Five diseases that are, thankfully, consigned to the past | Richard Sugg :: Richard III's roundworm was just one of the gruesome diseases that killed and maimed the British population through the agesThe news that Richard III suffered from roundworm reminds us how grateful we should be for the advances of modern sanitation and medicine. In both Richard's era and long after, rich and poor were horribly vulnerable to diseases that either killed you efficiently or made you wish you were dead.1. Sweating sicknessIf Richard had not died at Bosworth field in 1485, he might well have been struck down by this malady. First recorded in Shrewsbury in mid-April 1485, this terrifying new disease had reached London by 7 July. The sweating sickness resembled the more recent Ebola virus in its terrifying speed. It was to return to Britain in 1508, 1517, 1528, and 1551, and in 15...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Buzzfeeds: the effects of colony collapse disorder and other bee news :: Concerned about the worldwide bee crisis? Introducing Buzzfeeds, a weekly analysis with our resident bee expertIn the past six years, more than 10m beehives have been wiped out from a mystery disease called colony collapse disorder.

To bring awareness to these stories and contextualize the issues, we wil...

But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:&bull; Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).&bull; E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...
