  • What is a migraine?

  • A bad headache!!

  • Naahhh!!

  • A migraine is not just a bad headache.

  • It is often accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting, nausea, sensitivity to light,sound, etc.

  • Hence, migraine is actually a multi-symptom disorder.

  • Migraine headaches can last from 4 hours to 72 hours.

  • However, the duration and symptoms may vary from person to person.

  • Usually, the symptoms like food cravings, neck stiffness, yawning, constipation, etc.

  • May begin before the actual headache.

  • This period is called prodrome phase.

  • After this,

  • The phase called aura begins in which an individual may experience blurred vision, slurred speech, pins and needles sensations, etc.

  • Then begins the attack phase when actual headache strikes.

  • The pain is often only on one side of the head and is accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, etc.

  • After the attack phase, when the headache subsides, the individual may experience confusion, fatigue, etc.

  • This phase is called postdrome phase.

  • Topic: Bad breath

  • Why do we get bad breath?

  • It's not bad breath!!

  • It's perfume!!

  • Oh gross!!

  • Bad breath is generally caused by bacteria that live in our mouth.

  • These bacteria feed on the food particles which get stuck in our teeth, gums and tongue.

  • They breakdown the food particles into simpler forms.

  • Releasing foul smelling compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol and cadaverine.

  • These gases form the bad breath.

  • But why is morning breath so bad??

  • Usually during the day, saliva carries the food particles and bacteria from the mouth into our stomach.

  • Thus controlling the bad breath.

  • However, when we sleep, we produce less saliva, making our mouth dry.

  • This increases the growth of bacteria.

  • Thus increasing the breakdown food and producing bad breath in the morning.

  • Topic: Comets

  • Why do comets have tails?

  • Maybe because, like monkeys, they can hang themselves on trees!!

  • Naahhh!!

  • Let me explain!!

  • A comet is a mixture of rocks, dust and ice.

  • This ice is basically frozen water and frozen gases.

  • When a comet approaches the sun, it starts to heat up converting ice directly into gas.

  • Releasing the trapped dust particles in space.

  • So, you mean a comet has two tails.

  • Absolutely!!

  • Oh!!

  • Stop bluffing!!

  • No!!

  • It is true!!

  • The ultraviolet radiations from the sun ionize the gas.

  • The solar wind carries this ionized gas away from the sun, forming an ion tail.

  • Whereas, the light from the sun exerts pressure on the dust particles and pushes them away, creating a dust tail.
