Pictures of 'zombie-rabbits' with twisting black horns go viral - Jordan News
Pictures of 'zombie-rabbits' with twisting black horns go viral Photos of rabbits in Colorado with black, horn-like growths around their faces have gone viral, with some describing the animals as "Frankenstein-", "zombie-" and "demon-rabbits". اضافة اعلان Residents in Fort Collins near Denver recently began posting pictures of the cottontail bunnies, causing a stir online. "This is how the zombie virus starts," posted one Instagram user on a post showing the rabbits. "We've got freaking zombie rabbits now?!" posted another on YouTube. So what's going on? Firstly, the pictures are real - despite some wishing they weren't. "One time I need this to be AI," wrote one Instagram user on a post showing the horned bunnies. The rabbits are suffering from a relatively harmless disease called Shope Papilloma Virus, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Although the wildlife agency is getting calls from people spotting the infected rabbits in Fort Collins, they're not an unusual sight, according to spokesperson Kara Van Hoose. The disease is mainly found in America's Midwest, according to the University of Missouri, and is more noticeable in the summer, when the fleas and ticks that spread the virus are most active. The virus can also spread through rabbit-to-rabbit contact but not to other species like humans or dogs and cats, according to Ms Van Hoose.

Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease diagnosis in emotional post
ALBAWABA - The famous singer Justin Timberlake revealed he has Lyme disease. The singer-songwriter and actor Justin Timberlake told his fans about the news in an Instagram post on Thursday that was about the end of his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour. "As many of you know, I'm a pretty private person. But as I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour -- I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me," Timberlake wrote. The singer and his wife, Jessica Biel, have two sons together. He wrote that he was hesitant to tell his fans about his diagnosis but chose to do so in order to be more honest with them. "If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has -- then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically," Timberlake wrote. "When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that Lyme disease is an infectious disease spread by ticks that can hurt the joints, heart, and nervous system if it is not treated. A course of antibiotics for 10 to 14 days can easily treat most cases of Lyme disease. But in some cases, long-lasting symptoms like tiredness, body aches, and trouble focusing or remembering things may still be there after treatment. People with this syndrome are sometimes called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, or PTLDS. US singer Justin Timberlake (Photo by Alejandro Gonzalez / AFP) Justin Timberlake, 44, didn't say anything else about his diagnosis or treatment. The ex-member of *NSYNC started his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in April. On Wednesday, he played his last show in Turkey. It was just hours before Timberlake was supposed to perform at his last U.S. show of the tour in February. He told fans on social media that he was sick with the flu. Recently, Timberlake got some bad feedback from fans in Europe during the European part of his tour. They said he didn't sing enough of his songs live and instead asked the crowd to sing the lyrics. Justin Timberlake wrote on social media that he was glad he kept going with his tour even though it was hard for his health when he made his Lyme disease discovery public. "Not only did I prove my mental tenacity to myself, but I now have so many special moments with all of you that I will never forget," he said. "I didn't want to talk about this because I was taught to keep things like this between two people." But I'm trying to be more open about my problems so they aren't taken the wrong way. What you need to know about Lyme disease Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S., and Timberlake is not the only one who has to deal with it. Amy Schumer, Shania Twain, Justin Bieber, and Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, are some other famous people who have talked about their problems with the disease. People get the disease from tick bites, which are caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. It's most likely to happen in late spring, summer, and fall. Most of the time, the tick has to be on the skin for at least 24 hours before the bacteria can be passed on. As early as three days after being bitten by a tick, you may start to feel sick with fever, headaches, and tiredness.
