The primary function of most endospores is to ensure the survival of a bacterium through periods of environmental stress. They are therefore resistant to ultraviolet and gamma radiation, desiccation, lysozyme, temperature, starvation, and chemical disinfectants.
Recurring Cold & Flu Symptoms. Hi, I've been struggling for the last 5 weeks with recurring cold & flu symptoms, a lot of sneezing, now i have a cough which is quite chesty, by the weekend i feel completely drained, somtimes quite achy during the evenings. I'm taking paracetomol extra, not suffering from high temp though.
Recurrent cold sores or herpes outbreaks are correlated with certain factors. Stress and sun or UV exposure are two of them. Diet can also play a role in causing the outbreaks. There are two amino acids found in food that can influence the outbreaks: lysine and arginine.
