A U.S. high school student discovered that oregano oil killed 100% of bacteria in laboratory tests—performing better than the widely used antibiotic amoxicillin under the same conditions. The study focused on oregano oil’s active compound, carvacrol, which damages bacterial cell membranes and disrupts vital functions. Unlike antibiotics that target specific pathways, carvacrol attacks bacteria in multiple ways. Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health crisis, with many bacteria evolving resistance to conventional drugs. Natural compounds like oregano oil are being studied as complementary or alternative treatments. Researchers caution that lab results do not automatically translate to safe medical use. Dosage, toxicity, and delivery methods must be rigorously tested before human application. Nevertheless, scientists say such findings highlight the untapped potential of plant-based antimicrobials and the valuable role young researchers can play in scientific discovery. #UnboxFactory #MedicalScience #AntibioticResistance #YoungInnovators #Health #facebookrepost

Surprise baby: No bump, no clue, just labor!

Imagine heading to the ER for stomach pain and leaving with a newborn! That’s exactly what happened to Keionna Dickerson from Milan, Tennessee.

A Mom’s Fight Against Childhood Dementia

Imagine thinking your child has autism for years, only to find out it’s actually childhood dementia.

Medicare’s Sneaky Hospital Status Trap

Ever heard of the “Observation Status” hospital loophole? It’s costing seniors thousands! You can be in a hospital bed for days, but if you’re not officially “admitted,” Medicare won’t pay for your rehab after. Hospitals use tricks like clock manipulation, delayed paperwork, and “virtual” observation to keep you in coverage limbo. If you or your parents are ever hospitalized, double-check your status ASAP—otherwise, you could be stuck with a massive bill. Anyone else’s family get burned by this? #Health #BodyHealth #Medicare

SNAP Rule Change Drama: Grocers Push Back

US grocers are stressing over new SNAP restrictions rolling out in several states, which ban things like candy and soda from being bought with food aid. The USDA says stores have 90 days to comply, but grocers want more time and clearer rules, warning that minor mistakes could get them kicked out of the program. They’re asking for a six-month grace period and more guidance before facing penalties. This could get messy for shoppers and stores! #Health #BodyHealth #SNAP

Female Psychopaths Aren’t What You Think

Turns out, female psychopaths in prison process emotions way differently than the classic “fearless manipulator” stereotype. New research found they actually feel less in control when seeing disturbing images, and may emotionally shut down as a defense. They’re less fazed by graphic scenes, but get more worked up by threats to their own freedom (like jail pics). It’s not about being cold—it’s about protecting themselves from emotional overload. This could totally change how we approach rehab for women in the justice system. #Health #MentalHealth #psychology
