According to Wikipedia, mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. There are not so many cases of exposure to asbestos not until during the World War II. Experts are mentioned that not only those who are exposed to asbestos can have this disease but members of the family who wash the clothes that were exposed are also prone to getting the disease. It may sound a little unfamiliar to common people but in cases of mesothelioma asbestos is the main contributing factor for getting the disease. After some time of exposure, the victim can acquire mesothelioma cancer a period when cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order and then invading and damaging nearby tissues and organs.

People eat to live and eating, hands down is one of the pleasurable things on earth. However to women, it somehow varies. For some reason, women have a higher tendency to have eating disorders than men due to depression and other psychological factors.

Bulimia treatments should be taken seriously right at its symptoms because it will have a big impact on both physical and emotional aspect of a person. Same thing goes for anorexia treatment.

My curiosity has kicked again, this time about global warming and diseases. With all the alarming news on TV and on the internet, I think people over reacting to the scenario are merely acceptable. There was actually a journal released by World Health Organization saying that climate change will really have a big impact on communicable diseases. They mention about an increase in water born and respiratory diseases beside eye and skin diseases. There will also be problems with diarrhea especially for developing countries as well as heat stroke due to high temperature. In connection to this increased temperature, some places who didn’t have cases of Dengue fever will have a probability because high temperature is conducive to mosquito breeding. They also mentioned about increase rate of malaria and heat stroke. In this case, how can we protect ourselves? We have to take extra safety measures. I think the spread of diseases is also one of the effects of globalization.
