Its body is covered in photophores, and this is what allows it to glow a light blue and communicate with other members of its species.

Why is it called the Firefly Squid? Well, the answer lies in the fact that the photophores in these marine animals are actually very similar to those found in fireflies. The light is produced by a complicated chemical reaction, which qualifies it as bioluminescence.

The Firefly Squid can even control these lights to scare off other predators, gather more squids, or lure in prey!

The breeding season of the firefly squid runs from March to May. During this time, a massive gathering of this squid can be seen in Toyama Bay in Japan. They gather here by the millions, even billions, to lay their eggs. The adult squid begin to die once the eggs have been released into the water and fertilized.
