Contagion Elephantiasis

 
Elephantiasis is a condition where parts of the body, commonly the legs or arms, swell up due to collection of fluid in the tissues. There are several conditions that can cause extreme swelling of the limbs. However, this term is usually used to denote swelling in the limbs due blockage of the lymphatic system caused by infection with the filarial parasite. Filariasis is a worm infestation that is spread by mosquitoes. The larvae are injected by the mosquito bit after which they grow and multiply. This can block lymphatic vessels causing swelling in the limbs. Treatment is available for filariasis which will eradicate the infection. Treatment for the swelling, however, is more difficult.

What happens after swallowing bubble gum?

Usually, some, but not all of the bubble gum will get digested and pass through your body in about a week or so (most foods only take 2 to 3 days). So, if you swallow bubblegum by accident once in a while, you don't need to get worried, but you certainly should not make a habit of it. Because gum digests so slowly, swallowing too may end up blocking intestines, especially in small children.

Is coffee allowed to be given to children?

Coffee contains large amounts of caffeine which affects children more than adults. Children will end up jittery, anxious, and unable to sleep from small amounts of coffee, unlike adults who won't have the same symptoms unless they drink a large amount. Caffeine is also addictive, and it's not clear how large amounts of caffeine will affect a developing brain - while small sips of coffee is certainly fine, it's best to stay from daily cups of coffee at least until the child is in their late teens.

Is it wise to do pregnancy test anytime of the day or in the morning?️

 
The urine pregnancy test can be done at any time of the day. However, early in pregnancy, the concentration of protein detected by the test may be low in the urine. In such cases it is a good idea to use the first morning sample to test for pregnancy. This is because the urine is most concentrated early in the morning, and therefore the concentration of the protein is higher. Samples collected during the day are more dilute as you drink water throughout the day.
