FishResearchers have discovered that feeding children fish from a young age can drastically reduce the chance of eczema. Their studies have revealed that if you feed a baby fish within their first nine months, their chances of getting eczema are reduced by 24%.

Eczema affects one in five babies before they reach one year of age, and the numbers have been increasing in recent years. According to the Swedish study, it does not matter what kind of fish your baby gets fed, and it can be either oily or white fish.

dukeandmurphy2003 Animal Prosthetics Up until recently maimed animals were put to death. Science has been coming to their aid. In recent times, horses have been given prosthetic legs and an eagle has been given a prosthetic beak.

People are going out of their way to help animals that would have died or been killed by what had happened to them. In doing so, they are not just helping animals survive, these people are learning more about how animals act, how their bodies really work and what we can do to prevent such incidents from occurring.

An added benefit is learning how different types or prosthetics work which could help further develop human prosthetics.
