"WHEN THE CROW FEELS SICK… IT LOOKS FOR ANTS
Just as you read. When a crow feels unwell, it perches near an ant nest, spreads its wings, stays still, and lets the ants attack it.
They do it for a powerful reason: ants spray its body with formic acid, a substance that acts as a natural antiparasitic. This acid helps the crow eliminate fungi, bacteria, and parasites, allowing it to recover without the need for medicine.
This behavior is called “anting” and has been observed in various bird species. It’s an incredible example of animal self-medication.
Nature never ceases to amaze us with its silent wisdom!" #Nature

"Tattoos are more popular than ever. For many, they’re a form of self-expression, identity, or art. But new research suggests they may also carry a hidden risk...one that lives under your skin and could silently raise your risk of cancer.
A blockbuster 2025 study from Denmark followed over 2,300 twins to ask a simple but critical question: Does tattoo ink increase the risk of cancer? The answer was both surprising and sobering.
Researchers tracked cancer outcomes in twins with nearly identical genetics and shared environments. This allowed them to isolate tattoo exposure as a possible cause of disease.
Skin cancer was 62% more common in tattooed individuals.
Among people with large tattoos (bigger than the palm of a hand), the risk of skin cancer more than doubled.
The risk of lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, was nearly three times higher in those with large tattoos.
Basal cell carcinoma, one of the most common skin cancers, was almost three times more likely in tattooed individuals.
These findings weren’t based on guesses or assumptions. They came from a carefully designed twin study, one of the strongest ways to control for confounding factors like genes, lifestyle, and environment.
Tattoo ink isn’t just a cosmetic pigment. It’s a complex mix of chemicals that can:
Migrate from the skin into lymph nodes and possibly other organs
Trigger long-term inflammation, disrupting the immune system
Include known or suspected carcinogens, such as:
Carbon black (classified as possibly carcinogenic by the WHO)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) like benzo[a]pyrene, a toxic compound also found in cigarette smoke and diesel fumes
Azo dyes in colored inks, which can break down into harmful substances with sun exposure or laser removal
Even after tattoo removal, smaller pigment fragments may circulate more easily in the body, raising additional questions about long-term safety.
This research doesn’t mean everyone with a tattoo will develop cancer. But it does mean that the risk is real and potentially serious, especially with larger tattoos.
Tattoos are permanent, but so may be the health risks they carry.
This new research suggests tattoo ink may not just be decorative. It could be a slow, silent risk factor for cancer."

DON'T STARVE IN THE WILD! These 10 North American Plants Could Save Your Life in a Survival Situation...
When you're in a survival situation, knowing which plants you can forage can mean the difference between life and death. Here are 10 life-saving plants commonly found in the USA that you can eat to survive:
1. Dandelions 🌼
These common weeds are edible from root to flower. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, the flowers can be used in teas or salads, and the roots can be roasted as a coffee substitute.
2. Cattails 🌾
Cattails are often found near water sources. The young shoots can be eaten raw or cooked, the roots can be ground into flour, and the pollen can be used as a thickening agent in soups and stews.
3. Wild Garlic 🧄
Easily recognizable by its strong garlic smell, wild garlic can be used just like regular garlic. The bulbs and leaves are both edible and add a flavorful punch to your meals.
4. Clover ☘️
Both red and white clover are edible. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, and the flowers can be dried and used to make a nutritious tea.
5. Chickweed 🌿
This small, green plant is packed with nutrients. Chickweed can be eaten raw in salads or cooked as a leafy green. It's a great source of vitamins and minerals.
6. Purslane 🌱
Purslane is a succulent that grows low to the ground. It's high in omega-3 fatty acids and can be eaten raw or cooked. Its slightly sour taste adds a nice zing to salads.
7. Plantain 🍃
Not to be confused with the banana-like fruit, this plant is often found in lawns and gardens. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and are known for their medicinal properties.
8. Wild Strawberries 🍓
Wild strawberries are smaller than their cultivated counterparts but are just as delicious. They are usually found in sunny, grassy areas and are a delightful treat in the wild.
9. Burdock 🥕
Burdock roots are edible and can be cooked like carrots. This plant is often found in disturbed soils and can provide a substantial source of nutrition in a survival situation.
10. Acorns 🌰
Found under oak trees, acorns can be a valuable food source. They need to be leached of their tannins by soaking in water before they are safe to eat, but they can then be ground into flour or eaten as nuts.
Knowing these plants and how to prepare them can help you survive in the wild. Always make sure to positively identify any plant before consuming it to avoid poisonous look-alikes. It's a good idea to always carry a portable or wallet-sized full-color foraging guide so you know what's safe to eat if you should find yourself in this situation. Stay safe and forage wisely!
