North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un oversaw drills simulating a tactical nuclear counterattack, including launching a short range ballistic missile (SRBM) that appeared to fire from an underground silo, as a warning to the U.S. and South Korea, state media said Monday. The North fired a missile equipped with a fake nuclear warhead from a buried silo on Sunday amid U.S. and South Korean combined war drills the Kim regime accused of “being frantically scaled up” as preparation for a future invasion, according to state-run media outlet KCNA. Launching the missile from a buried silo demonstrated the North’s ability to dramatically improve the speed and reliability of future intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launches, analysts told Reuters. “The drill also aimed to demonstrate our tougher will to make an actual war response and send a stronger warning to the enemy,” KCNA said, accusing its adversaries of blatantly conducting offensive war drills with the intent to … [Read more...] about North Korea Drills ‘Nuclear Counterattack,’ Appears To Launch Missile From Silo

Scientists have mapped out the protein structure of the dreaded Zika virus as part of an effort to stop it from spreading, according to an Indiana University study. The study mapped proteins in the Zika virus and found them to be very similar in structure to other viruses that cause dengue fever, West Nile, encephalitis and hepatitis C. Researchers then successfully tested several compounds that can combat these diseases and succeed in disrupting the Zika virus’ replication. “Mapping this protein provides us the ability to reproduce a key part of the Zika virus in a lab,” Dr. Cheng Kao, a biochemistry professor at Indiana University, said in a press statement . “This means we can quickly analyze existing drugs and other compounds that can disrupt the spread of the virus. Drugs to target the Zika virus will almost certainly involve this protein.” The research means that drugs approved to treat hepatitis C and other viral diseases can probably also be used to combat the Zika … [Read more...] about Scientists Map Zika Virus And Find Drugs That Can Stop Its Spread

Scientists have discovered that ticks, which emerge during the hot months of summer, are causing allergic reactions to red meat in a number of people. While most people worry about contracting Lyme’s disease after suffering a tick bite, bites from the “lone star” tick can cause other worrisome illnesses, The Washington Times reports . “We often think of ticks as carriers of infectious diseases, such as Lyme disease, but the research strongly suggests that bites from this particular species of tick can lead to this unusual allergy,” said Dr. Melody Carter, who conducted a study on ticks in 2017. The lone star tick is found across the East, Southeast, and Midwest United States, and can cause what experts have dubbed the “Alpha-Gal allergy.” Scientists discovered the allergy after examining a number of patients who had entered into anaphylactic shock roughly six to eight hours after digesting red meat. Upon closer examination, the experts found that all the patients had been … [Read more...] about Lone Star Ticks Are Causing This Weird Meat Allergy
