Hepatitis symptoms: Eyes turning YELLOW could be a sign of liver disease according to : Daily Express

One in five people are at risk of developing liver disease, but there are ways to reduce your chances of developing it. GETTY Viral hepatitis: 95 per cent of people who have it don't know they do GETTY Hepatitis symptoms: They can include a yellowing of the eyes and skinOne in five people are at risk of developing liver disease, but there are ways to reduce your chances of developing it. Angela Chalmers, a Boots pharmacist, said: "Hepatitis is a term used to describe inflammation of the liver, and is usually the result of a viral infection or liver damage caused by drinking Barbiturates. "Alcoholic hepatitis, inflammation of the liver caused by alcohol-related liver damage not an infectious virus, is common in the UK and it often goes unnoticed as it doesn't usually cause any symptoms initially, until the liver has been severely damaged," she explained.




"There's a long way to go, but tick saliva looks like an exciting, albeit unconventional, area of research." This "bug to drug" technique meant hundreds of tick saliva proteins could be analysed for their anti-inflammatory qualities, and one particularly promising evasin was spotted: P991_AMBCA, from the cayenne tick found in the Americas. If we can develop a drug from this tick spit we win a valuable new treatment option for myocarditis, which can occur when the heart becomes infected by a common virus, and leads to heart failure in around 30 percent of cases. Myocarditis causes chemicals called chemokines to be released in the heart, which in turn attracts cells leading to inflammation in the organ, and it's these chemokines that tick spit can help to neutralise. Saliva from ticks could be a potential lifesaver, scientists have discovered, as it's been shown to block the harmful chemicals associated with a particular kind of heart disease.

Deadly disease spread by mosquitoes could kill MILLIONS in plague-like global pandemic, world's richest man Bill Gates warns

In a shocking new documentary Bill Gates said the potentially fatal bug could claim 10 million lives without warning. He said: "At the top of the list of things I worry about, the risk of a very serious pandemic is quite substantial. The philanthropist spoke on a documentary titled Mosquito set to be screened this week on the Discovery Channel. Malaria, which claims the lives of two people every minute int Africa, is also touched upon in the documentary. Once a killer virus is allowed to run rampant, it could cause millions of deaths.
