That’s basically…

(img by Relatyv) When Your Stomach Turns Into a Buzzing Phone At first, I brushed it off. You know that odd vibration in your stomach? Mine felt like a little electric bug zipped across my insides and then…poof, gone. But then it happened again. And again.

Can Water Really Make You Sick? Let’s start with something that might sound a little wild: there’s a bacteria that just loves to hang out in perfectly normal home water—showerheads, hot water tanks, even the pipes leading to that forgotten bathroom you never use. It’s called Legionella, and when you breathe in its mist, it can lead to a pretty gnarly illness known as Legionnaires’ disease. Kind of feels unfair,…

(img by HealthCentral) Sudden Cold? You Want Out, Fast Ever wake up slammed by a cold… but life keeps moving? (Yeah, me too.) You shuffle to the bathroom, eyes barely open, searching for something—anything—to make that pounding in your head stop.
