Rumor Scan the code to receive the "2024 personal labor subsidy"?
Truth: Recently, some netizens received an email of "2024 Financial Individual Labor Subsidy Receipt Notice", saying that "the subsidy policy is limited to Chinese citizens whose wages have been deducted for more than 3 months within 1 year, after receiving the notice, please apply for registration in time, and overdue will be regarded as a waiver of receiving it", requiring you to scan the attached QR code with WeChat and enter the "National Human Resources and Social Security Official Mini Program" for processing.
In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the so-called "personal labor allowance" has never been issued, and the above email is false information and suspected of fraud. Criminals use illegal channels to obtain netizens' email accounts, mobile phone numbers, WeChat accounts, etc., and then send false information to induce the public to scan QR codes or click on links to enter carefully forged "official" mini programs or websites, and fill in personal information such as ID cards, bank cards, and verification codes, so as to achieve the purpose of defrauding money. The notice issued by the human resources and social security department will not ask for personal information such as bank cards, passwords, mobile phone verification codes, etc. When receiving a message or email similar to "scan the QR code or click on the website link to receive the subsidy", you must be vigilant and do not fill in personal information such as ID number, bank card number, and bank card balance on unfamiliar websites to prevent property losses. If you accidentally encounter online fraud, keep chat records, transaction records and other relevant evidence materials, and immediately call 110 to call the police for help.

Myth: Cancer patients can "starve" cancer cells by reducing their nutrient intake?
Truth: Trying to "starve" a tumor through dieting is unscientific. While tumors do consume a lot of nutrients, it is a mistake to inhibit tumor growth by restricting nutrient intake. This practice may lead to malnutrition in the patient's body, affect the function of normal cells, reduce immunity, and instead provide conditions for tumor growth. The right "starvation therapy" involves the use of anti-angiogenic drugs to block the blood supply to the tumor, or interventional therapies such as arterial chemoembolization to directly cut off the tumor's source of nutrients, with the aim of precisely attacking the tumour cells rather than affecting the overall nutritional status. Maintaining a good nutritional status is very important for cancer patients, both during treatment and during the rehabilitation phase after treatment. (Source: Science Refutes Rumors)
Reminder Red fire ants have invaded 12 provinces! Many people have been bitten in many places, which can be fatal in severe cases......
Details: Recently, a seemingly inconspicuous ant has attracted widespread attention because of a series of injuries caused by incidents. On May 12, the Beijing Municipal Landscaping Resources Protection Center reminded that as the weather warms, an invasive pest enters the active period, that is, the "famous" red fire ant.
Red fire ants have invaded 12 provinces
In 7 years, 344 counties and cities were newly invaded
Red fire ants, native to South America, have a reddish-brown color and a similar appearance to common ants, about 3 mm to 6 mm long. It has been described as "recognized as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species in the world" and has been listed as a national agricultural, forestry and phytosanitary pest.
According to reports, red fire ants have amazing reproductive ability, and their nests often appear in grass, farmland, wasteland, roadsides, parks and other places. There is more than one queen in a nest, and the removal of one nest will bring the other nest back, which does not really cut off the reproductive ability of the nest and destroy the entire nest. This is also the problem that red fire ants are difficult to control.
Sensitive people are bitten by red fire ants or go into shock
If you do not seek medical attention in time, it will cause death
Red fire ants are very prone to forming high-density populations in newly invaded areas, and once a person or livestock steps on an anthill, they will pour out of their nests and crawl on their bodies in swarms to bite, making them very aggressive.
According to the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, after the human body is stung by red fire ants, the injured area will have continuous burning pain, and the local skin will form erythema, blisters, hard swelling, itching, and bacterial secondary infection after the blister bursts.
In addition, about 2% of people have an allergic reaction to the protein in the venom released by red fire ants, and sensitive people will have symptoms such as flushing, hives, and even difficulty breathing, and severe allergic reactions will have symptoms such as vomiting, dizziness and shock, which may be life-threatening if not treated in time.
The garden department reminds
Do not stay in damp places with a lot of mosquitoes, such as grass and trees.
If you encounter a large number of red fire ant colonies, do not step on the nest with your feet or touch it with your hands.
If you find an anthill (a loose mound higher than 10 cm) that is suspected of being a red fire ant, do not disturb or damage it casually, please report it to the local agriculture and forestry technical department in time, do not dispose of it yourself, and do not try to raise it.
