    Boy, 9, Hospitalized with Rare Brain-Eating Amoeba After Swimming in Kinneret

    A 9-year-old boy is critically ill with meningitis caused by the rare Naegleria fowleri amoeba, which he likely contracted while swimming at Korin Beach on the Kinneret. This is one of fewer than 500 known cases worldwide, with a high mortality rate. The amoeba can enter the brain through the nose when contaminated water is inhaled. Symptoms include fever, headache, nausea, neck stiffness, and mental status changes. The Ministry of Health advises minimizing water intake through the nose while swimming, avoiding dives and jumps, and using nose plugs.

    Ukraine Considers Legalizing Porn Industry to Fund Military Budget

    Ukraine is exploring the possibility of legalizing and taxing its porn industry to generate revenue for its military budget. The move, proposed by lawmakers, could bring in up to $25 million annually, enough to purchase approximately 30,000 drones. The current ban on pornography production, distribution, and storage in Ukraine has led to a thriving yet untaxed industry, with thousands of OnlyFans models operating within the country. Lawmakers argue that legalization would combat corruption, bring the industry into the tax system, and help fund Ukraine's war effort against Russia.
