Microbes share indoor environments as our unseen roommates of seen world. Over 1000% of the time we expose ourselves to these entities. Many times, these animate creatures go unnoticed; however, on occasion they are adversely affecting our health.
Some common and frequently reported microbes of the indoor environment include, but are not limited to, viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, mold (fungi), yeast, protozoa, etc. It is difficult to predict the types and quantities of microbes sharing closed environments with humans and other animals, although numbers of microbes thrive in our surroundings, including both unicellular and multi-cellular microorganisms.
Studies have shown that growth of these microorganisms is often supported by moisture, darkness, availability of food sources and a favorable temperature ranging from 72º - 80ºF.
#HEALTH + #HEARING: A survey of mostly middle-aged adults reveals that among people aged 45 to 54, one in nine shows signs of hearing impairment. Here's what to know if you aren't hearing what you used to be hearing. if you are of a certain age!

× Researchers at the French Society of Neuroradiology (SFNR) have found significant abnormalities in the eyes of some people struggling with Covid-19 severity.
The brain MRI scans carried out by the researchers noted potentially severe ophthalmological manifestations of Covid-19. The researchers further supported the need for eye screening in these patients to provide appropriate treatment
Earlier studies have shown that some Covid-19 symptoms can be linked to eye infections such as conjunctivitis and retinopathy.
Findings
The findings of the study revealed that of the 129 patients, nine (7 per cent) had abnormal MRI findings of the eyeball. The MRI scans showed one or more nodules in the back part of the eyeball. Eight of the nine patients had spent time in the intensive care unit for Covid-19.
Youâd be hard pressed to bump into anyone these days who doesnât have something to say about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Ask instead what they know about treatments for the coronavirus, and the conversation would be less robust. Some might recall hearing about an experimental cocktail that President Donald Trump got back in October that included Regeneronâs monoclonal antibody.
But too few know that it s been authorized for use, that Carilion Clinic has monoclonal antibodies, and that if given within the first days of an infection, it keeps the disease from progressing in people most at risk for entering the hospital and dying.

A humble chicken coop in Hay in southern NSW is playing a key role in an early warning system for a rare but deadly virus.
Key points:
Flocks of sentinel chickens are used to see if Murray Valley encephalitis is present in the mosquito population.
The chickens are looked after by volunteers
