 Nipah virus: What to know after cases emerge in India | RNZ News

 Chinese New Year is around the corner.  

Why I write about Noro but I did not try to write about Nipah Virus.  Because, there are much higher chance for my readers to get "attack" by the former. 

Nipah V is similar to SARS 1 Virus of 2003.  Nipah happened in Malaysia around 1998, around Bukit Pelanduk, Negeri Sembilan.  Though scary, the THREAT to us is mainly a psychological/mental one.

Noro is a food poisoning virus.  And CNY is here, MAKAN is a big affair during festivals.  The THREAT here is as long as you eat some uncooked food, you can get it.  Higher chance to get it from uncooked seafood.

An outbreak of food poisoning just happened (since mid January) in Hong Kong likely, initial incident traced to a 5 Stars Hotel. Up to yesterday about 70 affected. 

So, it can happen anywhere.  

Enjoy your Chinese New Year.  

Stay away from Food Poisoning.

Carcinogen Classification. Stuff to avoid

  August 22, 2025   We are afraid of dying slowly, ie Dementia, and Cancers.  If there is a way to prevent these, would you be interested?  Many would go for getting to the root causes, and manage exposure to these.  I want to write about cancer causing agents 1st. International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has evaluated >1000 agents and classified them into classes according to likelihood (strength of evidence) as below:       Here is a short YouTube video explaining this table  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP60nNXqNOo   This time, FOR HEALTH, I bring up about WHAT TO AVOID. to stay in good health (the negatives).  Next week, I should talk about what to GET INTO OUR BODY, or DO to stay in good health (the positives).
