Why is it that bottle-feeding a baby in developing nations has so much potential to be disastrous to the baby's health?
 
  a. Because proper bottles and artificial nipples are not often available in such nations, and thus children can get a wide variety of gastrointestinal maladies caused by the ingestion of far too much air while eating.
  b. Because formula-feeding does not promote regular schedules of feeding for babies, and this can lead to malnutrition and starvation.
  c. Because the formulas made in developing countries are usually well past their expiration date, and have been donated to those countries by manufacturers who would rather not simply dispose of the expired products.
  d. Because the only water available to prepare formula is often contaminated, which can lead to diarrhea, dehydration, and even death.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
