Fun fact: The first Indian doctor in the US, Dr. Anandibai Joshi, was a woman who earned her degree in 1886. Today, we continue that legacy—Indian physicians make up about 10% of all US doctors- bridging cultures in a white coat.

Legionnaires’ disease can lurk in building water systems. Learn how it spreads via tiny droplets and the steps to stop it—especially around cooling towers. Are your safeguards in place? #CoolingTowers #Legionella #LegionnairesDisease #NYCHealth #PublicHealth

How Legionnaires’ Disease Spreads and How to Prevent It

Legionnaires’ disease spreads when people inhale tiny water droplets that contain Legionella bacteria, most often from large water systems such as cooling towers, hot tubs, and spray fountains. In neighborhood clusters like Harlem, the source is typically a contaminated cooling tower that releases mist into the surrounding area, not person-to-person spread and not the cooled air from home air conditioners. Prevention focuses on finding and disinfecting the source, maintaining water systems properly, and avoiding visible mist until health officials declare the area safe.

A question about fentanyl testing. You can test residue or a sample, but best practice involves testing the entire amount of what you plan on taking, which involves dissolving it in water.

Unstated in the video - how do you take the drugs afterwards? Do you just drink it? Strain it and dry it out?
