I'm guessing what you were prescribed was an antihistamine. Histamine is naturally produced in the body and has two very different functions at the same time: it promotes itchiness in the skin and wakefulness in the brain. Antihistamines are drugs that antagonise the effects of histamine. So when you take an antihistamine to dampen down histamine function in the skin, some of this antihistamine ends up in the brain and has the unintended effect of causing drowsiness

I google the difference between panther and cougar then ctrl+c ctrl+v Difference Between Cougar and Panther Cougar is always a defined and identified particular species, while a panther could be any of the big cats. Cougar does not have a larynx and hyoid structures to produce horrifying roars, but panthers could produce roars. Cougar is a new world species, while panther is both a new world and old world species.

[@Natalie-it9ji]

You are correct! The common name panther comes from the genus name Panthera, which belongs to the true big cats which can roar, like Panthera leo and Panthera tigris (lions and tigers). Confusion comes from common names just being how people describe what they are talking about. Most common names come from when we grouped animals based on their looks (morphology) rather than genetics/ancestry. Cougars do look pretty similar to lions, so it makes sense they ended up with a similar common name. Genetically, they are different enough that we gave them a different genus name, Puma. This is why we have the system for scientifically naming creatures, so we can discuss with accuracy, even across many languages. I love how many people are curious or interested! Hope this helps.

Doctors recommend clean environment for the children allowing the interaction with different potential allergic molecules (kids that grow up with pets are less likely to develop fur allergies). However, in the case of diseases like eczema, everything should be sterile because we lack defenses. So, it actually depends on the baby's health condition.

You can look into hygiene theory, its very interesting. I also did a paper in school about food allergies and the time they were introduced into the kids diets. For some allergens, such as peanuts, the earlier you give it to your child, the less risk of allergy to peanuts. Its super interesting because parents have become really worried about peanut allergies so they often times wait to introduce those foods but we actually have seen rates of allergies increase. We want to protect our kids from everything but the reality is that is likely doing more harm.
