Cats have long been blamed for triggering asthma attacks in humans, but veterinarians in Scotland say it may also work the other way around, that cat sneeze you hear might be from you.

Last Wednesday, the boy and his father were visiting Chuck Mock's house, owner of 11 exotic cats and one bear. When Mock opened the cage, the tiger attacked the boy. As Mock was trying to wrestle the animal away, the lion bit the child

Scientists have discovered that leukemia in children is frequently engaged by common infections and in some cases may be prevented. According to the journal Nature, in the United Kingdom Childhood Cancer Study researchers presented a link to leukemia in children associated with viruses like measles in the 1920's and in the 1970's found that viruses significantly increased the onset of leukemia in cats and cattle. Mel Greaves of the Institute of Cancer Research, London, said that with the normal immune system process, infections activate a multiplication of white blood cells in the bone marrow, and in children genetically susceptible to leukemia, an infection can cause an uncontrolled multiplication of those cells. Exposure to pathogen's through vaccine in the first year of the child's life may help trigger the immune system to somehow prevent the overflow. Leukemia accounts for a third of all cancers in children under the age of 15 and is treated with chemotherapy. The goal of chemo is the destruction of abnormal, cancerous cells. It commonly attacks infants within the first two to four years after birth. Roughly 80 percent of children affected with leukemia survive the first 5 years after diagnosis
