Actually most anaphylaxis is in adults. While allergies in general might be more common in children, those childhood allergies are often outgrown. And only a minority of people with allergies get anaphylaxis. I am 1 of the majority that don't. I did once have a pretty bad nasal allergy to...

I didn't say throughout the whole pregnancy. I said throughout the first and third trimesters. There is a difference. And just because the second trimester is typically asymptomatic doesn't mean it always is and along with acid reflux, I would say that pain is a common second trimester...

Okay, so mood swings are a normal thing during pregnancy but here is how Lisa knew she was pregnant: She bled a tiny bit after ovulation, not near a full blown period but enough to be noticeable. A week after that she has breast pain and her period is still 3 weeks away(their month is 7...

Well you see, I separated those from direct contact not because they aren't direct contact but because in those 4 cases, the infection doesn't start in the skin. And a vector is an animal(insect or not) that transmits disease from an infected person or animal to an uninfected person or animal...

The virus that causes Viral TB can be transmitted in just about every way possible unlike most viruses which stick to a few ways of being transmitted. Here are those routes of transmission from most common to most rare: Airborne Waterborne Foodborne Direct contact Vector Injection...

I continued writing chapter 8 of my story and Alma, who is only 5 years old at this point, got stung all over her body by bees. She smelled honey in a tree. Robin heard her say that she found honey. That is when Alma started getting stung. Her voice was almost breaking because of the pain of all...

Isn't it obvious that the force from the asteroid is what causes the fractures, so 1 human is on top of another human and with that force bones get broken, especially the ribs in both humans and with a lot of humans trying to hold on despite the force, a lot of humans get fractures. I mean...

It already has artificial gravity. Extreme force of a collision does not change the fact that they are in artificial gravity. And piles of humans with fractures does not necessarily mean that they are being bounced around. That would only be the case if the ship got a lot of force pushing it...

The generation ship in my fictional story was built by aliens that know how to use these 3 things: Artificial gravity to make it feel like earth throughout the ship. Controlled nuclear fusion with 6 tanks. Only 1 needs to be fueled and you have fuel that will last for at least thousands if not...

No, I am not asking if this would work in writing because it would. Plus I have started rewriting my Kepler Bb story from scratch a few months ago, still having similar scenes but with more narration as well as dialogue. I am at the chapter where Lisa gives birth to her firstborn who, 5 years...

In my first edition(which I never finished) of my Kepler Bb story, the same year that there is an actual civilization there and not just 1 family, Lisa becomes pregnant with twins. Because of fetal diapause at 6 months pregnant(this is based on ovulation, not LMP), 1 twin goes through typical...

True but without modern technology, a C section also has a higher chance of uterine rupture with subsequent pregnancies. Uterine rupture, I would think would be more of a disaster than neonatal death, especially early on in the first trimester. Uterine rupture would have all these side effects...

Now I have already set it so that these criteria are met when it comes to birth: At least 1 person by the mom, preferably 4 or more Vertex birth: any position is fine Breech birth: Prone position and other positions that put pressure on the back are not fine Transverse birth: any...

Well, it isn't really all their part. There are humanoids of the same species on another planet close to Kepler Bb(in the same habitable zone of the same solar system). These humanoids have survived every mass extinction on that planet due to their underground living. They were once stone age...

My Kepler Bb humanoids have very advanced medicine for their technological age. They are stone age but can put an IV in if the humanoid is loosing blood very fast(arterial bleed for example) or if the humanoid is loosing fluids and nutrients. So this means that they could probably care for a...
