is to implement the racist revolution since the tune of the industrial age, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world. is this really possible documentary renewables revenue jobs november 25th on d w the this week d w 's health show is all about batteries and village. no, i don't mean difficult neighbors. cranky, co workers or corporate sharks. we're talking pathogens, bacteria, funky and viruses. as to these events, they found out they can take you by surprise. welcome to in good shape. the

. the 1st thing that teresa betsel noticed with the red spot on the forehead that was slightly sole. the biology student thought you might have accidentally splashed some chemicals on test scan during the lab internship, or maybe it was a scrape and a single be kind of burned a bit and also hurt when i touched it. and then blisters also formed on the spot that burned even more by sunday, and after a while my forehead started to feel nothing. come then stopped. my forehead was very sensitive to touch. it tingled slightly google's and since they settled like a cupboard symptoms became more, most of the of the skin clinic. the 23 year old discovered she had shingles. this is a follow up visit. she still suffers from intermittent pain and other symptoms. the student had always thought that shingles was something you really got when you were

all last month too much of folk took me some advice. it was quite a shock at 1st. i didn't expect it was perplexed and yeah, and i wondered where it came from. come to see if you've had chicken pox, then you have a chance of getting shingles after chicken pokes infection. the virus cell is also the virus remains dormant in your body. and then the for each of the spinal cord decades later, the virus can be reactivated and travel alone, your nerve press waste, your skin shingles can appear on your head, back optimum or other places on your body guns. so if he gets a very common disease, i say 2 or 3 patients here every day where you really severe singles who require inpatient treatment and go to the whole cube house look and lead times of it. so when to the doctor quickly and her condition was diagnosed right away with treatment with antiviral drugs, which tablets well,

sometimes infusions is the best way to tackle it. switching it is just not moving. the important thing is to start the treatment as soon as possible. the timeframe is 48 hours after the onset of a skin changes. anything that starts leader is still useful but may not be as effective. if shingles is treated too late, there's a risk of permanent impairment. the nerves, the virus travels alone, can be seriously damaged. and patients can develop what's called post have petrik urologist or p h n. thorsten yan develop that communication. it's been a yes since he got shingles. it started when we can 1st severe pain then placed his on his neck and face, bending, itching, stinging on the pain, has still not gone away. just shooting. and that's when, if, if you aisles as if it's not your own skin would lead like you're covered with

leather, can very strange feelings i can hold as when it hits. so when i shave my neck here, if i just don't feel it. yeah. it's non just covers cult tossing young was diagnosed 4 days later by his family doctor. and then he was treated with antiviral tablets. he was also given strong painkillers, which he still taking because the consequences can be grave. don't as world wide advise older people to be backs in a to the can. shingles. a vaccine has been available for several years and the results of generally being very positive efforts. the inter protection provided by vaccination is over 80 percent, or there's often even over 90 percent probability that you won't develop shingles. of course vaccination also has potential side effects like local reactions on the upper arm at the injection side. but they're usually short and mild and minimal. if

you compare them with shingles, was it door to shade? charleston yonce is also decided to get vaccinated as much as i don't want. i don't want to get that again. so for me, the question of whether or not to get vaccinated is already decided. i definitely, well during the global correction of our son, demick vaccination took center stage. it can protect us from some dangerous infections . the w h o recommends guessing immunized against syria, pets, enough. measles who live for example, but worldwide the number of boxes and make the children is pulling 25000000 kids a currently not protected against it. syria testing us and hooping coal in countries that include india, nigeria and indonesia. reasons include violent conflicts, misinformation, and the problem that makes interruption of existing vaccine programs. vaccination

is also recommended against hepatitis which a text and liver and kills form is one and a half 1000000 people every year. there were different forms of it. vaccination is available against types, a and b. you can also take other preventive measures that hepatitis a virus likes to run riot on food that's not been thoroughly washed. and the thrives and unclean tap water that can make us humans seriously sick. if i practice a, as in fact as liver disease, which of course present part of a virus uses on specific symptoms, not at all patients. but in those who have symptoms, john, this lots of epic tied tire. and this weakness, joint pains,

are the most common symptoms. and where is this virus most prevalent? people in parts of asia, africa, southern europe, and then south and central america are particularly at risk. the good news is that 99 percent of hepatitis a cases heal on their own without any permanent damage to the liver and infection results and lifelong immunity to the pathogen. hepatitis b and c viruses are much more dangerous. infections with them can also he along their own, but can turn in chronic to if preparatory is b and c is chronic and not properly treated, it might cost different zeros as infectious cancer. on the worst case that in most cases it's transmitted somehow over the blocks either by sexual intercourse. or for example by to to a wendy hygiene is not good enough. in particular, also blocks are transmitted into this kid off the recipient. vaccination can

protect you from hepatitis b, it's recommended for all those who frequently have sex with different partners for chronically ill or work in hospitals. ask about hygiene measures before getting medical or certain types of cosmetic treatment. so we're hepatitis a is common, don't drink the tap water and always wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. then hepatitis in any of its forms 11 much tougher time of it. the diseases can also be carried or caused by parasites like fleas, lice, or tape warns. and there are other organisms that can cause health issues to function. they usually colonize our skin, preferably our feet, or are private parts. and excessive scrubbing tends to make the skin even more vulnerable to fungal infection. anti funding appointments can help wearing loose clothing keeps affected areas as dry as possible. and remember to wash your laundry

. at 60 degrees celsius, we can usually get rid of fungal infections that affect our skin. but when they get inside us like into our lungs, they can turn serious. it's a growing problem worldwide. as the dealers to me go to is a mode that can cause lung damage come to or is an emergency that causes blood poisoning. will trip to congress now 4 months, which can invade the central nervous system. such fungal infections are of great concern to the expense around the world. that fits will be in the fact that we paid to little attention to funky means for examples that there are very few drugs to counter infections because one doesn't. and that's a problem. if fungal infections become more common, as they are at the moment, then we have few weapons to fight them this way. and we'll be in a good lesson that the items it's increasingly doctors are seeing infections with

asp. ajilisus, who me got to us for healthy people, the fungus is usually homeless. however, in those with weak immune systems or for us must suffer as it spoils, can cause inflammation in the loans. however, the doctors often don't consider funky as a possible cause of symptoms, especially with patients who have asthma and suffer from costs any way. the mucus build up revealed and it won't cost could be, can be examined in the lap together with blood samples for evidence of mold isn't much say in this mature your, you find the spores, if you find the asper jealous, this mold, and then you look at the blood coop and then you find anti bodies against molar and discover games. you do a skin test and test for antibodies against mold. so you arrive at the diagnosis of severe asthma with allergic bronco. pulmonary asper jalissa is speaking,

that's an immune system reaction to the phone, go spose, and it's one that leads to inflammation in the lungs. an extreme mucus production us with a list of logs, antifungal, drugs and quote to so we can help the results of a new drug that can arrest the immune response. fortune of the search fungal infections arrest, but the difficult to detect unless you look for them specifically the same is true for a new fungus that can make people ill. the east candid or is the pathogen was 1st detected in 2009, and it's unclear where it originated. officer is discovery in japan, canada to orest, the paid symbol tenuously in various other countries. last year that we're moving 5000 cases in the united states. it also continues to spread worldwide. this is another highly resistant to drugs come in and unusually for

a fungus. and it's one that can spread relatively efficiently from the patient. the patient it's endorsed by some patients, develop severe infections are difficult in the treatment and they can go on for months. i. so that's a bit of a horror scenario seen as just as some vision and host and value of the unusual thing. candid or is, can infect other people through contact infections. that's why the fungus can spread quickly. for example, in hospitals there's only one drug that's effective against it, new pathogenic funky being found all the time. this is the theme of album it's getting warmer and warmer. who's the couldn't find you, you can spread to regions where they were unknown before and then as a result of the more dangerous, as long as you continue to spread, severe fungal infection still only happen in isolated cases, the research as well. and that we urgently need to develop new anti fungal drugs. good hygiene is one way of to be infections of pain in hospitals. for example,

people are in for health and particularly at risk st cleaning regimes and this inspections reduce levels of potentially states for viruses and bacteria. hygiene like regular hand washing also protects us in everyday life. our think is go everywhere and then we touch all faces. so what child usually about why has been wearing contact lenses for over 10 years. it's almost a miracle that you can still see in 2019. she came close to going blind in one i. she had developed kara titus corneal information that was caused by her contact lenses and involves if i didn't know how dangerous such an infection can be. oh, so in that infect humans i can come. she had several operations. cordial transplants due to kira titus are performed regularly and center is like the university hospital in unit dominic, this is really not to be taken lightly. unfortunately, sometimes things take

a catastrophic turn and then not just with the corneal transplant, but with complete vision loss for those to see costing kara tide as is rare. but contact lens, where's our 80 times more likely to get it then others, many underestimate the risk. the cornea plays a decisive role in the refraction of light and therefore envision. it has no blood vessels, but lots of nerves and consists of 5 layers. the top one, the epa de leon, is kept moist by to your fluid. it protects against bacteria and 4 and particles and membrane separated from the strong. the sickest layer, which is made mostly of water. another membrane covers the bottom layer. the endothelial which pumps water out of the cornea to keep it transparent. catchy door has also been using contact lenses every day for about 30 years. she knows the risks of cara titus. hygiene is my top priority, and when i searching moving and wearing lenses because i'm afraid of eye infection

. so bacteria getting into the alien and then i wouldn't be able to wear them any miller smith coggan con. she has regular eye examinations and her doctor has told her to seek treatment quickly if worst comes to worst. a slice deforming lessons is mild form is going to be treated in a few days. with moisturizing eye drops to contain antibiotics. severe forms with alterations, sometimes require therapies, lasting weeks and months. and sometimes a defect remains that can impair the patients vision is to control. the risk of corneal inflammation can quickly rise to the longer you are contact lenses throughout the day without a break. and the higher the risk, especially with soft lenses in cottage door, is careful to always take i breaks is how i make sure that i don't have them for more than 12 hours. maximum of i never leave them in at night and then not unless it working at the computer, she prefers to use her classes. monument is usually less that the computer and then

it sometimes i'm pleasant because your eyes drawing outside. sometimes i don't put my lines in the tool and then i get the feeling that my eyes are great for the open for english. and when applying makeup, make sure you put the contact lenses in 1st and then you make up points is done shrink. when she removes that, she does things the other way around. coffee door also, where's contact lenses that are renewed every month. so called soft monthly lenses . hot contract ends as a backup of the i. i tried them, but i couldn't tolerate them. so use of contact lenses. now i'm talking to judy about where's hard contact lenses? since having her cordial transplant, she has to have a checkup every 6 months. the extra large literal lenses offer optimal protection and a special feature issue between the contract lens and the surface of the i is a tiny reservoir of tis a reservoir, about the official to yes, i can see a little bit here. does the opposition have any advice about avoiding care?

a titus risk? it's important to use high quality contact lenses if it's above. oh, it's important that those contact lenses fit properly. that means i of so have a specialist who looks at the eyes every now and then the lens and corny, i should never touch. it's very important. they should remain the correct distance of part 100 and to mike for me to is perfect checked us. even switching from daily to monthly lenses without advice can be dangerous, usually about well, i used daily lenses until she graduated from high school. after that, she went traveling many, i switched to monthly lenses, so i wouldn't have to take a chance back back full of lens is abroad with me. and with me run some lesson. but even the smallest hygiene deficiencies can have serious consequences. the dream trip turned into a nightmare which did not pull full, it was just red. but if you've ever had cool new inflammation, you know,

it can be really painful and kind of viruses, phone guy and to me, but i can trigger one. but 9 out of 10 corneo informations are caused by bacteria to shoot if it comes problematic with what's called a suit dominance infection. yeah, that's a german that readily develops resistance to antibiotics. and unfortunately, that causes over 90 percent of all contact lenses, infections, factories and so it was offering things one and a half foot lift. when an inflammation spreads to all layers of the cornea, the ais anterior chamber, a can be exposed to sizes. kind of this means that a hole in the i can arise and that the i may actually leak. that's how acute things got with you. when you get back in abu dhabi, she underwent emergency surgery, the damage corneo was removed, and the i provisionally sealed with a residual graft, which consisted only of an episode, helium and stroma. the missing endothelium was then replaced at home. an international collaboration from smith's bower is one of the few patients in the

world that have a composite cornea from 2 continents. i come to the good thing is to see covered for vision is now close to 100 percent, which is a great final results which is usually of our now lives without any restrictions or it's funny, it wasn't experience i could have done without, but ultimately things turned out, well the by the way, we're now also on chip talk back. i think i have to take that doesn't make your little bones today or we answer your questions and clips that are fun, accurate, and to the point. but also based on the latest research, want to discover even more from the world of science and follow us ad dw science. good hygiene, vaccinations a little can, can help, protects us from infections. you can also wear

a mask and use disinfectant to be extra careful. but we carry the best safe guard around inside of our new system the world over. it's a common sight and many drug stores and pharmacies rows of shelves, stuff with products, claiming to strengthen and support the immune system. lots of people take them regularly. that means it to me in 3 every morning in winter, just me, my victim indeed. 12 think i think definitely it's, i mean i take vitamin c m nation. our immune system provides a sophisticated shield to the 1st line of defense as the skin and mucous membranes . together they form the initial barrier against pathogens. mucous membranes cover surfaces that come into direct contact with microbes, such as those into bronchitis, loans, stomach, and intestines. the mucous membranes are home to defense,

so that actively seek out and destroy the intruders. they can also produce proteins called site or kinds that activate the rest of our immune system. there like a chemical alarm. if this 1st barrier is overcome, then white blood cells. so called glucose sites, take up the bible, they're found in the blood bone marrow and lymphatic system. t cells are one type of glucose side. they can activate other types of immune cells by releasing specific substances, india and that can lead to the formation of anti bodies and special killer t cells. their job is to prevent more cells from being infected and to kill those that already have that the system is active long before we noticed any symptoms, says immunology hist cost involved in mom. i was always working, but we mostly don't notice it because the bodies defenses are so effective. if it pathogens are destroyed before they can make a sick the immune system doesn't need special supplements. it's always active and

can't be strengthened with vitamin tablets. but to get fighting fit, it does need certain inputs. these most need don't have to do anything special to activate it. you can, of course we can address it because it's also a system with many needs. and if i don't fulfill them then it can't work properly. folks in the in order to function well the immune system needs, among other things, the right nutrients. nutrition expert, christina also knows what's important. she works at the german university of prevention and health management inside book and skip the sheet. and there were several, i mean specific nutrients like food late lot. it's important for the production of the immune systems, empty bodies 10, but we find it in all kinds of green vegetables and among them green peppers, but also cabbage and celery health and quin. what else? dawkins and it's also important as a natural mix of vitamins from fresh fruits and vegetables along with think which

is found in deans. peas, lentils, oatmeal, eggs, and chicken is inc. can help your body get over infections faster. in addition to proper nutrition, the immune system needs exercise its key to a well functioning lymphatic system. boom, fruit, gibson, gun length is found in a completely separate system in the body. it also has to flow, but it doesn't have a heart to drive my limbs. it works with your muscle power and glimpse moves when you tense up or relax and muscle. so when i move, i also move immune system to accomplish that goal. you should get moderate exercise several times a day if possible, and take a brisk walk or slow job 3 to 4 times a week, exercise to the point of exhaustion. however, it can be counter productive. the 3rd factor that plays a role in keeping your immune system healthy is sleep. too. many studies have shown how important that is. when you don't get enough sleep,

your body releases adrenalin. the hormone weakens the t cells that play a vital role in immune defense. it makes them sluggish. if you are getting sufficient sleep, on the other hand, your body will release positive substances such as side all kinds and your defenses function better. so in a nutshell, the right diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep, all play rolls and ensure in your immune system remains in top 4. you had it exercises good. so the main system, people who exercise frequently a better able to fight off infections. that's in good shape. tim is in charge of what accounts just joined in all immune system benefits and know mostly from physical activity. that's why the less than the exercise we are doing now is called

the purpose of genesis. your body, your whole endurance impacts, have as many, many models at the same time. let me show you how step one place you have faith more than him. why the parts step to do is quote, the place with hands and phone you for feet. step 3 was the
