October 3, 20205 yr https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Earthquake-swarm-California-Imperial-Brawley-15612222.php A swarm of earthquakes, the largest a magnitude-4.9, rattled Southern California near the Mexico border Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. No damage or injuries were reported. More than 100 quakes of magnitude 2.5 and above have struck the remote Imperial County since 9 a.m. Thursday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

It was on the evening of November 6 when emergency crews were called out to the shipping facility in Tyler, a city about 100 miles southeast of Dallas. When Tyler Fire Department firefighters got to the scene they found debris in the roadway, fire in several commercial buildings and smoke in the air. The area hardest hit was a building used largely for storage and according to first-responders contained a number of large freezer units. The blast and fire was so intense that the company has had to cease production. In a social media post Saturday the company said, “We have temporarily suspended customer orders due to a fire at our facility and we appreciate your patience as we continue evaluating the situation.”

November 30, 20223 yr Author The thawing of ancient permafrost due to climate change may pose a new threat to humans, according to researchers who revived nearly two dozen viruses – including one frozen under a lake more than 48,500 years ago. European researchers examined ancient samples collected from permafrost in the Siberia region of Russia. They revived and characterized 13 new pathogens, what they termed “zombie viruses,” and found that they remained infectious despite spending many millennia trapped in the frozen ground. Scientists have long warned that the thawing of permafrost due to atmospheric warming will worsen climate change by freeing previously trapped greenhouse gases like methane. But its effect on dormant pathogens is less well understood. The team of researchers from Russia, Germany and France said the biological risk of reanimating the viruses they studied was “totally negligible” due to the strains they targeted, mainly those capable of infecting amoeba microbes. The potential revival of a virus that could infect animals or humans is much more problematic, they said, warning that their work can be extrapolated to show the danger is real. “It is thus likely that ancient permafrost will release these unknown viruses upon thawing,” they wrote in an article posted to the preprint repository bioRxiv that hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed. “How long these viruses could remain infectious once exposed to outdoor conditions, and how likely they will be to encounter and infect a suitable host in the interval, is yet impossible to estimate.” "totally negligible" Riiiggghhhttt https://fortune.com/2022/11/30/zombie-virus-siberia-russia-lake-revived-scientists/

March 29, 20232 yr Author Canadian hybrid murderpigs. Buncha hosers! An invasive species of crossbred "super pigs" from Canada could eventually become an issue for the United States and experts are continuously sounding the alarm while monitoring the situation. Wild pigs have plagued southern states in the U.S. for decades now, according to the Smithsonian Magazine, with the animals destroying crops, killing native species while being a walking petri dish of diseases that can spread to humans. Those pigs reportedly stick to warmer climates like Florida and Texas but still have managed to cause an estimated $2.1 billion in damages annually, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife. Now, according to experts, a breed of wild cross-bred "super pigs" threaten northern U.S. states with the same woes.

September 26, 20232 yr Author There's a better thread for this, but I can't find it... The dreaded rat lungworm—a parasite with a penchant for rats and slugs that occasionally finds itself rambling and writhing in human brains—has firmly established itself in the Southeast US and will likely continue its rapid invasion, a study published this week suggests. When a rat lungworm finds itself in a human, it does what it usually does in rats—it heads to the central nervous system and brain. Sometimes the migration of the worms to the central nervous system is asymptomatic or only causes mild transient symptoms. But, sometimes, they cause severe neurological dysfunction. This can start with nonspecific symptoms like headache, light sensitivity, and insomnia and develop into neck stiffness and pain, tingling or burning of the skin, double vision, bowel or bladder difficulties, and seizures. In severe cases, it can cause nerve damage, paralysis, coma, and even death. Regardless, there's no specific treatment for a rat lungworm infection. No anti-parasitic drugs have proven effective, and, in fact, there's some evidence they can make symptoms worse by spurring more immune responses to dying worms. For now, supportive treatment, pain medications, and steroids are typically the only options. https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/09/worm-that-jumps-from-rats-to-slugs-to-human-brains-has-invaded-southeast-us/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter
