KIDS LOVE FOOD. Food allergies are on the rise across the U.S. among adults and children. To combat this epidemic, scientists and doctors suggest starting to develop tolerance among infants. “We need to work with pediatricians - the first physicians who care for most babies...We need to overcome the current barriers so all physicians who deal with infants understand that early introduction could lead to a new generation of children who have far less peanut allergy,” said Dr. David Stukus, allergist and ACAAI member, in a press release.

Coach John Benham has been the SHS Boys Cross Country coach for six years while simultaneously working at Mason as an Art teacher. Over the course of those six years he has raised awareness for Breast Cancer, Alzheimers, ALS, Brain Cancer, Autism, and finally Mental Health and Suicide Prevention. “It’s been a really great four years, getting to do something so impactful with such a large group of people,” Isakson said.

We lack a good vocabulary for discussing mental health. “It’s impossible for people who have not experienced major depression to understand the depths of those feelings. This isn’t sadness we’re talking about. It’s like falling into a pit and feeling like you’re never going to hit the bottom,” said Peggy Huppert, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Iowa, to USA Today.

In order to see if mosquitoes could carry more than one of the viruses simultaneously, a team at Colorado State University infects Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with both Zika and chikunguny. “Their saliva is clearly testing positive for both, which could mean that people bitten by this type of mosquito could be infected by both viruses at once,” researcher Claudia Ruckert said in a statement. The frightening implications could mean that a whole new approach must be taken in order to combat these viruses.
