Truth: Recently, some netizens posted pictures and texts saying that "the water of the Pangling River in Jingxi, Baise turned red overnight, which became a stark contrast to the surrounding scenery, and the so-called green water and green mountains became red water and green mountains." In this regard, the Jingxi Ecological Environment Bureau of Baise City carried out an on-site investigation and verification, and after monitoring, there was no pollution in the water quality at the site, and the information released by the user was not true.

Myth: Helicobacter pylori infection can cause stomach cancer?
Truth: Don't worry too much. The occurrence of gastric cancer is the result of a combination of factors, including infection, environmental and genetic factors, and Helicobacter pylori infection is only one of the causative factors of gastric cancer. Studies have shown that in China, the population Helicobacter pylori infection rate is about 50%, and about 1~2% of Helicobacter pylori infected people will eventually develop gastric cancer. Although the World Health Organization has designated Helicobacter pylori as a first-class carcinogen, and the risk of stomach cancer in people infected with Helicobacter pylori is 4~6 times that of people without infection, it cannot be said that Helicobacter pylori infection will definitely get stomach cancer. Once H. pylori infection is detected, standard anti-infective therapy should be given. At present, the recommended standard eradication therapy is generally quadruple therapy, and the radical cure rate can reach 80%~90%. (Source: Science Refutes Rumors)
Reminder @学生和家长. Overseas tourists: be cautious in currency exchange! Beware of scams!
Details: Whether it is overseas travel or overseas study, foreign currency exchange is essential, but some people use the form of private exchange for foreign exchange transactions in order to be convenient or cheap, but they do not know that this operation is risky.
When the victim takes the bait, they will ask them to go out to offline transactions, making the transaction more real, and when they really want to trade, they will not show up for various reasons, trick the victim into transferring money first, and then ask the victim to continue to transfer money on the grounds that "the account is frozen and the deposit must be paid" after the victim transfers, until the victim finds out that he has been deceived. In addition, banks in Hong Kong make a distinction between "arrival" and "accounting", and "arrival" only represents "money to the bank", which does not really enter the payment to the peer account and can be revoked at any time. Criminals take advantage of this feature to trick victims into believing that foreign currency has arrived through fake remittances, and then trick victims into transferring money, so as to commit fraud.
Anti-Scam Reminder:
1. Please exchange currency through formal channels, do not believe all kinds of "preferential exchange" information, to avoid being deceived. Private exchange is not only insecure, but may also involve money laundering, illegal foreign exchange trading and other criminal acts.
2. If you are unfortunate enough to be deceived, you should report to the local police in a timely manner, and pay attention to collecting and retaining evidence, so that law enforcement departments can carry out investigations and promote follow-up legal procedures; If the defrauded money is transferred through a domestic bank card, you can also call 110 of the place of domestic household registration or ask the police for help through relatives and friends in China.
