The H5N1 flu is what is commonly meant when talking of "bird flu" or "avian influenza".

It is a viral disease that causes illness in many species including humans and is a pandemic threat.

Due to the high lethality and virulence of HPAI A(H5N1), its endemic presence, its increasingly large host reservoir, and its significant ongoing mutations, the H5N1 virus is the world's largest current pandemic threat, and billions of dollars are being spent researching H5N1 and preparing for a potential influenza pandemic.

At least 12 companies and 17 governments are developing pre-pandemic influenza vaccines in 28 different clinical trials that, if successful, could turn a deadly pandemic infection into a nondeadly one.

Full-scale production of a vaccine that could prevent any illness at all from the strain would require at least three months after the virus's emergence to begin, but it is hoped that vaccine production could increase until one billion doses were produced by one year after the initial identification of the virus..

It's A Wonderful Perfume


Back when I was in Philippines every time my husband come to see me he always bring me a gifts and one of those gifts is Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria Secret . I really love this perfume and body lotion. Great smell and it last longer. I bet you would like this perfume as long you like floral smell. It's pretty pricey though but you won't be disappointed. The reason i really like this product is because it is not over powering unlike the other. I have purchased this a few times in the past and always love it.

Wearing perfume is nice because it will makes you feel young, pretty and good about your self. I'm sure you don't want to go outside stinking ha ha ha....It's always nice to be smell good and get compliments about my scents.

Usually there's only a few brand that I really like because some of it is really strong that it gives me upset stomach, headache and make me feel dizzy. I really hate those people who have a heavy perfume. We need to choose the right perfume because we're putting chemicals on our skin and breathing them all day long. If the perfume that your using is not good then it can't be
helpful for you health. And also make sure that you don't have any allergy reactions due some oil and fragrance.

Mexican food is the best



You Are Mexican Food




Spicy yet dependable.

You pull punches, but people still love you.



I like Mexican foods as long as it's hot and spicy and I love chips and salsa more than anything else haha...I also like the enchiladas, tacos and more... I used to hate This foods when i first got here but now Mexican foods is one my favorite. I just like the rich flavors in Mexican food I think it's a little less fattening. But watch out if you pregnant because eating high in fat is might be harmful to your body and the baby. Maybe that's why some people said that Mexican food is not good for pregnant women. I think there's only one thing we need to worry about Mexican food are the FATS and the cuisine and not really healthy. But still I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD and nothing can change that ha ha...

How can I get rid of my man-boobs?

How can I get rid of my man-boobs?

I'm 18 years old, 6'2 and around 165 pounds. I've been playing sports all my life and have a lean build. I exercise daily and hit the gym occasionally.
Despite all my best efforts I have had enlarged nipples/man-boobs since 8th grade and they play a large part in my daily life and self-image.
I honestly think I would enjoy life 200% more if I didn't have this problem...

Losing weight questions?

I do running, yoga, and strength exercises. My question is, what other things can I do to stay active? And I noticed the weight just being dropped in my stomach will my flabby arms eventually be tightened too with strength exercises? I'm going to try to get to 120 lbs or maybe 115 depending on how much I grow.

Is being underweight ALWAYS unhealthy?

Is being underweight ALWAYS unhealthy?

I have a younger friend who is 13, almost 14 years old. She's 4'11" and 75-80 pounds. Which makes her BMI between 15.1-16.2. A "healthy" BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. I just don't see how she could be considered unhealthy though. Yes, she is very skinny. But she doesn't look sickly at all! She takes dance classes 5 days a week, they do serious muscle building exercises. She has noticeable abs, calf muscles, and tiny biceps. Her whole family is skinny like this. She CAN NOT gain weight. After going to the doctor for a physical and being told she was underweight she ate chocolate ice cream and/or cookies every night before bed in an effort to gain weight. After months of not gaining a pound she stopped because she said it felt unhealthy to be eating that every night.

If she's living a healthy lifestyle (eating right and exercising), and is naturally this thin, does it STILL make her "unhealthy"?
