In 1878-born legend



Wet hair causes the common cold? Myth and reality!

This year the French chemist Louis Pasteur decided to have a little free time sunny afternoon, and decided to examine how it affects cold chicken which was anthrax. Despite fears that try to do this experiment at home you will lack to you how it was made.

It has been blessed of the chickens roost and subjected to anthrax bacteria. Anthrax is a disease of humans and animals, and also used as a biological weapon in war. After exposure to anthrax, immersion foot chickens in ice water to see how it will affect their chances of survival after exposure to anthrax.

Already infected hens anthrax and died. Then Louis Pasteur decided to do another experiment with the rest of the chickens, but this time did not spread the girl with ice water immersion. Instead, he wound them with a warm blanket and whew-stayed alive.

Wet hair doesn't cause colds, as well as go out without a coat

After several hundred years-20th century scientists discovered the Germans during the first world war, soldiers who were sleeping in the cold and wet ditches were more than 4 times that of their colleagues who been covered with a blanket.

It seems that some mothers of that period they were introduced on the discovery of German scientists, they decided that what is good for the hardened soldiers certainly would not be good for small children and they decided not to let them out with wet hair.

You wonder with all this what causes the common cold?

Colds are caused by viruses. And the exposure and contact with infected with colds. More than 200 different viruses can cause colds. But the most important is the dominant virus "Renault-virus (rhinovirus). When sneezing or coughing near you and doesn't cover his mouth, small droplets containing the virus fly directly toward you. The virus can also be found in public places such as toilets, sinks and other surfaces. Which means that you can be infected even if it was also said: something carries little virus.

Cold air in the winter-which is less moisture than hot air in summer can drain the mucous lining in the nasal channels which makes it easier for the virus to enter the body and cause infection. Therefore, colds occur more in the winter.

Mental illness can affect anyone, regardless of age, their race, their religion or their social class. These diseases are not the result of any personal weakness, lack of character or of indiscipline. The important thing is to know that these diseases are treatable. Therefore the majority of people suffering from a serious mental illness can experience a big improvement if they actively participating in an individual treatment plan.

Along with the medical procedure, the treatment psycho-social, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, support groups and other services in the community can be part of the treatment and facilitate recovery. In addition, a balanced diet, physical exercise, adequate rest, interpersonal relationships and paid or voluntary activities contribute the health and overall well-being, including recovery from mental illness.

Some important facts about mental illness and recovery are as follows:

Mental illnesses are physical disorders which depend neither the personality nor the intelligence of the individual, that require professional treatment that can not be overcome only with the 'will'.
Mental disorders have different levels of severity. Although anyone can get them, only six percent of the population suffers from a mental illness; that is, one in seventeen Americans suffers from serious mental illness. On the other hand, it is estimated that one of every five families in the United States is affected by mental illness.

Identification and treatment early are of vital importance.Diagnosis and treatment early will achieve that recovery is faster and that the damage is minor.
The stigma that society gives to mental illness does not believe that these disorders are a real and treatable condition. He has been allowed to stigma and an unjustifiable sense of interfere with the treatment and recovery. It's time to remove these barriers.
