'Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unbitten.' 🎶

Mosquito season is upon us, and the class of 2025 are out in force, ready to bite. 🦟

While mosquito bites can be itchy and annoying, mozzies in Queensland can also carry serious diseases, like dengue, Ross River Virus, Barmah Forest Virus and Japanese Encephalitis Virus.
⁣
Here's how to avoid getting bitten:
🦟 Use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
👕 Wear loose-fitted, light-coloured clothing and covered footwear.
♨️ Use mosquito coils outdoors.
🏠 Remove breeding sites from your home (empty items that hold water, keep lawns mowed, drain and fill pools of water).

Most mozzie bites will result in no issues or symptoms. If you start experiencing diarrhoea, headaches, fever, or nausea, contact your GP.

In American Pie, Jim’s dad was known for delivering the world’s most awkward 'birds and the bees' talks. So, let's break STIs down, Mr Levenstein style. 👇

'Now, s*xually transmissible infections. STIs. You’ve, uh… you’ve heard of them, I’m sure. But how much do you really know?'

'If you’re having s*x the best way to avoid STIs is with protection. A condom uh, maybe even a dental dam. And, ah, regular s*xual health checks those are important too.' 🗓️

The body has over 200 bones ... and they all need a little lovin' to stay strong. 💕🦴

Bones are the foundations of your body. You couldn't move, walk, breathe or talk without them.

Up until you're about 30, you build more bone than you lose. After that, bone breaks down faster than it’s replaced, which leads to gradual bone loss. 😲

As you age, this can put you at risk of osteoporosis—a disease that weakens bones and makes them easier to break. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but post-menopausal women are at higher risk due to natural hormone changes.

Thankfully, you can support healthy, strong bones through diet and lifestyle. Building good habits early and maintaining them later can make a big difference. 🤗

Some tips for healthy bones:
🚶‍♀️do 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily
🏋️‍♀️ lift weights or do regular weight-bearing exercise (it helps increase bone density)
🥗 eat foods rich in Calcium and Vitamin D—your bones need it (milk, yoghurt, oily fish, egg yolk)
😎 get some sunshine each day (10 minutes daily is enough for most Queenslanders—remember to be sun safe)
🚭 reduce or stop smoking or va**ng
🍸 reduce alcohol.

Are you eligible for the free Shingles vaccination? You've probably heard about chickenpox, but what about shingles? 🤔

Shingles (known as herpes zoster) is a viral disease that causes severe nerve pain. The virus can occur at any age but Queenslanders over 50 years of age are more at risk.

It occurs when the chickenpox virus is reactivated, resulting in a blistering, painful rash. Other symptoms include headaches, fatigue and light sensitivity.

Read below for some interesting facts about shingles. 👇

If you experience any shingles symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible. If diagnosed early (within three days of the rash appearing) it can be treated with antiviral medicines.
