20 Facts about Kissing

1  Only you: Human lips are different from those of all other animals because they are everted, meaning that they purse outward.

2  But we are not the only species to engage in kissing-like behaviors. Great apes press their lips together to express excitement, affection, or reconciliation.

3  Scientists are not sure why humans kiss, but some think the answer lies in early feeding experiences. Through nursing and (in some cultures) receiving pre-chewed food from a parent's mouth, infants may learn to associate lip pressure with a loving act.

4  Another possibility: Smelling a loved one's cheek has long served as a means of recognition in cultures around the world, from New Zealand to Alaska. Over time, a brush of the lips may have become a traditional accompaniment.

5  And yet kissing is not universal, leading some experts, like anthropologistVaughn Bryant of Texas A&M, to think it might actually be a learned behavior.

SIDE EFFECTS OF NEBULIZER USE

A nebulizer is a machine that delivers medication to your lungs. Most of the time, nebulizers are used by people with asthma, bronchitis, or other lung diseases or conditions. The side effects that you may experience when using a nebulizer are caused by the medications used, not the nebulizer itself. Side effects from asthma medications can range from mild to very serious.

Anaphylaxis

Rarely, the medications used in nebulizers can cause a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include swelling or tingling of the lips, tongue, or throat; wheezing; and trouble swallowing. This is a medical emergency. Call 911 or seek emergency care immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.

Nervousness

Some of the medications used in nebulizers, such as albuterol, can cause nervousness, a rapid heartbeat, dizziness and shakiness. Let your doctor know if these side effects are bothering you, as your medication or dosage may need to be changed.

Mouth Problems

The act of inhaling the medication through a nebulizer can cause dry mouth, sore throat, a bad taste in the mouth or hoarseness. Sometimes, nebulizers can cause thrush, which is a yeast infection in the mouth. Symptoms of thrush include white spots in the mouth, bleeding and pain. Tell your doctor if these effects are occurring.

Worsening of Asthma Symptoms

Sometimes asthma medications can cause a worsening of your asthma symptoms. If you find yourself needing your nebulizer more often, or if you are experiencing increased shortness of breath, wheezing or coughing, contact your doctor right away.

Needle injuries at work doubled in past decade

The number of health professionals who have been pierced by needles at work has doubled in the last 10 years, leaving medical staff vulnerable to viruses transmitted through blood.

In 2011, 541 incidents of needle stick injuries which exposed staff to blood-borne viruses were recorded, compared to 271 in 2002. And it is likely that the figures are much smaller than the real number of incidents in which health workers were injured by needles while doing their jobs.
