My aunt, uncle and cousins have been missing for two days already. We lost contact and haven't been able to talk in the flood. They are from Eldorado do Sul. I just.. I am already think about the worst but have to keep reassuring everybody else

Wait, can you not wear insect repellant when doing eto... ento... bug science? Because you need to collect them and do not want to ward off or prematurely kill your targets? Do you just have to accept the mosquitos?

Entomology is the word ur looking for, and as far as I’m aware, technically you can still wear insect repellent while collecting and it shouldn’t be a big deal

Repellents are primarily made to ward off just mosquitoes, so they aren’t supposed to affect many other bugs (which can be both a pro or a con depending on who you are lol). But permethrin-based repellents, which many are, can affect way more than just mosquitoes - it’s a common component in insecticides for a reason

so it would depend on the repellent and what you’re collecting, I’d imagine

Me personally, I don’t trust like that + don’t like leaving residues even potentially + when I collect I like to maximize my chances (and well. Mosquitos are still bugs I can collect lmao) so I don’t wear bug repellent and I just accept the bites. I can deal with itchy

however where I’m going abroad in a week there’s a lot of mosquito borne diseases that are prevalent (malaria, zika, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya) so There I will most certainly be wearing repellent because I prefer to not suffer and/or potentially die!

Dengue Fever:Symptoms, Causes Management and Treatment

The virus that causes dengue fever is spread through the bite of infected female Aedes mosquitoes, usually Aedes aegypti. With over 390 million infections reported each year, it is a serious worldwide health hazard, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Dengue fever can range in severity from moderate to severe, and in the latter cases it can be fatal.

The Vital Need For Distinguishing Between Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria, And Typhoid Fevers

In the realm of infectious diseases, few challenges are as daunting as distinguishing between fevers with similar symptoms but vastly different treatments and consequences. Dengue, Chikungunya, Malaria, and Typhoid Fevers are four such illnesses that share overlapping symptoms, making accurate diagnosis crucial for appropriate medical intervention. This comprehensive guide will not only help you understand the distinctive features of each of these fevers but also emphasize the importance of distinguishing between them for effective healthcare management.

Everyone knows a family that has lost a child in Zamzam, a camp for hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Sudan’s Darfur region. Hunger and disease have become grim features of daily life, and a child is dying in the camp every two hours, according to the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). “There have been many, I cannot remember them all. The latest died yesterday,” says Laila Ahmed, who lives in the camp with her nine children. Like most of Sudan, Zamzam has had no phone or internet connection for the past two weeks, but the Guardian managed to talk to refugees through a satellite link.They described a desperate situation, with no clean drinking water and little access to medical treatment. Families share meagre food stores. Almost 25% of children are severely malnourished. Dengue fever and malaria are sweeping through the camp. Beyond its perimeters roam militiamen who kidnap or attack women who venture out to collect firewood or grass for their donkeys. Apart from one small distribution in June, no food aid has arrived since fighting erupted across Sudan on 15 April. “I think we are approaching starvation,” says Abdullatif Ali, a father of six. “The people are suffering from malnutrition, disease – many issues.” Zamzam was set up in the mid-2000s in the wake of the genocide in Darfur, carried out by predominately Arab militias called the Janjaweed. Before the current war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which grew from the Janjaweed, a patchwork of international aid agencies provided services to Zamzam, but they abruptly pulled out when the fighting started. Since then, the camp’s population has swelled with new arrivals fleeing fighting farther south. “This is a vast, overpopulated camp that needs a large amount of support, but it has been completely left on its own,” says Emmanuel Berbain, an MSF doctor, who visited recently. “It’s a complete catastrophe, to be honest.”

Hi, can we have an scenario with Fem!Reader and True Noah Tyki form? Like the reader (also his lover) thought that he will hurt or kill her in this form, only to be forced to cuddle with him on floor, while purring in deep and loud voice 🤭

I am so, so sorry about how long it took me to get into writing ಥ‿ಥ Honestly, I was kind of sick when the requests started coming in, I think, I'm not sure of the exact dates but it must been pretty much close to it.

Moral of the story, don't have COVID and dengue altogether, you will suffer.

(Also I wanted to thank those who sent me nice words, I've been wanting to answer since I received them but I was too weak and have been thinking about it since then but just never answer.)

Now, in more optimistic news, I write something! I translated it with the help of ChatGPT, (I write in a pretty bad Span-English most of the time) it was far more quickly than it usually takes me to translate things, and with my very limited English knowledge, I would say is fine, if you notice something's off let me know so I'll never use it again  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Two days passed since the Ark incident. Two days in which Tyki hadn’t awakened. You stayed by his side the entire time, sitting in a chair next to his bed. You hardly slept; he didn't allow you to. Every now and then, you would hear him, and it broke your heart to see him writhing in pain in bed, his moans and groans keeping you alert.

In these two days, you hadn't been able to get rid of the oppression in your chest that’s been overwhelming you since Adam returned to the new Ark with Tyki slung over his shoulder. Your mouth had gone dry, and your stomach churned. You rushed to them, and the Earl told you what had happened in a more optimistic tone than you would have liked to hear at that moment. He left Tyki in your care, fully trusting that you could handle it alone, and then he left, leaving you with the unconscious Noah. Since then, you've stayed by his side, wiping the sweat from his face and managing to feed and give him water.

Road visited you, but you noticed something was off about her. Her movements seemed oddly calculated, her eyes lacked their usual sparkle, her voice was weak, and you were sure her hair color dulled occasionally. You deduced that she hadn't come out of the battle unscathed and was tired, whether much or little. You sent her to recover, and somewhat reluctantly, she obeyed, not without warning you to be careful, the man you were caring for so lovingly might not be your partner. After reminding you to call her or Sheryl in case of an emergency, she left.

A growl brought you back to reality. Tyki was trembling, curled up. You dampened a clean cloth in fresh water and tried to uncover his face, which he kept hidden under the blankets.

"Tyki?" you asked, leaning over him on the bed. "Love?"

The Noah's growls grew louder, and in a movement you didn't fully understand, you fell to the floor along with the chair you had been anchored to for the past two days. The blankets moved as if there were a fight underneath, and you knew what it was.

The tentacles were not new to you; you had seen them before, hours after the Earl returned with Tyki, to be exact. You had already learned not to get too close in those moments. The small cut on your right palm started to bother you—a mark that would stay as a reminder of the first incident, a visible and tangible sign of the lesson learned.

Without standing up, you slowly crawled away from the bed. You sat in the corner near the door in case you needed to leave, and with your eyes fixed on the movement of the sheets, you waited. The growls intensified, the sheets tore, and the tentacles waved, twisted, and abruptly stopped. You could see how the Noah's back slowly straightened. His hair, now long, cascaded from his shoulders, and you couldn't help but shiver. The cold silence of the room chilled your bones. Your trembling fingers tried to grip the wooden floor, scratching it. In a blink, the Noah's figure towering above you.

And you could see his golden eyes. Those eyes you had seen thousands of times before, the same eyes that not long ago looked at you with the love and tenderness of the most devoted lover, now stared at you coldly and expressionlessly. This wasn’t Tyki.

You automatically understood the situation. You scanned the room frantically with your gaze, looking for Lero, but he wasn't there. Your breath caught, your heart stopped, and you bit your lips to stifle the small sob that fear had left in your throat.

You slipped a hand under the skirt of your dress; you had some talismans hidden in your stockings for emergencies, thinking, you could stop Joyd long enough to find Lero and improvise from there.

With a rough shove, the Noah pulled you from the corner and dragged you to the carpet in the center of the room while you took out the talismans and hid them in your sleeve. Before you could even remember the spell to use them, Joyd straddled you, a predatory smile on his lips and a sadistic gleam in his eyes. He leaned closer, buried his face in the crook of your neck, and inhaled deeply. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. You could see his posture relax, starting with the muscles in his shoulders followed by his back. He rested his forehead on your shoulder and slid his arms around your waist, hugging you tightly and nuzzling into your chest.

You waited for him to do something else, but that something never came.

"Tyki?" you asked again. Your shoulders tensed involuntarily when you heard him growl. "Joyd!" you corrected yourself immediately. "Joyd, Joyd," you repeated. "I'm sorry."

He nuzzled against you a bit more, and you couldn't help but giggle. Moved by tenderness, you hugged him back, and you could swear he started to purr.

It wasn't Tyki who controlled the body, but it was his body, and you remembered this when moved by instinct, you planted a soft kiss on his forehead before cuddling him to your chest. His body was so familiar that touching it felt easy, natural, right.

You stayed embraced for a while, the tik-tok of the clock and the loud growls of Joyd lured you to rest until he lifted his face slightly, just enough for your eyes to meet. And there it was. They were still the same golden eyes but now shone with an affection you knew by heart.

"Name?" Tyki asked in a husky voice. His eyes were half-closed, like someone who had just woken up.

"Yes?" you whispered, holding his gaze, your voice a fragile and warm murmur. A sound that felt comforting in the cold silence of the dark room.

He buried his face in your chest again. "Nothing," he sighed. He was too tired and in too much pain to think. The warmth and comfort of your embrace kept him sleepy and calm.

You slid a hand through his hair, lulling him, while the other traced circles on his back.

"I'm glad to hear you again."

Mira Kim with Yor Forger reader

Dengue fever's gone now.

• You guys met through her friends. She noticed how aloof and shy you are when interacting with others and assumed that you felt uncomfortable, so she always makes sure to talk to you in a calm way unlike Zoe, who constantly talks and changes topics that you aren't familiar of or too slow catching up on.

• During lunchtime in the cafeteria, they're just talking about about homework, guys they have a crush on, social media shit. Until they brought up the subject of appearances...

Millie: "Thank god lunchtime started before that creepy teacher said something. He gave me weird stares this morning."

Sharon: "That's because you insisted on wearing that short skirt."

Millie: "I can't help it! If it makes my boyfriend happy!"

Zoe: "Ooh, so your boyfriend is into those kind of things~"

Mira: "Girls, stop that. We're in front of the table! People are trying to eat here."

Camilla: "Calm down, Mira. We're just talking about what we like to wear. Besides, style is important for attending the Fashion Department. Oh, that reminds me... What kind of style are you into, Yor?"

Yor: "Huh? Umm, not much. But I guess proper long-skirt dresses with darker colors?"

Zoe: "Whaaat? Are you like, into goth-like style? That's unexpected of you, Yor~"

Millie: "Zoe's right! You should show off your legs more."

Mira: "Millie! Zoe!"

Sharon: "That's pretty inappropriate, don't you think?"

Camilla: "That's okay. I mean, Yor certainly doesn't care about appearances. That's incredibly bold of her. Leave her on that topic, it's her choice."

Millie: "Shame~ She has a nice face and body, yet she she's not proud of it."

Zoe: "Yeah! I'm sure that guys will like her more if she--"

Mira: "You guys stop! You're making her uncomfortable..."

Yor: "No. It's alright, Miss Kim, I'm fine..."

• After lunchtime, you immediately make a beeline straight to your classroom but Mira stops you before she enters her classroom...

Mira: "Hey... I'm sorry the girls are this way. I already told them off that it's a bad impression on you since you are a transferee. I'm so sorry! I hope you'll give them another chance?"

Yor: "O-Oh!... Of course, Miss Kim."

Mira: "Call me Mira. Good luck in your department!"

Yor: "Of course, Mira. I'll do my best!"

• You two became friends fast. She introduced you to Zack but he's more annoyed than pleased since you've been stealing Mira's attention away from him. Mira took notice of Zack's hostility towards you and scolded him. She decided to plan a hang out for the three of you at a café near the school. Unfortunately, one of Zack's enemies overheard the conversation.

• You've never been in a trendy café before, or any type of restaurant in Seoul. Only preferring to shop and make food in your house. You three managed to reserve a table. As you sat down next to Mira, she began noticing how fidgety you are and searched inside her bag if she brought earphones for you to listen to and ignore the packed establishment.

Mira: "Hmmm... let's see if I brought earphones..."

Yor: "O-Oh! It's alright, Miss Kim-- I mean, Mira... um, look! Zack's coming here--"

• As soon as you see Zack coming with a tray of food and drinks, a hooded stranger with a face mask bumped into him--

Zack: "HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING ASSHOLE! YOU ALMOST SPILLED MY DRINKS!"

???: "Fuck you, man."

Zack: "WHY YOU LITTLE PIECE OF--"

• Zack was about to throw the first punch when he remembered his promise to Mira. So he restrained himself and returned to your table. Mira was too distracted because she was looking up her music playlist on her phone while talking to you. You, on the other hand, witnessed everything.

Zack: "Alright, food's here."

Mira: "Yay! Thanks, Zack. Let's dig in, Yor."

Yor: "W-W-WAIT!"

• You interrupted before Zack takes a sip from his coffee. You try to find an excuse as Zack gives you an impatient stare.

Yor: "We... must pray first!"

Zack: "...Are you serious--"

Mira: "You're right, let's pray!"

Zack: "Okay."

• While they close their eyes and kept praying, you quickly snatched Zack's coffee and replace it with yours. You placed his coffee near you. That hooded stranger spiked his coffee when he bumped into Zack and he didn't notice--

Mira: "Amen."

Zack: "Amen."

Yor: "A-amen."

• You made an excuse of going to the bathroom while hiding the spiked coffee behind you. You poured the drink into the toilet bowl and flushed the evidence. You made sure to kill the stranger later-- NO! no, control your bloodlust! Your friends are here for goodness sake! You came back to the table and continued eating.

• The afternoon went without a hitch. Just a feeling that someone is watching you. So when Mira offered you to stroll through the park (much to Zack's dismay), you politely declined, making up an excuse of going home early for an errand (much to Zack's delight). You bowed to them goodbye at the café's exit.

• You see the hooded stranger started to follow the couple and immediately dragged him into the alleyway.

???: "HEY! WHAT THE HELL'S YOUR PROBLEM?!"

Yor: "I'm sorry but I mustn't let you leave..."

???: "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME BITCH-- ACK!!!

YOR JABS THEIR NECK

• The stranger fell unconscious to the ground. You search the strangers pockets and found a packet of pills. From the looks of it, emetics. You waited until it became dark, dragged the body to a nearby police station and left a note.

• Soon, news reached the school that a student is arrested for possession of illegal drugs. Zack was surprised that the arrested student is actually one of his enemies and he loudly express his gladness that he won't be seeing the retard's face for a while. Mira smacked him on the head for that.

Love is Deaf

From birdsong to love songs, sound can play an important role in any romance. In some species removing that ingredient can even stop a relationship in its tracks, according to researchers investigating the impact of deafness in mating of disease-carrying mosquitoes. A study examined neurons (brain cells) that express a particular gene essential for hearing in the dengue- and zika-transmitting Aedes aegypti mosquito. The neurons (shown in green) protrude into the brain's auditory centre (pictured), and help transmit sound-induced movement from the antenna. When the gene was silenced, rendering the mosquitoes deaf, males were unable to mate at all, failing to modulate their patterns of wingbeats in sync with females as they normally would during mating. Hearing is therefore not just important, but essential, to mosquito reproduction, which could present a new route to population management and attempts to slow the spread of deadly diseases.

Jack knew his luck would eventually run out and he'd end up captured by the Royal Navy -- it wouldn't be the first time it happened to him. He always managed to escape somehow; however it did not seem to be the case this time. He had a headache and felt weak, signs of a tropical illness creeping up on him.

Soon, he had found himself throwing up into the bucket in his cell, with fever and muscle aches setting in. He knew what it was. Dengue fever.

,,Fuck," he muttered weakly, wiping his mouth with his shirt sleeve. This was bad. This was very bad.

How on earth is he going to escape now, when he couldn't even think straight?
