Utah officials are considering providing Narcan and gloves to election clerks in ballot processing centers as a precautionary measure against fentanyl-laced letters, following a series of suspicious letters appearing in multiple states. Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson is urging county clerks to be prepared for the possibility of such letters and is working to procure supplies and training resources. Mental health resources will also be made available to support election workers during this stressful time. While some officials believe accidental exposure to fentanyl is negligible, precautions are being taken to ensure the safety of election workers.
Scientists in Thailand have developed lightweight gloves equipped with accelerometers and gyroscopes that can detect and counter tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. The gloves send a Bluetooth signal to a battery-powered stimulator that applies a gentle electrical current to the hand muscles, reducing tremors. The researchers plan to partner with entrepreneurs to refine the gloves and make them smaller and more aesthetically pleasing. The gloves can also connect to mobile phones for real-time monitoring of tremors. The cost of producing the gloves is expected to be considerably lower than medication or surgery.
When it comes to concession stands, it's important to be aware of red flags that could indicate a lack of health and safety standards. These include disrepair, the smell of rancid oil, lack of a license, animal traps in plain sight, employees using gloves to handle money, greasy surfaces, and bad reviews. To ensure your safety, opt for pre-packaged snacks or drinks instead of food prepared or heated on site if you encounter any of these red flags.
