For people handling dead bodies (rescue workers, mortuary workers, etc.), there is a risk if the deceased are infected with highly infectious disease (such as Ebola, Lassa fever, cholera). The infectious agents responsible for these diseases last for varying periods after death. The internal organs that harbour organisms such as tuberculosis, which can survive for very long periods after a person’s death, are usually handled only by trained personnel during an actual autopsy. This is not part of any procedure described in this manual. Processes to support persons handling the dead should be in place to deal with any psychological impacts arising from their work.

Unbelievable benefits of losing weight
ReplyDeleteThere are other health advantages to losing weight as well, despite what some individuals may believe. Many people have struggled with body image and self-esteem for years as they have battled their weight and societal stigmas. A person's risk of acquiring heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and other chronic conditions increases if they are overweight or obese. It is possible to reduce these risks by decreasing weight. Additionally, shedding pounds can help with mood enhancement, energy augmentation, and better sleep.
