Samantha Rux from OSF Healthcare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss mosquitoes and West Nile Virus. Health officials in Illinois are urging caution as mosquito testing reveals positive results for West Nile Virus in 18 counties, including Henry, Stark, and Bureau. Although no human cases have been reported so far, the risk remains high, particularly for older adults and those with compromised immune systems. The West Nile virus is mainly transmitted by mosquito bites, and past outbreaks in Illinois have been severe. Residents are encouraged to use EPA-approved insect repellent, wear protective clothing outdoors, and regularly remove standing water to prevent mosquito breeding. Early symptoms include high fever and severe headache; seek medical care if these occur. The West Nile virus, primarily transmitted through mosquito bites, is a growing health concern during the warmer months. While most people experience no symptoms or only mild, flu-like illness, severe cases can lead to dangerous conditions such as encephalitis or meningitis, especially in older adults or those with weakened immune systems. There is no vaccine or specific treatment available. The best defense is prevention: use EPA-approved insect repellents, wear long sleeves and pants outdoors, and eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed. Awareness of symptoms like high fever, severe headache, or confusion is crucial—seek medical attention if these develop. Illinois has faced significant challenges with West Nile virus since it was first detected in dead crows in the Chicago area in September 2001. By 2002, the state reported the highest number of human cases and fatalities in the United States, with 884 cases and 64 deaths. The Illinois Department of Public Health uses a comprehensive surveillance system to track infected birds, mosquitoes, horses, and humans. West Nile virus is primarily spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes, with people over 60 most at risk for severe illness. Authorities urge residents to eliminate standing water and use protective measures to reduce risk.

Unusual Deaths The history of unusual deaths is a fascinating, if sometimes macabre, collection of bizarre and unexpected demises that span centuries and cultures. These stories often highlight the unpredictable nature of life, the oddities of human behavior, and sometimes, the limits of scientific understanding. While many accounts are well-documented, others exist as legend or have been subject to modern re-evaluation.Deaths by Unforeseen Accidents and Objects:Aeschylus (c. 525/524 – c. 456/455 BC): The ancient Greek playwright is famously (and possibly apocryphally) said to have died when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his bald head, mistaking it for a rock to break the tortoise's shell. Ironically, he was said to have gone outside to avoid a prophecy about a falling object.Hans Staininger (16th Century): The burgomaster of Braunau am Inn, Austria, was known for his extraordinarily long beard (reportedly 4.5 feet or 1.4 meters). He died when he tripped over his own beard during a fire evacuation, breaking his neck. His beard is reportedly still preserved in a local museum.James Betts (1667): An English suitor who, while hidden in a wardrobe by his lover to avoid her father, became trapped and suffocated to death.Adolf Frederick, King of Sweden (1710–1771): This monarch is reported to have died from overeating. On February 12, 1771, after consuming a massive meal of lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, kippers, and 14 servings of his favorite dessert (semla, a sweet bun), he succumbed to digestive problems.Tycho Brahe (1546–1601): The eccentric Danish astronomer reportedly died from a burst bladder after refusing to leave a banquet to relieve himself, considering it impolite. Modern analysis of his remains in 2010 found no evidence of poison, supporting this theory.Clement Vallandigham (1871): A lawyer and politician who accidentally shot himself in court while demonstrating how a victim in a murder case might have shot himself. He was attempting to prove that the victim could have self-inflicted the fatal wound.Franz Reichelt (1912): Known as the "Flying Tailor," Reichelt was an Austrian-born French tailor who died testing his self-designed parachute from the Eiffel Tower. His invention failed, and he fell to his death.Roger Wallace (2002): A 60-year-old man who was flying his 5-foot wingspan remote-control plane when he lost sight of it in the sun. The plane struck him in the chest, killing him.Jose Luis Ochoa (2011): A man in California died after a cockerel (rooster) participating in an illegal cock-fighting match stabbed him in the leg with a knife that had been strapped to it for fighting.Brittanie Cecil (2002): A 13-year-old girl who died from injuries at an NHL game after being struck in the temple by a deflected hockey puck. She was the first and only fan fatality in the league's history.Chandler Hugh Jackson (2005): A 12-year-old boy who died after falling on his 9-iron golf club, which broke and pierced his aorta through his chest.Steve Irwin (2006): The "Crocodile Hunter" and Australian wildlife expert, died after a stingray's barb pierced his chest while he was filming in shallow water off the Great Barrier Reef.Deaths with Mysterious or Disputed Circumstances:Alexander the Great (356–323 BC): Died at the age of 32 after a two-week illness. Theories range from malaria, typhoid fever, or West Nile encephalitis, to even Guillain-Barré syndrome, which could have left him paralyzed and appearing dead before he truly was. His body reportedly showed no signs of decay for six days after his "death." and there's moreGrigori Rasputin (1869–1916):.Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849): The Somerton Man (1948):Elisa Lam (2013): The Dyatlov Pass Incident (1959):#UnusualDeaths, #StrangeDeaths, #BizarreDeaths ,#HistoricalMysteries ,#FatalFollies ,#DeathByDesign, #UnexplainedDeaths ,#MacabreHistory ,#OddDemises, #TrueCrimeStrangeCases, #WhenDeathGetsWeird, #HistoryFacts #CreepyButTrue,

How To Kick the Snooze Button Habit:Waking up several times interrupts and fragments sleep, which means you'll cycle back and forth between light, non restorative sleep and being awake, which isn't restful.It can leave you feeling tired and groggy when you finally get out of bed.It reinforces bad sleep habitsOn top of not feeling rested, alert and at your best, the sleep expert points out that consistently not getting enough sleep can raise the risk of weight gain, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders and even dementia.Fortunately, you can break the sleep-snooze cycle by:Making sure you're getting enough sleep to feel truly rested, which is between seven and eight hours a night for most folks.Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule, which Auckley notes is easier if you time to rise to when your internal body clock starts to wake you up.In the morning, try to resist hitting snooze and get up as soon as your alarm goes off.Getting morning light exposure as soon as possible when you wake up, which helps keep your internal clock in sync and improves alertness.Have a positive morning ritual to look forward to, whether it's enjoying freshly made coffee on your porch or catching up on sports scores.Things You Are Still Wasting Your Money On:ATM FeesIn 2025, paying ATM fees is almost a fool's errand. With so many online banks offering free ATM withdrawals and brick-and-mortar banks offering a large network of free ATMs or ATM fee reimbursement, paying several dollars a month is seemingly avoidable. Simply put, there's no reason to waste money on fees just to access your own cash so even if it takes planning ahead, make sure you omit this expense.Bottled WaterShockingly, people continue to spend money on bottled water, even given both the financial and environmental downfalls. If you don't trust your tap water, even the cost of installing a filter or having one in your fridge can make it worth your money in the long run. Stop paying for something you can essentially get for free and invest in a quality reusable water bottle for when you're on the go.Brand-Name MedicationsUnless you're specifically advised by your doctor, opting for brand-name medications over their generic counterparts is a pointless expenditure. Generic drugs have the same active ingredients and undergo the same quality control as their branded counterparts. Switching to generics can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually without compromising on health.Cable TV SubscriptionsThe world has moved on from traditional cable television, but many are still holding onto it — along with its hefty bill. Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ offer customizable viewing options for a fraction of the price and even bundling options. If you're still paying for a bloated cable package, it's time to cut the cord and switch to more budget-friendly entertainment options.Extended WarrantiesRetailers love to upsell extended warranties, but the truth is, they're seldom worth it. Most products are built to last for at least the length of their original warranty, and by the time they break, chances are you'd be looking to upgrade anyway. Instead of shelling out for extended warranties, set aside a small emergency fund for when things really go wrong.Fast FashionCheap, trendy clothing may seem like a good deal, but fast fashion is a money pit. These clothes are usually poorly made and fall apart after just a few wears, forcing you to constantly replenish your wardrobe in a never-ending cycle for your closet and nearest landfill. Instead, invest in quality, timeless pieces that last longer. You'll not only save money but also reduce your environmental footprint.Premium Gas for Non-Luxury CarsUnless your car specifically requires premium gasoline, you're throwing money away by filling up with it, especially when gas prices are already so high. Modern engines are designed to run efficiently on regular unleaded gas, and using premium won't give you any added benefits in performance. Stick to regular gas and watch your fuel expenses drop in what you pay at the pump.Overpriced Online Shopping on AmazonName-brand phone chargers, headphones, and other items can cost up to three times as much on Amazon when compared to other retailers or the product's own website. Check reviews before you add something to your cart as many will let you know if it's worth the cost. Don't be afraid to shop around, as varying sticker prices could shock you.Unused Gym MembershipsIn 2025, no matter your fitness resolutions, there's no reason to pay for a gym membership you're not using. With the explosion of online workout platforms, free YouTube fitness channels, and affordable apps, staying in shape no longer requires an expensive gym pass, particularly if you don't go regularly. If you're still paying for a membership you rarely use, it's time to cancel and explore the world of free digital fitness.What ER Doctors Bring On Vacation:Anti-nausea medication - “Always pack Zofran, just in case,” said Dr. Cedric Dark, associate professor of emergency medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “The feeling of nausea and vomiting is one of the most hated things you could ever imagine and there's nothing over-the-counter that is that helpful.” Zofran is only available by prescription, but it dissolves under your tongue, so it works even when you can't really keep anything down.A bug zapper - Dr. Dark says standalone mosquito traps or a mosquito zapper racquet like the one he uses are must-haves for traveling somewhere tropical, where the insects can carry serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus and dengue fever.Tweezers - They're a fix for the far more simple, but common problem of splinters, and that's why tweezers are a travel essential for Dr. Joy Crook, associate professor of clinical emergency medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.Compression socks - The CDC warns that traveling for more than four hours by air, car or bus raises the risk of developing blood clots, but wearing compression socks can help lower that risk. That's why they're a go-to for Dr. Erin Muckey, associate professor of emergency medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.A portable charger - Dr. Eric Adkins, an emergency medicine physician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, points out that you can't call for help or look up where the nearest pharmacy or hospital is with a dead phone battery, so he packs a portable charger.A carbon monoxide detector - Dr. Crook says this is a recent addition to her travel bag, since several stories of travelers dying from carbon monoxide poisoning have happened this year alone.Melatonin - Not sleeping well can weaken the immune system, which can make you more likely to get sick, but melatonin supplements can help “reset your internal clock,” according to Adkins, so you can snooze.Second Date Update: Dalia and Reggie go to the Mountain Winery to see Chris Isaak.

The Author Events Series presents Dr. Anthony Fauci | On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT! In Conversation with Dave Davies  Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous - and most revered - doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero. His memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home. ON CALL will be an inspiration for readers who admire and are grateful to him and for those who want to emulate him in public service. He is the embodiment of "speaking truth to power," with dignity and results. Dave Davies is a regular contributor and guest host for NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. In addition to his work on Fresh Air, Davies spent more than three decades covering city government and state and local politics in Philadelphia, for WHYY-FM, KYW Newsradio and the Philadelphia Daily News. Davies is a graduate of the University of Texas.

Vectors in a Hotter World

This week we discuss vectors in a hotter world.   Vector-borne diseases, which are transmitted by hematophagous arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies, pose a significant burden on global public health. These diseases disproportionately affect populations in tropical and subtropical regions, where environmental conditions favor the survival and proliferation of vectors. Given that vectors are ectothermic organisms, their life cycles, reproduction, survival rates, and geographic distribution are heavily influenced by climate variables such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Consequently, changes in climate patterns can have profound effects on the transmission dynamics of vector-borne diseases, altering their geographic spread and intensity. Rising global temperatures have led to the expansion of vector habitats into previously unsuitable regions, including temperate zones. Warmer climates accelerate the development of many vectors and pathogens, reducing the extrinsic incubation period of viruses such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Additionally, increased temperatures can extend the breeding season of mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti and Anopheles species, enhancing their capacity to transmit diseases such as malaria. Conversely, extreme heat events may reduce vector survival in some regions, leading to localized declines in transmission. ​Changes in precipitation patterns also play a crucial role in shaping vector distribution. Heavy rainfall events can create new breeding sites for mosquitoes by increasing the availability of stagnant water, while drought conditions may drive vectors closer to human settlements in search of water sources. In particular, shifts in rainfall patterns have been linked to outbreaks of malaria, dengue, and West Nile virus in various parts of the world. Increased humidity can further facilitate the survival of certain pathogens within vectors, enhancing their ability to transmit infections. Beyond climate variables, other anthropogenic factors contribute to the spread of vector-borne diseases. Land use changes, such as deforestation and urbanization, have disrupted natural ecosystems, bringing vectors and humans into closer contact. For example, deforestation in the Amazon has been associated with increased malaria transmission due to the creation of new breeding sites for Anopheles mosquitoes. Similarly, expanding urban populations with inadequate water management systems provide ideal conditions for the proliferation of Aedes mosquitoes, driving the rise in dengue and chikungunya cases. Globalization and human mobility further compound the issue by facilitating the movement of infected individuals and vectors across borders. Increased travel and trade have contributed to the introduction and establishment of vector-borne diseases in regions where they were previously rare. For instance, the spread of Aedes albopictus, a competent vector for dengue and chikungunya, has been linked to international trade in used tires and lucky bamboo plants, which serve as breeding grounds during transport. The multifaceted relationship between climate change and vector-borne diseases presents a challenge for public health interventions. While climate factors influence vector dynamics, their impact is often modulated by socio-economic conditions, infrastructure, and public health responses. To mitigate the growing threat of vector-borne diseases, an integrated approach is necessary—combining climate adaptation strategies, vector control measures, surveillance programs, and community engagement. Recent research underscores the importance of predictive modeling to anticipate outbreaks and inform public health policies. Advances in remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and climate modeling are enabling researchers to identify high-risk areas and implement targeted interventions. Strengthening early warning systems and investing in sustainable vector control strategies, such as genetically modified mosquitoes and Wolbachia-infected mosquito programs, offer promising avenues for reducing disease transmission. In conclusion, while climate change is reshaping the global landscape of vector-borne diseases, its effects are complex and intertwined with other environmental and societal factors. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing proactive strategies to mitigate the risks associated with the redistribution of vectors and the spread of diseases worldwide. By integrating climate science, epidemiology, and public health measures, we can better prepare for emerging threats and protect vulnerable populations from the growing impact of vector-borne diseases.

He also provides updates on his friend John, who continues to inspire despite his own health struggles, and shares insights from his role at Fidelity National Financial, where he focuses on sales enablement. As the year comes to a close, Bill encourages listeners to prioritize connection and communication in their professional lives, ensuring that no client feels neglected.Bill Risser, the host of the Real Estate Sessions podcast, takes a reflective journey in episode 405, sharing personal anecdotes and insights from his career in real estate. With nearly 25 years of experience, Risser dives deep into his own life experiences, discussing a curious pattern of health challenges that have emerged every six years since 2006. This cycle began with a serious health scare from West Nile fever, followed by a colon cancer diagnosis in 2012, and most recently, the excision of malignant melanoma in 2024. Risser candidly shares how these experiences have shaped his perspective on life, resilience, and the importance of staying connected with loved ones and colleagues. Amidst these personal revelations, Risser also touches upon the significance of relationships in the real estate industry. He emphasizes the connection between realtors and their clients, underscoring the necessity of maintaining communication and offering value beyond transactions. Drawing from his current role in sales enablement at Fidelity National Financial, he articulates that success in real estate hinges on asking the right questions, understanding clients' needs, and nurturing those relationships over time. This insight resonates deeply, especially in light of the loyalty gap highlighted by the National Association of Realtors, where many clients fail to return to their original agents due to lack of ongoing engagement. Risser's reflections serve not only as personal storytelling but as a call to action for real estate professionals to prioritize client relationships.Takeaways: Bill Risser reflects on a six-year health cycle, sharing personal experiences with illness. The importance of asking the right questions to build relationships in real estate. Maintaining connections with clients is crucial for success in the real estate industry. Bill discusses his current role at Fidelity National Financial and its impact on sales. A personal update on Bill's friend John, who continues to fight cancer.
