Learn the signs:

F - Facial drooping?

A - Arm weakness?

S - Slurred speech?

T - Time to call 9-1-1. With stroke, every second counts. Take the signs seriously. And, eat something; you're skin and bones!

The first letter in each word of the list is highlighted and spells out FAST - the acronym that helps you to remember the signs of a stroke.

One common usage is to make local anesthetic more effective during surgery, for instance. It's used in a number of injected medications.

Bee stings contain an enzyme very similar to this medication, so sometimes, people with bee allergies have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

This is called cross-reactivity, where your body mistakes something for the thing it's actually allergic to, and has an allergic reaction anyway. For instance, sometimes people with latex allergies also are allergic to bananas and other fruits. They don't actually contain latex, but there are some similar proteins.

Apparently, hyraluronidase used in humans is derived from one of four sources: sheep testicles, cow testicles, cow testicles again, and GMO hamster ovaries.

And I fucking love learning new things like that because suddenly I understand all the umbrella imagery in manga and anime and how it can tell a whole story depending on who is holding it, how it’s being held and how they’re reacting to it.

Guys you would not believe how much old crap we got in Europe. In Leeds I walked by an old church that had been turned into a nightclub every day and in Denmark I once went to a McDonalds that had a glass window in the floor where you could see old ruins underneath.

We are way too many people living in a place where countries and cultures have come and gone over thousands of years and yeah we think it’s cool when we find some of our old stuff we forgot about so we want to preserve it in some way but we also want to make new things so we have to work around it.

Like look at this! This is from the biggest city near me, Odense.

They build a new shiny building around an old ruin! The thing behind it is a grocery store! That’s just what you gotta do in this part of the world.
