I'm going to say something that no one else says or even knows Diatomaceous Earth is a mineral that comes from plants. The Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is mined in it's natural state. Other types of DE have been processed and used as filters. I have so much information on Diatomaceous Earth it could be, yet another book, but I do recommend using safety measures and I have a page on that as well. Diatomaceous Earth Info I'm very glad you're okay, Wytchwood.
Keep using it as it's effective. There are over 1, uses and more for DE. Practice safety when using. My Books. Pauly's Channel. Largest Worm Farming Book. Worm Castings Results. Garden Tower Project.

Infectious bacteria those that do make you sick slip into your body and live among your healthy cells. Many emit chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue. Viruses are all around us — everyday we each breathe in over Most of these are harmless, but some can make us sick. The air you breathe is teeming with more than 1, kinds of bacteria, including harmless relatives of microbes associated with bioterrorist attacks, according to a new study.
Germs Can Be Spread in the Air Droplets containing germs are released into the air when a person coughs or sneezes. Bacteria and viruses can travel through the air, causing and worsening diseases.
They get into the air easily. When someone sneezes or coughs, tiny water or mucous droplets filled with viruses or bacteria scatter in the air or end up in the hands where they spread on surfaces like doorknobs. Researchers identify complex system in nostrils. A team of researchers from the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering SCELSE at Nanyang Technological University NTU found that on average, humans breathe in between , and 1 million microorganisms belonging to over 1, different types a day, with at least species of them constantly ….
When this happens, the air sacs in your lungs get infected and inflamed. Signs and symptoms of pneumonia chest pain when breathing or coughing. Few microbes are thought to be long-term residents of healthy lungs. Unlike the gut, healthy lungs are an inhospitable environment for bacteria, with little nutrition and constant surveillance by the immune system. The most common causes of bacterial lung infections in normal hosts include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus species, Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
In compromised hosts, the bacterial causes of pneumonia are much broader, including species not usually considered of high virulence in humans. Pneumonitis noo-moe-NIE-tis is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue.
Due to its chemical makeup, diatomaceous earth is not degraded by microbes or by sunlight. Also, it does not emit vapors or dissolve well in water. The ocean contains vast amounts of diatomaceous earth. Many marine organisms use it to build their skeletons. Diatomaceous earth is practically non-toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. It is commonly encountered by birds and other wildlife , and it's not known to be harmful.
However, no toxicity evaluations for wildlife were found. Agencies have stated that diatomaceous earth is unlikely to affect birds, fish, or other wildlife in a harmful way. Diatomaceous earth is made of silicon dioxide. When chickens were fed a diet that contained less silicon dioxide than normal, their bone formation was harmed.
This suggests that silicon dioxide plays an important role in bone formation. NPIC provides objective, science-based answers to questions about pesticides. Please cite as: Bunch, T.
