Don't Overlook This Cancer Risk

🔍 Did you know a tiny parasite could be raising your cancer risk? Schistosomiasis, linked to bladder cancer, might also affect cervical health. 😲 Researchers found infection triggers gene changes that increase cancer vulnerability, even post-treatment.

why you shouldn't put feet on the dash

🚗 Ever put your feet on the dashboard? It might be comfy, but during a crash, it could be life-altering. Airbags deploy at up to 220 mph, making leg injuries severe! Keep your feet down and buckle up correctly. Protect yourself and others! #CarSafety #DriveSmart #StaySafe #Transportation

Saw a phone snatching on BART😨

Riding BART near West Oakland, and someone got their phone snatched right in front of me. The guy struggled for a second, then just let it go. The thief ran off, and I just sat there, heart pounding. Looked around, and it was just me and two other women in the car. If he had tried again… would we even stand a chance? 😬 Helped the victim call 911, and cops showed up about 10 minutes later. Told them what happened, gave a description, and then asked, "What should I do if this happens again?" Their answer? "Nothing you can do." 😵‍💫 So, uh… how do I stay safe? "Pick a crowded car, maybe sit near the front." That’s it. Stay alert out there, y’all. #bart #staysafe

Living in a big city? You’re paying for it—literally

Just saw MoneyGeek’s “15 Safest Cities in America” report, and the numbers hit hard. In 2022, crime cost the average American $2,221, and in cities with over 300K people, that jumped to $3,325—74% more than mid-sized cities. The safest place? Thousand Oaks, CA ($241 per person). The most dangerous? Birmingham, AL ($11,392 per person). It’s wild how much we lose to crime, even if we’re never directly affected. How safe do you feel in your city? #CrimeCosts #UrbanLiving #StaySafe

Warehouse robbery: How safe are we really in LA?

I always thought warehouse thefts were something that happened to "other people," but guess what? It happened to me. Thieves rammed a pickup truck right through the warehouse door – no finesse, just pure force. I called 911, but it felt like a routine check. In the blink of an eye, I lost everything, and it felt like starting over. This has been a major wake-up call. Whether it's your warehouse or home, make sure you're taking proper security measures. In the "City of Angels," even the demons can find their way in. #StaySafe #SecurityMatters

Why That Trail Might Get You Lost Fast

Ever followed a trail in the woods and suddenly realized you’re totally lost? Turns out, you might’ve been on a game trail—paths made by animals, not humans! They look legit but can lead you deep into nowhere (and definitely not back to your car). Watch for uneven, narrow paths with animal tracks. If you get lost, try to retrace your steps and stay calm. Nature’s cool, but stick to marked trails unless you want a wild adventure! #HikingTips #StaySafe #OutdoorLife #News

DMV 'Discounts' Are a Total Scam!

Just saw a wild warning: if you spot a DMV 'discount' for car registration on social media, it’s 100% a scam. Scammers are using fake offers to trick people into giving up their license plate, VIN, and payment info—sometimes through apps like CashApp or Venmo. The DMV says they NEVER do business through social media or offer discounts. Always use the official DMV website for renewals. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Protect your info and double-check those links! #DMVScam #CarRegistration #StaySafe #Cars

What’s Up With ‘Razor Blade Throat’ COVID?

Heard about this new COVID symptom called 'razor blade throat'? People are freaking out, but doctors say it’s not actually new—just a super painful sore throat that’s been around since the start. It’s not a sign of a scarier variant, just another way COVID can make you miserable. Usual advice: get your shots, mask up if you’re high-risk, and don’t forget to hydrate if you get sick. Oh, and maybe skip the party if you’re feeling rough! #COVID19 #HealthUpdate #StaySafe #Health
