Warning over fake vodka containing harmful chemical
Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include stomach pain, vomiting, dizziness, sore head, confusion, slow breathing. In some severe cases, FSS have warned it could lead to a coma or death. Genuine Glen's vodka has a laser etched code imprinted on the back and base of the glass bottle. A legitimate product can also be identified by size, fill height and a bottle ID - FSS said these markings would not vary in position or detail.BBC Scotland reported last year that similar counterfeit bottles had been discovered by The Food Standards Agency (FSA).In a statement Food Standards Scotland said: "The scale of distribution of counterfeit product is still unknown."If you believe you may have consumed alcohol that has a strong smell and a very different taste to normal and are showing any of the symptoms described, please contact the NHS 24 on 111 immediately."If you have severe symptoms, call 999."

I want the world to know how amazing he is." Ms Godsell had returned home from Totton railway station where Watson had been learning how to settle on a train journey and recalled sitting on the sofa feeling unwell."Watson is usually a really chilled dog", she explained, "so I couldn't understand why he wouldn't stop nudging me" which he was trained to do in an said: "I tried to go upstairs and lie down, but he blocked the stairs by standing in front of them. In the end, I gave up and sat back down on the sofa."Watson went into the garden and started barking persistently, something she said is "completely out of character for him" but "it got my neighbour, Sue's, attention"."Sue knew that Watson didn't usually bark, so came round to investigate, she told me I didn't look well and, despite me protesting that it was just indigestion, she called an ambulance."Paramedics arrived and confirmed she was having a heart attack before she was taken to hospital for emergency surgery to have a stent fitted.

Trump's 'mysterious condition' resurfaces during Scotland visit
Donald Trump once again had a mysterious tan makeup caked on his hand Sunday during his trip to Scotland. The splotched hand appeared just weeks after The White House revealed that Trump has been diagnosed with 'chronic venous insufficiency.' Earlier this month, Trump, 79, appeared at a White House press gaggle with what looked like makeup covering a patch on the back of his hand, sparking concerns. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the president recently 'noticed mild swelling in the lower legs' and was evaluated by the White House medical unit. Leavitt said he underwent a 'comprehensive examination' which included 'diagnostic vascular studies.' 'Bilateral, lower extremity ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency,' Leavitt stated. She said it's a 'common condition' in individuals over the age of 70 and there was 'no evidence' of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. 'The president remains in excellent health,' Leavitt said overall. The president has spent the past few days in Scotland meeting with everyone from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The makeup covering has been visible in multiple press photos throughout Trump's trip. The makeup appeared to be concealing a raised circular area of skin that Trump's team may have been eager to hide. The splotch has been visible on other occasions throughout the past month, sparking a new round of questions about the cause. Earlier this month, in a surprise statement during a press briefing, Leavitt told reporters the president was checked out by his doctor after noticeable 'swelling.' Leavitt said in response to a question that there was 'no discomfort from the president at all.' She then pointed to his daily activities. 'And you probably all see that on a day-to-day basis, he's working around the clock. As for the treatment, I can defer to the president's physician,' she said. The letter released by White House Physician Sean Barbarella, DO, references 'mild swelling' in Trump's lower legs, and states the diagnosis emerged after a series of vascular studies. Neither Leavitt nor the letter addressed whether Trump would have to modify any of his routines, which include frequent golfing at his private courses on weekends, and his trademark dance moves to 'Y.M.C.A.' when he addresses rally crowds. Leavitt said there was 'no discomfort' for the president at all. Officials have previously mentioned Trump's frequent handshaking – Trump regularly interacts with a large number of people at White House events and when he travels – as the cause of the bruising, but have not previously identified the aspirin issue. The bruising had stayed with Trump from the presidential campaign through his return to the White House. According to the Cleveland Clinic, chronic venous insufficiency occurs when leg veins are damaged, making it more difficult for blood to return to the heart. It 'causes blood to pool in your leg veins, leading to high pressure in those veins.' The condition is fairly common, affecting one in 20 adults, and the risk increases with age. It can lead to achy legs, a feeling of 'pins and needles,' cramping, swelling and itching, as well as 'Leathery-looking skin on your legs.' Up to half the people who have had deep vein thrombosis later develop post-thrombotic syndrome within a year or two. That relates to scar tissue that can develop after a blood clot. Trump was the oldest person to take the Oath of Office when he was sworn in in January at age 78. He has said repeatedly that his predecessor Joe Biden, 82, had no idea what he was doing and this week opened a probe into an alleged 'cover-up' through his use of an autopen for a series of commutations. Trump reposted an item in May calling Biden a 'decrepit [expletive],' days after Biden got a prostate cancer diagnosis. Trump has made a point of demonstrating his own physical and mental vigor – taking question after question from reporters inside the Oval Office, sometimes speaking for up to an hour.
