Infections from Zika virus could reach pandemic proportions if uncontrolled. possibly infecting a couple of millions especially in Americas where it has infected 23 countries.  Its vector is Aedis Aegypti mosquito (did we not tell you that the animal that kills most people is the mosquito?)





Is symptoms generally includes rashes, reddening of the eyes and fever.  It rarely causes death and has no known cure.

But what makes it so alarming is that it causes microencepaly in infants (small heads) and there are about 4,000 reported in Brazil.  Pres Obama, CDC, and WHO have issued warning regarding Zika virus.  Advisory has been issued for pregnant women not to travel in countries known to have Zika infection

Hiccups Picture

                                   Home Remedies for Hiccups

                                   Hiccups Cure from Medical Daily

I had a colleague who seemed to have uncontrollable hiccups.  He was having difficulty of breathing and was all ready talking incomprehensibly.  So  I I researched and found the following:

1.  Pull out your tongue;

2.  Have a rectal massage

3.  Drink water continuously from a glass with a straw;  or drink through paper towel or handkerchief.  This will force you to draw in your diaphragm which is having nerve problems due to over eating or over drinking

4.  Put sugar at the back of your tongue.

Others

5. Have an orgasm

6.  Bite into a lemon

7  Chew ginger

It it lasts long, you probably would see a doctor and he would probably prescribe anti convulsant drug like Thorazine to end the hiccup episode.
