MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer begins to wind down, festive outdoor barbeques transition to indoor crock-pot feasts. After that slowly simmering supper has been served, however, the toxicology experts at Pet Poison Helpline want to warn pet lovers not to leave the leftovers out where an animal can find them.

Key Points: 
  • "Toxins called tremorgenic mycotoxins can form in spoiled, moldy food.
  • Symptoms include central nervous system and gastrointestinal signs, shivering, twitching, loss of control of body movements, high body temperature and seizures.
  • After slow-cooking a crock-pot full of ribs, Counce took the container of old, moldy sauce to the back yard to clean it out.
  • After discussing what had happened, and Sugar's symptoms, the toxicologists determined that Sugar was reacting to the moldy barbeque sauce, not xylitol.

Marine heatwaves don't just hit coral reefs. They can cause chaos on the seafloor

When water temperature goes over a seasonal threshold for five days or more, that’s a marine heatwave.

Key Points: 
  • When water temperature goes over a seasonal threshold for five days or more, that’s a marine heatwave.
  • They do their worst damage in summer, when the ocean is already at its warmest, but they can occur any time of year.
  • So it’s no surprise marine heatwaves are getting much more intense and more frequent.
  • In the most devastating marine heatwaves, heat can penetrate right down to the sea bed.

Why do deep marine heatwaves matter?

    • These shallow oceans are, on average, less than 100 metres deep.
    • When the shelf ends, there’s usually an abrupt slope into the deep ocean, where there are kilometres of water between surface and seabed.
    • Marine heatwaves are damaging to life in the seas covering the continental shelf.
    • When marine heatwaves strike, they can kill.

We don’t know much about deeper marine heatwaves

    • Instruments are subject to high pressure, corrosive salt water and marine organisms like oysters and sponges settling on them.
    • This is one reason why we only have very limited data on long-term trends in temperatures under the surface.
    • Our earlier research found marine heatwaves at depth can actually be more intense and last longer compared to the surface.
    • We found marine heatwaves come in a variety of types and have different causes.
    • For instance, winter marine heatwaves often run from surface to seafloor.

Marine heatwaves are not created equally

    • Of course, slowing ocean warming and preventing marine heatwaves from damaging ecosystems means slashing carbon emissions.

What happens to your body when you get left in the cold

Pret has reportedly apologised and said it is working with the manufacturer to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Key Points: 
  • Pret has reportedly apologised and said it is working with the manufacturer to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
  • It only takes a short amount of time in the cold for the body to be seriously affected.
  • When the body deviates from this temperature, it’s either because it’s fighting an infection (causing temperature to rise) or because it’s been exposed to cold.
  • This means the body is unable to produce enough heat to keep up with the rate it’s being lost.
  • In the severe stage, body temperature drops below 28℃ and most body systems stop functioning.

Dangers of the cold

    • Although hypothermia due to cold air takes longer, air movement can cause it to set in faster.
    • Frostbite is the freezing of the skin, which progresses to deeper tissues if cold exposure continues.
    • But as hypothermia sets in this can be counterproductive as it circulates blood from the cold limbs back to the core, risking even greater body temperature drops.
    • Movement during moderate or severe hypothermia can increase the risk of death due to this rush of cold blood to the core.
    • For people with mild hypothermia, removing them from the cold, taking off any wet clothing and giving them extra layers to warm up usually helps.

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Following habitat destruction from heavy rains, the SeaWorld Conservation Fund made an emergency grant to the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) to help save endangered African penguin chicks in South Africa. SANCCOB used the grant to rescue and care for 209 abandoned and displaced chicks from colonies in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape of South Africa following extreme weather and devastating floods that destroyed habitats and nests. The chicks are being hand reared until they can be safely released back to their native habitats. Thus far, 80 now healthy animals have already been returned to the wild since the end of June with more to follow.  

Key Points: 
  • Grant Made to Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds Supports Rescue and Care of 209 Abandoned and Displaced Penguin Chicks; Return of Now Healthy Animals Underway
    ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Following habitat destruction from heavy rains, the SeaWorld Conservation Fund made an emergency grant to the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) to help save endangered African penguin chicks in South Africa.
  • The SeaWorld Conservation Fund provides grants around the world to grassroots conservation projects that make a difference in species research, habitat protection, conservation education, and animal rescue and rehabilitation.
  • The African penguin has suffered a massive population decline and the species was listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red Data List in 2010.
  • Heavy rainfall caused flooding and destruction of African penguin nests, resulting in chick abandonment and displacement from nests and parents.
