US government plans to breed millions of flies to combat a pest in Texas
The US government plans to breed and release millions of sterile screwworm flies in Texas and Mexico to combat the re-emergence of the flesh-eating insect. The New World Screwworm lays eggs in the open wounds of warm-blooded animals, including livestock and humans, with the hatched larvae burrowing into flesh and potentially killing the host. The strategy involves breeding flies, irradiating them to induce sterility, and then releasing them so that sterile males mate with wild females, leading to unfertilized eggs and a reduction in the screwworm population. Screwworms were previously thought to have been eradicated in the US by 1966 using a similar sterile insect technique, but have recently re-emerged in Texas following an outbreak in Mexico. To support this new program, a breeding factory will open in southern Mexico next July, followed by a distribution center in southern Texas to manage the release of the sterile Flies.

Are electrolyte drinks good for hydration during the summer?
Hydration multipliers are products added to water to replenish electrolytes lost through sweating, gaining popularity for boosting hydration in hot weather or during exercise. These products facilitate faster hydration than plain water by utilizing sodium and glucose co-transport in the small intestine, which rapidly pulls water and nutrients into cells. Experts suggest using hydration multipliers primarily during extended periods of exercise or following significant heat exposure, especially when plain water might not efficiently restore electrolyte balance. Some hydration multipliers contain high levels of sugar and sodium, which can be harmful for individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes. Excessive intake of electrolytes can lead to adverse effects like weakness, headaches, or muscle cramps, and medical consultation is advised, particularly for those with pre-existing health conditions.
