Tick risks vary by region. Here's where diseases have spread and how to stay safe
There are early signs that it could be a bad year for tick bites. In May, the rate of people seeking emergency care for tick bites was the highest it's been since 2019, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you get a tick bite, you're not alone: They happen in every U.S. state, and some 31 million people get tick bites each year. Not every tick bite yields disease, since not every tick carries pathogens or bites long enough to transmit them. Still, most reported cases of vector-borne disease (including mosquitoes) come from ticks, which can carry pathogens with terrible consequences.

Why are DIET TRENDS generally STUPID?
Let’s be honest - we all tried or at least heard about different diet trends. Obviously, we usually get information about them from the Internet which is not always a reliable source of knowledge.

Vitamin C Doesn’t Just Brighten Your Skin — It Rewrites Its DNA, Says New Study"
The skin is our first protective barrier. With time, the outer layer, the epidermis, thins out. It loses its ability to block external harm. Keratinocytes form most of this layer, moving upward to create the skin’s shield. Vitamin C (VC), widely known for its antioxidant power, has also been studied many times in the past for its ability to repair skin. New research adds a deeper genetic angle to its importance.

According to a recent study, vitamin C significantly reduces skin ageing at the cellular and genetic level.
Our skin serves as our initial line of defence. The epidermis, the outermost layer, thins over time. It is no longer able to prevent external damage. The majority of this layer is made up of keratinocytes, which migrate upward to form the skin's barrier.
