A North Georgia Gem Right in Our Backyard: Fred Talley's Guide to Burnt Mountain Preserve Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of Pickens County. If you've lived in or around Jasper for any length of time, you know we are blessed with some of the finest mountain air, friendliest folks, and prettiest scenery in the whole state of Georgia. Whenever folks ask me what I love most about living and working up here in the mountains, I tell ’em it's the fact that you can finish up a day's work and be standing on top of a mountain ridge taking in a million-dollar view ten minutes later. One of my absolute favorite hidden gems in our local community is the Burnt Mountain Preserve. Whether you’re looking to stretch your legs, take in the seasonal wildflowers, or just enjoy a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle, this 900-acre county-owned treasure is tough to beat. What Makes Burnt Mountain Preserve So Special? Located right off Route 136 heading east out of Jasper—just before you hit the main scenic overlook—Burnt Mountain Preserve sits at an elevation of roughly 2,500 feet. What a lot of folks don’t realize is that this land isn’t just pretty to look at—it plays a huge role in protecting our community. The preserve covers the headwaters of the Champion Creek valley and protects the Long Swamp Creek watershed, which helps safeguard the clean drinking water supply for the city of Jasper. As someone who spent years studying engineering before getting into public health and pest control, I appreciate good stewardship when I see it. Preserving this valley keeps our water clean and keeps the native wildlife thriving. Exploring the Trails: Something for Every Hiker Whether you're out for a breezy afternoon stroll or you want a workout that'll make your legs burn, the preserve has three main trails built and maintained by the Mountain Stewards: The Crest Trail (0.3 Miles – Orange Blazes): If you just want a light, easy loop to stretch your legs or get a quick breath of fresh mountain air, start here. It loops through the upper portion of the preserve and offers great winter vistas across the valley. The Preserve Trail (1.0 Mile – Yellow Blazes): Graduating to moderate difficulty, this trail takes you along ridge crests with gorgeous western and southern views looking out toward Sharp Top Mountain and Grandview Lake. Keep an eye out for the educational signage along the path identifying local tree species and native plant life. The Champion Creek Trail (Strenuous): Now, if you're looking for a true physical test, this is the one. The trail drops down 800 feet of elevation into the bottomland of the Champion Creek valley before reaching a wooden bridge over the creek. Just remember: every foot you walk down, you've got to climb right back up! A Quick Tip from Your Local Bug Man Now, you knew I couldn’t write an article about walking in the woods without throwing in a little friendly advice from your neighborhood exterminator! When you're out enjoying North Georgia's trails—especially during the warmer spring and summer months—nature is out there enjoying it, too. Ticks, mosquitoes, and chiggers love the shade of our hardwoods just as much as we do. Here are a few simple tips before you head out: Tuck and Cover: If you’re heading down the Champion Creek Trail where vegetation gets a bit thicker, tuck your pant legs into your socks. It might not be a high-fashion look, but it keeps seed ticks and chiggers off your skin. Use a Friendly Repellent: Spray an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET or Picaridin on your boots and lower pant legs. Do a Post-Hike Check: When you get back home to Jasper, do a quick tick check on yourself, your kids, and your pets before settling in for dinner. Get Out and Enjoy Pickens County! We are so lucky to call this area home. Places like Burnt Mountain Preserve remind us why North Georgia is such a special place to live, raise a family, and enjoy the outdoors. The next time you have a free Saturday morning, pack a bottle of water, grab a pair of sturdy walking shoes, and head up Route 136 to check out the preserve. And hey, while you're out enjoying the wild bugs in their natural habitat, make sure the ones at home aren’t invading yours! If you ever run into termites, ants, mice, or anything else creeping around your crawlspace or attic, you know who to call. Stay safe, enjoy the mountain views, and let me be YOUR bug man! — Fred Talley Owner & Certified Public Health Specialist, Faith Pest Control Jasper, Georgia The post Fred Talley's Guide to Burnt Mountain Preserve first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Join host Kate Wade as she sits down with Derek Sang, Senior Technical Training Manager at Bulwark Protection, to answer the utility industry's most burning questions about protective clothing. With 25 years of experience, Derek breaks down the critical differences between flame-resistant (FR) and arc-rated (AR) garments, exposes common field errors in wearing and maintaining PPE, and highlights dangerous everyday products like fabric softeners and DEET. Listeners will also learn how modern fabric innovations help combat heat stress, the importance of worker acclimation, and why continuous education is the key to bridging the gap between compliance and real-world safety. Visit Bulwark Protection - https://www.bulwark.com/ Key Takeaways All arc-rated (AR) garments must be flame-resistant (FR), but not all FR garments have an arc rating. Wearing gear correctly—keeping sleeves rolled down, shirts buttoned to the neck, and shirts tucked in—is essential to prevent severe burn injuries. Wearing an arc-rated base layer removes the safety hazard of an untucked shirt because it eliminates access to lightweight, flammable cotton t-shirts. Common maintenance errors include using bleach, peroxide (like OxiClean), and fabric softeners or dryer sheets, which can leave a flammable petrochemical buildup over time. Deet-based bug sprays are highly flammable accelerants that can cause FR gear to catch fire; workers should use permethrin-based products instead. Single-layer work clothing does not contribute to heat stress, and modern 5.5-ounce performance fabrics help keep workers cooler by wicking moisture away from the body. Managing heat stress effectively requires a combination of electrolyte hydration, rest, shade, and structured worker acclimation programs. Continuous worker education and annual audits of industrial laundry programs are necessary to close the safety gap and protect workers from arc flashes. Questions and Answers Q: What is the main difference between flame-resistant (FR) and arc-rated (AR) clothing? A: All arc-rated garments are flame-resistant, meaning they self-extinguish and will not melt or drip. However, not all FR garments have an arc rating. AR garments undergo specific testing to measure their ability to protect against the incident energy of an arc flash, making them necessary for electrical utility and general industry environments. Q: How do everyday laundry and field products like bug spray affect protective gear? A: Products like chlorine bleach, peroxide (found in OxiClean), and fabric softeners can degrade protective properties or build up flammable residues over time. In the field, Deet-based insect repellents are dangerous because Deet is a severe accelerant that can catch fire. Workers should use permethrin-based repellents instead, which have been proven safe for FR clothing. Q: What fabric innovations and protocols help utility workers stay cool in extreme heat? A: The industry has transitioned to lightweight 5.5-ounce fabrics that blend hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers to push moisture away from the body. Beyond clothing, managing heat stress requires proper hydration supplemented with electrolytes, taking breaks in the shade, and utilizing structured acclimation programs to ease workers back into hot environments after taking time off.   #UtilitySafety #ArcFlash #FRClothing #SafetyEducation #PPE #IncidentPrevention #Bulwark   _______________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

When sunny summer days come around, it makes some dermatologists shudder. They would prefer we behave like bats and hide in caves until nightfall. Failing that, they stress the importance of always applying (and re-applying) high SPF sunscreen, wearing sun-blocking clothing with long sleeves and keeping a big-brimmed hat firmly on the head. A beekeeper's outfit might be perfect. But must you really shun the sun completely to save your skin? Our guest describes how to practice moderation safely. He also explains why some people are addicted to sunshine, while others are allergic to it. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes.

Can You Really Be Addicted to Sunlight? Dermatologists do their best to discourage people from using tanning beds. They describe the damage that ultraviolet light can cause, ranging from wrinkles to skin cancer. For some people, though, those arguments just don't make a difference. Our guest, Dr. Steve Feldman, conducted a study several years ago. The volunteers were accustomed to using tanning beds. In the study, there were two beds, one with the usual ultraviolet light and the other, identical in appearance and temperature, had its UV blocked. After a session in each bed, volunteers were allowed to choose their bed for the last session. They almost invariably chose the bed with the active UV. To follow up, the researchers administered naltrexone, the opioid-blocking medication. When volunteers had taken it, they were no longer able to distinguish which bed was active. It seems that, for these people, ultraviolet light activates pro-opiomelanocortin, which in turn triggers the production of natural opioids called endorphins. Further research imaging the brain during tanning sessions confirmed that the UV exposure was activating areas of the brain associated with pleasure (Psychiatry Research. Neuroimaging, May 30, 2016).  Dr. Feldman and a colleague found that excessive indoor tanning is similar in pattern to substance use disorders (Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, May-June 2025). Can You Save Your Skin and Still Enjoy the Outdoors? Dr. Feldman offers advice on avoiding sunburn that is tempered with this fact from epidemiology: people who go out in the sun live longer (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, July 13, 2020).  The goal here is not to shun the sun completely, but rather to exercise enough caution and good judgment to avoid burning your skin. (Who wants to burn, anyway? It hurts, and it looks bad.) Timing your sun exposure carefully is crucial to save your skin from sunburn. You may also be interested in the new sunscreen ingredient the FDA just approved, bemotrizinol. What Can You Do About Heat Rash? When the weather gets hot and bodies get sweaty, heat rash becomes a common complaint. Sweaty skin may develop bumps that can sometimes be very itchy. What do you do to ease the discomfort? If you can cool the skin off, it might help a lot. Of course, people may also suffer from other types of rash. Babies get diaper rash. Women sometimes experience under-breast rash, just as men may develop jock itch. Zinc oxide ointment can often be helpful for these types of rash. Managing Psoriasis Psoriasis is one of Dr. Feldman's special research interests. The red scaly plaques of this skin condition have raised borders. They look a lot like a fungal infection, but there is no fungus present on the skin to cause them. Something else seems to trigger the skin's immune system to react along the same pathways as if there were a fungus. Most of the time, psoriasis is mild enough to manage without costly medications. It actually responds very well to ultraviolet light exposure. UV downregulates the immune system's over-response. While many dermatologists offer UV exposure within their office walls, in the summertime patients could get exposure to sunlight outdoors. This is practical if they avoid the middle of the day, when they might get burned. Another option? Tanning beds also offer an easy way to calibrate the appropriate amount of UV exposure to save your skin from psoriasis. (Most dermatologists don't approve of this one, so don't tell.) One other practical but unorthodox tip for dealing with mild psoriasis. OTC cortisone may not be strong enough to help heal up a red spot. But you could buy Flonase nasal spray or a generic version, fluticasone, over the counter. Spray it on your skin and appreciate the relief. In fact, this could work for a mild case of poison ivy or other skin irritation as well. Severe cases still need a dermatologist's care. What to Do About Atopic Dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is the medical term for eczema. People with allergies or asthma also appear to be more vulnerable to eczema. Dysregulation of the immune mediators interleukin 4 (IL4) or IL13 may be responsible. This condition may appear in a mild form, which can be readily managed, or a more severe form that might require prescription medication. A topical corticosteroid such as triamcinolone will often clear it up. Or you could try spraying on some Flonase nasal spray for a cost-effective low-key approach. Those will actually help the majority of people with mild eczema. Using mild soap rather than detergent-based body wash, moisturizing well and following an anti-inflammatory diet are the pillars of home management. People with more severe atopic dermatitis covering a large portion of the body may need powerful prescription medication rather than topical steroids. Trying to cover so much skin with steroid would probably result in side effects from the cream. Dupixent (dupilumab) is a relatively new self-injectable medication that blocks IL4 and IL13. It works well for most people with atopic dermatitis and has a good safety profile. Certain other drugs in this category, such as Skyrizi (risankizumab), are also pretty safe but very pricey. Stelara (ustekinumab), has been around longer. Biosimilars for Stelara have been approved and are more affordable. Ustekinumab blocks IL12 and IL23. TV ads tout other medicines for this condition as well. Rinvoq (upadacitinib) is three or four times more effective than Dupixent, but it is also super expensive. It is a Janus-kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Xeljanz (tofacitinib) is another potent prescription JAK inhibitor, but it carries an elevated risk of heart attack. Beware of Bug Bites Another summer skin hazard is bug bites. Here unquestionably the best approach to save your skin is avoidance. Appropriate clothing is key. (That beekeeper's suit will come in handy here again.) Dr. Feldman recommends spraying DEET on your pants legs, socks and sleeves rather than directly on your skin. If there are grasses or brush where you have walked, run or played, a tick check immediately upon coming inside is critical. Can AI Help Patients with Skin Problems? It doesn't make sense to tell people to stay off the internet. Some searches can be quite helpful and guide patients in asking their dermatologist the right questions. Dr. Feldman is enthusiastic about DermNet, a New Zealand dermatology website. https://dermnetnz.org  Joe and Terry recommend SkinSight. This Week’s Guest Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD, is Professor of Dermatology, Pathology, and Social Sciences & Health Policy, at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.  His research has been published in over 1,000 peer reviewed, Medline-referenced articles. Expertscape.com ranks Feldman among the top experts in the world on psoriasis, acne, dermatology, and treatment adherence.

I recorded this one on a real hike, which means you get everything unfiltered: sunscreen melting off, DEET getting sprayed on anything that isn't my face, and me trying to sound calm while quietly assuming a bear is about to collect me. We start with tour dates (Raleigh, Indianapolis, St. Charles) and then head straight into Raven Rock State Park, where the quiet trails feel peaceful right up until your brain decides silence is the perfect time to spiral.Somewhere between bad angles, loose shoes, and trail signs that make me question my sense of direction, I tell a story I still can't shake: the time I was on psychedelics, had to go pee, and felt completely certain a bear was waiting to end the night. It's funny because it's ridiculous, but it's also real because fear doesn't care if you're being reasonable. That thread turns into a bigger idea about solo hiking, outdoor mindfulness, and how nature can reset you even when you're not doing it “right.”Then the payoff arrives when we hit the water and the Cape Fear River opens up in front of us. I try to show you the view, try not to drop my phone into the river, and immediately start wondering why we ever stopped drinking straight from streams, before remembering all the reasons. If you want a comedian's nature walk that bounces between awe, anxiety, and dumb jokes, this is it. Subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with your favorite bit or your worst hiking fear.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/DiscombobulatedwithBobbyJaycox

On this, our 333rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how to avoid mosquitoes without DEET, whether Gen Z is really doing better than the generations before it (as some research and headlines proclaim), and what the hell happened to Wikipedia. First: catnip is as effective as DEET in dissuading mosquitoes (but you might end up attracting cats). Next: New research suggests that GenZ is doing great, financially, but dig just a little, and find the research deeply flawed. Finally: Larry Sanger named and led Wikipedia in 2001, and he has now been permanently blocked from the site. It has become an ideological racket rather than an encyclopedia, but we need an encyclopedia. How do we get it back?*****Our sponsors:American Financing: NMLS #182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Folge 304: Rauschmittel, Fersensporn, DEET und Sonnencremes

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Peptides, AMPK, and Other Supplements for Weight Loss.  [0:00:00] Headlines, Glucosamine & Alzheimer's, and Study Skepticism Ed recaps last week's episode about truly high-quality eggs and how to tell if eggs are nutritious Mentions Kristy (“chicken whisperer”) and that her eggs are sold at Nutrition World. Ed addresses a national headline claiming glucosamine may accelerate Alzheimer's. Explains it was an observational study based on medical records, not a controlled trial. People who start glucosamine often already have joint pain, inflammation, or cognitive decline. This creates confounding factors (correlation ≠ causation). Even broad AI-style review of research finds little credibility for the idea that glucosamine worsens Alzheimer's and notes that some data suggest potential benefit. Clint and Ed discuss: How people often change multiple habits at once when they get sick (diet, supplements, etc.). The importance of baseline data (bloodwork, journaling) before judging if changes work [0:13:29] Guest Elisha: What Peptides Are & How They Can Assist Weight Loss Elisha from Nutrition World is introduced. Ed recounts his history with weight-loss supplements: Heavy use of ephedra in the '80s and '90s: effective but with side effects (nervousness, blood pressure, insomnia). Ephedra was eventually banned; Ed largely stopped promoting weight-loss pills, focusing instead on lifestyle, macros, and exercise. Ed admits he dismissed Ancient Nutrition's new Active Peptides at first, assuming it was a label trend riding on the buzzword “peptides.” Reports strong positive feedback from real customers, including many who are not heavy supplement users but want help with appetite and weight. Elisha  explains peptides with a “pearl necklace” analogy: A full necklace = protein. Individual pearls = amino acids. Small segments of the chain = peptides, which act like signals or “text messages” in the body. Distinguishes nutritional peptides (like in this product) from therapeutic/medical peptides (e.g., GLP‑1 drugs). Describes DNF‑10, the peptide in Active Peptides: A three‑amino‑acid chain isolated from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Modulates appetite‑related hormones: Ghrelin (“hunger hormone”) – DNF‑10 helps reduce ghrelin signaling so you feel less hungry. CCK (cholecystokinin) (“fullness hormone”) – DNF‑10 helps increase CCK, making you feel full/satisfied sooner. Elisha's personal experience: Used it to help lose a few pounds before her wedding and to control cravings after a carb‑heavy honeymoon in Italy. Reports feeling less snacky in the afternoons despite the tempting snacks at Nutrition World. Notes customers are consistently “wowed” by the effect on appetite Product forms and dosing: Powder in flavors like guava grapefruit and chocolate (which she says tastes like brownie). Capsules: typically 2 per day. Can be mixed with: Ancient Nutrition's A2 protein powder after lunch. Or simply with water. [0:24:35]  AMPK, Berberine & Metabolism Support Products Alicia introduces Life Extension AMPK Metabolic Activator: AMPK is described as a master cellular switch in every cell — like the light switch in your house showing you what needs cleaning. Supports cellular cleanup and improves handling of belly/visceral fat, the dangerous fat around organs. Typical study protocol: 12–16 weeks (3–4 months) for notable changes. Usually 1 capsule per day. Ed references Dr. David Sinclair and the role of AMPK (and NMN) in longevity, noting strong safety when aiming to restore normal function, not push extremes. Berberine: Also activates AMPK. Mimics some effects of metformin: supports blood sugar balance and metabolic health. Very safe overall, though some experience GI upset; Ed notes finding a brand that minimized stomach issues. Nutrition World pharmacist Dr. Curt Dearing frequently recommends it. Life Seasons Metabolism Formula: Designed to boost resting metabolic rate rather than affect satiety. Key ingredients mentioned: Green tea (thermogenesis) Cayenne pepper (metabolic “furnace”) Theobromine (mild stimulant for energy without jitters) Theanine (calming) Cacao (hormonal and metabolic support) Green coffee bean (via chlorogenic acid; supports liver and moderates sugar release, especially in fasting). Ed recalls the Dr. Oz–era fad around green coffee bean and notes that while it was overhyped, it does have real, modest benefits when used correctly and not as a “magic pill.” Ed describes his own experience: Training for the Chattanooga Fitness bodybuilding event. Cut calories by ~40% for the first time at age almost 69, but only lost about 7 pounds, illustrating slower metabolism with age. Elisha emphasizes: These products are tools, not replacements for macros, exercise, and lifestyle. Goal is to raise resting metabolic rate and support what diet and training are already doing. Elisha notes peptides are fine in the evening (non‑stimulating) but the Metabolism formula should be used earlier in the day due to its stimulating ingredients. [0:37:39] Aging, Eye Strain Ed reframes healthy aging: Less about reaching extreme ages (e.g., 120+) and more about strength, clarity, mobility, and energy in the years you do have. Notes concepts like a “heartbeat quota”—a rough idea that we have a finite number of heartbeats. Discusses modern eye strain from constant near‑focus screens: Historically, humans mostly focused on distant objects. Screen use reduces blinking from about 15 times/min to 5–7 times/min, leading to dry, strained eyes. Recommends the 20‑20‑20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Mentions lutein and zeaxanthin from green vegetables as supportive eye nutrients. [0:40:51] Teflon, & philosophy on chemicals Ed shares a household tip: He uses green, non‑toxic stainless steel cookware (360 Cookware) but scrambled eggs stick badly. His sister suggested Dawn Powerwash, which worked exceptionally well on the pan. Clint notes he uses non‑stick pans where food slides right out. Ed warns: Many non‑stick pans (e.g., classic Teflon) can contain “forever chemicals”, potentially harming hormones and long‑term health. Philosophical tension: Show is generally pro‑“green pharmacy” and low‑chemical living, but Ed acknowledges sometimes selective use of effective products (like Dawn Powerwash) can be very helpful if used sparingly and thoughtfully. [0:42:15]  Intermittent fasting & hair loss Ed shares findings from a new research study linking intermittent fasting with increased hair loss: During fasting, the body shifts from glucose to fat as fuel. Hair follicle stem cells strongly prefer glucose; forcing them to rely on fat can stress or damage them. Fasting may flood follicles with toxic fatty acids, especially in the presence of widespread seed‑oil consumption (canola, generic “vegetable oils,” etc.). Reinforces Ed's long‑standing reservations about intermittent fasting: Risk of insufficient protein, leading to muscle loss and higher mortality. Harder to build muscle within a restricted eating window. Adds this hair loss risk as another factor against aggressive fasting for many people. [0:44:59] Tinnitus & diet Study highlights dietary links for tinnitus (ringing in the ears): Higher fruit consumption correlates with lower odds of developing tinnitus. Butter and legumes appeared to calm tinnitus symptoms. MSG and aspartame/Nutrasweet can worsen tinnitus by overstimulating nerves. [0:46:00] Safer bug repellents Ed discusses concerns with DEET: Effective but not ideal for frequent or heavy use, especially on children and over large skin areas. Introduces picaridin (he pronounces it like “Picardian”): 20% picaridin spray is comparable to DEET for repelling mosquitoes and ticks. Has a better safety profile, less damaging to fabrics, and is Ed's top chemical alternative to DEET. Natural/green options: Lemon eucalyptus oil and similar formulas can repel mosquitoes for up to 6 hours. Nutrition World carries options like Trek and “Extra Strength Tick Repellent,” which Ed's family uses directly on skin, especially for his grandkids. [0:54:08] Resistance Training, Longevity, Mindset on Medicine vs. Nature Ed cites a study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine: 90–119 minutes per week of resistance training associated with: 13% lower all‑cause mortality. 19% lower cardiovascular mortality. 27% lower mortality from neurological diseases, particularly dementia‑related. Reiterates: Exercise is the most reliable “elixir” of longevity. Emphasizes that quality of life and cognitive health are at least as important as adding years. Ed quotes Andrew Kaufman, MD, who advocates: Strong belief in natural healing and the body's innate ability to self‑regulate. Skepticism toward new pharmaceuticals and product trends. “Your body is always working in service to your healing.” Ed adds his own nuance: There is an important role for short‑term pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and acute interventions when life‑saving. But defaulting to nature and lifestyle first, with drugs as Plan B, is his guiding model. Clint points out that practitioners who have worked both in conventional and integrative spaces can often offer the best balanced guidance, understanding both toolkits without being dogmatic. [0:56:15]  Final reflections & closing Ed summarizes: The world can be divided into “learners and non‑learners,” and listeners of the show are very much in the “learner” camp. The show's mission is to give practical, immediately usable health strategies that often aren't emphasized in conventional appointments. Clint highlights: We can't control everything (genetics, some disease), but having things we can control (diet, movement, sleep, supplements, environment) gives confidence and calm. Ed emphasizes the phrase: “Genes load the gun; lifestyle pulls the trigger.” Good habits can keep risky genes silent much longer The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 21, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-18-2026:>/p> Dr. Dawn opens with Virginia Tech research showing yellow fever mosquitoes can learn to associate DEET with blood meals after just four pairings, with over 60% of trained mosquitoes lunging at DEET alone. She emphasizes using DEET at sufficient concentration since under-application could teach mosquitoes a "life lesson" that compromises one of our best protections against malaria, dengue, and Zika. A controversial new theory from the University of Bonn proposes that iron-rich macrophages in the pigeon liver serve as the long-elusive magnetic compass. Pigeons given drugs that wiped out their liver macrophages became completely disoriented when released on a cloudy day, though critics argue the trace iron is too weakly magnetic and birds may have been agitated by the drug itself. A COVID-era crowd-movement study found that in 32 of 33 trials, people preferred to turn counterclockwise regardless of handedness or culture (Spain and Japan). Animals show no such bias, suggesting a uniquely human biochemical asymmetry—Dr. Dawn speculates this may relate to left-hemisphere language centers near the inner ear, and notes racetracks worldwide run counterclockwise. A caller in Ben Lomond reports mouth irritation from FYGG nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste. Dr. Dawn suspects bystander ingredients (flavorings, paste-consistency agents) rather than the hydroxyapatite itself—which acts as remineralizing "grout" filling tiny tooth cracks—and recommends switching to a different fluoride-free brand like Tom's after the caller confirmed reaction on rechallenge. The same caller asks about turmeric liver toxicity. Dr. Dawn explains that reputable companies following good manufacturing practices stay within 5-10% accuracy on dosing, and her recommended dose (one teaspoon turmeric, one-eighth teaspoon black pepper, around 5g daily) stays far below toxic levels. Curcumin inhibits NF-kappa-B, the master switch for inflammatory cascades. An emailer in Bonny Doon asks about treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Dawn recommends electrical acupuncture which works more than half the time, combined with methylated B12 (2,000 micrograms daily), methylated folate (1,000 micrograms twice daily), alpha lipoic acid (300mg twice daily, also effective for tinnitus), and acetyl-L-carnitine (1,500mg daily). She also recommends photomodulation devices using 635nm red light with near-infrared. A caller raises magnetic field effects on humans. Dr. Dawn discusses human adaptability, referencing Chernobyl black moths that increased melanin epigenetically and ongoing efforts to upregulate radiation-resistance genes via mRNA for future space travel. The conversation turns to evolution of unique human hair patterns, with Dr. Dawn proposing sexual selection (armpit/pubic hair for pheromones) and neoteny (women's facial smoothness resembling infants triggering protective responses) as explanations. Dr. Dawn responds to a crowdsourced question about why Santa Cruz "makes people weird," attributing it to the area's low penalties for aberrant behavior and high tolerance for nonconformity. She explains how mirroring within small subgroups creates internal conformity even amid outward "weirdness," with sixties counterculture as a foundational influence. For another crowdsourced question on vitamins for women in their mid-twenties, Dr. Dawn recommends prenatal vitamins because they include extra iron for menstruating women plus adequate B vitamins. For those eating standard American diets or in dorms, she suggests B100 complex, 500mg calcium, and vitamin C.

This week on Lost in Science, Chris gets stuck into the science of quicksand, exploring how this famous movie menace is actually a fascinating non-Newtonian fluid. Meanwhile, Claire investigates surprising new research into DEET, the world's most popular insect repellent, revealing that mosquitoes may be able to learn to associate it with a tasty meal, and even become attracted to it.

This weather is the perfect condition for mosquitoes to thrive. Standing water from the rain and warm humid temperatures. That means it's that time of year where you may be lathering up in your bug spray when you're outside. DEET is most commonly used to repel mosquitoes in bug spray, but new research has found that mosquitoes could learn to associate DEET with dinner. Joining Minnesota Now is one of the authors of the research, Clément Vinauger, who is an associate professor of biochemistry at Virginia Tech.

And what does it have to do with diseases like Alpha-gal syndrome?I keep getting messages asking what I do about ticks on my homestead, and the more I look into this topic, the stranger it gets. Farmers say tick pressure is worse than they've ever seen. Hunters are pulling shocking numbers off of deer. Families find them on their kids after a few minutes outside.Let's dive into why this feels different now, and why I don't think we're getting the full story.In this episode, I cover the Cold War-era research on ticks and other insects as vectors, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, the 2019 Congressional amendment asking the Pentagon to investigate biological weapons used between 1950 and 1975, and the Gates Foundation funding cattle tick research.Then I share the practical side.

What doesn't kill mosquitoes... might very well be making them stronger. That means you might have to resort to slapping yourself after all. A new study claims that mosquitoes can learn to like DEET, a common ingredient in bug repellent. The reason? We're not using it enough, and we're not using enough of it. Inside Sources hears from listeners about the ways they keep mosquitoes at bay.

Hello, Friday! Warm weather, plenty of sun, and nothing to do this afternoon! Hope you have a great weekend as we get ready to turn the page in the calendar to JUNE on Monday. In the news this morning, an updated on the Lynette Hooker disappearance in the Bahamas, a slew of artists are already backing out of the Freedom 250 concert in Washington DC, another billionaire's rocket explodes on the launchpad, and we might be getting $250 bills with Trump's face on them. In sports, the Brewers were off last night…but start a three-game series against the Astros in Houston tonight, the Spurs beat the Thunder last night to force a decisive Game Seven tomorrow night in OKC, the latest on the tragic death of hockey legend Claude Lemieux, and Jaxson Dart has some 'splaining to do with his Giants teammates after introducing President Donald Trump last week at an event. We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, some new music releases to check out, and we also discussed whether or not "Disclosure Day" is propaganda to get the human race ready for an actual confirmation of alien life on Earth. Elsewhere in sports, the Enhanced Games are upping the prize for someone to break Usain Bolt's record, a NASCAR employee is suspended indefinitely for running someone over with a golf card, and a youth baseball coach is banned for LIFE! A new poll asked people to list some signs that someone has "made it"…and apparently a walk-in closet is in the top 10. Also, with Summer right around the corner, you might want to ease up on the DEET when you're chilling in the backyard. Allegedly, mosquitos can get used to it if you over-spray the stuff. Check out this barber in Iowa who is turning a negative into a positive after suffering a stroke while on the job, and a new program in the Netherlands is turning discarded cigarette butts into free food for people who collect them. Doc joined us just after 8am to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy from Illinois who got drunk & stole a cop car while visiting #Florida, a man in Pennsylvania who came home drunk…argued with his wife…and then tried to tear down his own home with an excavator with his wife & kids still inside, a woman who got absolutely throttled by a horse that kicked her, a dude who claims that some hot coffee burned his dick really bad on a flight, a #FloridaWoman who got arrested after her tampon(aka, a bag of cocaine) fell on the floor of her car during a traffic stop, and a teacher who was dosing her kids with melatonin to get them to sleep during class.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Gelflings and Skeksis prepare to meet in battle to decide the ultimate fate of Thra, we dreamfast with Blythe and Lauren, to discuss the Olympics, sexy Skeksis, and porn, and also to debate whether the the first and only season of The Age of Resistance is a cool and good story, or whether the lack of resolution for Deet means that it is not awesome.

Send us Fan MailOntario camping can be magical right up until the black flies find you. We get honest about what really happens from May to mid-July and beyond, then lay out a simple, workable bug plan you can actually use on your next canoe trip, backcountry route, or family car-camping weekend.We start with a few shout outs from the broader camping community, including a lightweight carbon fibre paddle we're excited to test on an upcoming Spanish River trip, and an epic Canada By Canoe challenge aiming to break the world record for the longest single-season canoe trip while raising money for True North Aid. We also recap a presentation-heavy backcountry canoe symposium at the Canadian Canoe Museum and a Camp Kitchen gathering where food, gear, and good people all collide in the best way.Then we dig into Ontario bug season survival: when black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, horseflies, ticks, and midges tend to peak, what attracts them, and what helps most. We talk DEET vs icaridin (picaridin), why physical barriers like bug shirts, head nets, and screened shelters often beat gimmicks, and why dense fabric, tight cuffs, and even pants tucked into socks can save your sanity. We also share campsite selection lessons, from avoiding calm water and deep shade to understanding why that “perfect” empty site might be empty for a reason. We even explore a curious idea about why some people seem to attract more bites than others.If you've ever planned a trip around bugs or had them wreck a campsite, you'll feel seen and you'll leave with a clearer strategy.

As our Gelfing heroes unite in the Dreamscape, Lauren reunites with us in the Pod(ling)scape, to get real with us about Deet, the realest of real ones, to further examine the strange role of Podlings in Thra, and to chat with us about all of our first concerts that we attended.

As three different Gelflings from disparate parts of Thra find themselves drawn to the path of resistance against the cruelty of the Skeksis, Blythe Rudloff finds herself drawn to the podcast by the siren song of Dark Crystal! We're covering the first part of the Age of Resistance tie-in comic, as well as the first three episodes of the TV show, which means we'll be analyzing how well this world translates to the page, pondering the confusing nature of the Podlings, and worshipping at the altar of precious and pure Deet. Also, squirrels!

What are the pros and cons of DEET mosquito repellent? Also, picaridin, citronella, and lemon eucalyptus are put to the test.

Paul says in the last days people are going to be so evil and not care. It seems as if he is describing the world in 2025! He gives a long description of people and how empty their hearts are. Paul calls out deceitful men who prey on vulnerable women, gaining their confidence, only to take advantage of them in the end. He mentions two men by name that aren't found in scripture, Jannes and Jambres. These two men, according to the Talmud and tradition, are the two magicians that stood against Moses before pharaoh. They were able to recreate some of the plagues but not all of them and their sins were exposed in the end. You can pretend to play church and deceive many people, but your sin will find you out! And you aren't fooling God...He knows everything about you, including what is in your heart!

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description""  See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu   4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told.         6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu   7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace.   Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

Story at-a-glance Mosquitoes are drawn to your body's natural scent, heat, breath, and even clothing color, making some people far more attractive to them than others Genetic factors account for about 62% of how attractive you are to mosquitoes, with identical twins showing nearly identical mosquito appeal in lab tests People with type O blood are bitten significantly more often than those with types A, B, or AB, though this doesn't impact how many eggs mosquitoes lay afterward Everyday choices like using scented lotion, wearing red or black clothing, drinking alcohol, or being overheated all raise your mosquito bite risk Plant-based oils like Russian sage and wild mint repel mosquitoes as effectively as DEET in lab studies, offering a safer way to protect yourself without toxic chemicals

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on the planet, and some of them may be on the rise. At least in listener Abigail Krich-Starr's area, that's due to warmer, wetter weather — which, yes, is linked to climate change. But it doesn't stop there: Ecologists and entomologists say increased heat could also alter mosquito behavior, shift their natural habitat, and even change how pathogens incubate and spread inside their bodies.So how do you protect yourself against the (mosquito) masses? Our experts suggested several things:- Assess your risk by checking local mosquito surveillance efforts, like this one for the state of Massachusetts- Consider rescheduling outdoor events happening between dusk and dawn, which is peak biting time for multiple mosquito species- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, weather-permitting, to limit exposed skin- Use an EPA-approved DEET repellent, and/or a permethrin spray for clothing and outdoor gearThis episode is part of Nature Quest, a monthly Short Wave segment that answers listener questions about the local environment.Got a question about changes in your local environment?

Story at-a-glance Despite limited scientific evidence supporting vitamin B1 as a mosquito repellent, many people report fewer bites when taking it. As a water-soluble vitamin with minimal risk, there's no harm in trying it Essential oils from Russian sage, tangerine peel and wild mint have demonstrated strong mosquito-repelling capabilities in studies, with Russian sage matching DEET's effectiveness for up to 135 minutes Traditional remedies like oils from Hatkora fruit and Anchiri root provide impressive protection lasting over six hours; this makes them viable natural alternatives to chemical repellents Eliminating standing water around your home is key for mosquito control, as these insects need water to breed and typically don't travel far from their hatching sites Natural mosquito control strategies include wearing light-colored clothing, installing bat houses and planting repellent herbs like citronella, lavender and marigold near entryways
