A new study shows extreme weather, ocean changes, and land disruption have already helped spread more than 200 pathogens. That's an extreme case of climate change creating new contact between humans and infectious diseases, but the phenomenon is widespread. Extreme heat waves, for example, can kill off many infectious viruses, bacteria, fungi, and the creatures that spread them. Whatever survives, however, is adapted to extreme heat — including the fever our bodies produce to kill off pathogens.

Parlamentarii din partidul principal de opoziție din Taiwan, Kuomintang (KMT), au aruncat vineri cu găleți de intestine de porc către premierul Su Tseng-chang, pentru a-l împiedica să ia întrebări în Parlament. Dezbaterile au degenerat, iar unii parlamentari chiar s-au luat la bătaie. Partidul de guvernământ neagă acuzația și a cerut revenirea la o dezbatere rațională. Liderii puterii au condamnat protestul „dezgustător”, numindu-l o risipă de alimente, scrie digi24.ro. Washingtonul a salutat decizia din august a președintelui taiwanez Tsai Ing-wen de a relaxa importurile de carne de porc din SUA începând cu 1 ianuarie.

A Perrigo representative said it no longer manufactured gummy vitamins, and it did not respond to further inquiries.) But the doctor had something to admit: He takes a gummy vitamin every day.
