Top Secret - How to deal to fungal nail infections
You may have read on the internet some pretty scary stuff about how fungal nail infections can become life threatening and how you need to buy a wonder drug that will save you from this terrible demise. You may also have read testimonials of people who have treated the infection with all sorts of homeopathic remedies and have experienced a virtually instant cure. In both those cases it is wrong. The facts of the matter are that a fungal nail infection is not life threatening however it is an infection and left untreated will, over time, get worse and worse until the nails are thick, brittle, crumbly and look absolutely disgusting.
As for the virtually instant cure, there is nothing that repairs the damage caused by the fungal infection, what happens is that, as the nail grows, the new, clear growth will gradually push deformed and infected nail out. Since toenails typically grow at round 1mm per month it takes some months for whole nail to become clear.
So, there you go, a couple of myths debunked.

Animal Abuser
🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.
The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.
He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:
• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks
Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.
