Report Deadly Disease Alert: Melioidosis Claims 72 Lives in Thailand
Photo of Dr Panumas Yanawet Sakul courtesy of KhaoSod The Thai Ministry of Public Health has sounded an alarm over melioidosis, a dangerous disease that has claimed 72 lives and infected 1,676 people. The disease, also known as Whitmore's disease, thrives in waterlogged areas and is spread through contact with contaminated soil or water. The public is urged to avoid walking through muddy waters, inhale dust with caution, and prioritise cooked food. Dr Panumas Yanawet Sakul of the Department of Disease Control highlighted the increased risk due to recent heavy rains, especially in regions prone to flooding. Farmers and those working in such conditions are particularly vulnerable. The bacteria causing melioidosis can enter the body through skin abrasions, ingestion of contaminated items, or inhaling polluted dust. Symptoms generally appear between four and nine days but can emerge as late as a year. The symptoms are broad and may be mistaken for other illnesses, ranging from fever and respiratory issues to severe infections leading to abscesses in organs like the lungs and liver. Such complexities necessitate lab tests for accurate diagnosis. Current statistics indicate 1,676 infections and 72 fatalities, predominantly affecting those over 40, with the majority in northeastern provinces such as Mukdahan and Yasothon. Deputy Director General Dr Direk Khamphan advised measures to curb the risk, including wearing protective footwear and gloves, disinfecting wounds immediately, and avoiding soil and water contact when injuries are present. Eating properly cooked food and drinking boiled or packaged water are essential precautions. Avoiding dust exposure and seeking medical help for persistent fevers, especially those lasting over two days, are vital. The public is encouraged to follow these guidelines to prevent the spread of this potentially fatal disease. Those seeking further information can contact the Department of Disease Control hotline at 1422. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-12 -

RFK Jr.: HHS Moves to Restore Public Trust in Vaccines
So RFK was a hostage in this photo, or is he a hypocrite? Or do you believe that Big Macs, bleached chicken McCrispys, fake potato french fries, HFCS Coca Cola makes a healthy, nutritious meals. Right now I would be seriously concerned about the security of your medical records. The FDA is being enabled by the government to access the records of every American in order to, allegedly, test the effectiveness of AI-enabled medical app. There is good suspicion that in fact your health records will be used to train AI for as yet undefined reasons, such as enhanced biometrics (to go beyond Papiere Bitte). At the moment, the FDA is awaiting Congress to rubber stamp the change. The President has already signaled that Project Star Gate (supercharged AI) is one of his adminstrations key objectives in the reindustrialisation of the United States. Some of what you are proposing others call socialism. Surely its my right to eat what I choose, not the Nanny State changing its mind every few year about the latest fad diet. -

Crime Man Shot Dead in Palm Plantation Ambush in Surat Thani
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 40-year-old man was fatally shot in the face in what appears to be a targeted ambush in a remote palm oil plantation in Kiri Rat Nikhom district. Police are actively investigating the case and working to identify the perpetrator. The incident occurred around 21:00 on 10 July in Moo 11, Nam Hak subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Pattarawit Kittisrisuwan, Deputy Inspector (Investigation) at Kiri Rat Nikhom Police Station, received the emergency call and responded immediately with Police Colonel Narong Rakprathum, the station’s superintendent, along with investigators, forensic experts from Region 8 and rescue personnel. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a black-and-red Honda Wave 110 motorcycle overturned on the ground. Approximately five metres away lay the body of the victim, later identified as Mr. Thawatchai Suphatkaew, aged 40. He was found lying on his back, wearing a navy blue tracksuit jacket and black jeans, with a fatal gunshot wound to the face. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The location, a secluded palm plantation, offered little immediate evidence. There were no eyewitnesses, as the area was largely deserted at the time of the incident. The circumstances suggest the shooter may have been lying in wait before executing the attack at close range. Investigators are now questioning the victim’s relatives and acquaintances to gather information on possible motives and suspects. Police have yet to determine the calibre of the weapon used or identify any suspects but are treating the case as a premeditated killing. Authorities have vowed to track down those responsible and bring them to justice, with a full forensic examination and continued interviews expected in the coming days.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has warned that the population in the heavily embattled Gaza Strip is increasingly suffering from hunger. Teams on the ground have observed "a sharp and unprecedented rise in acute malnutrition among people in Gaza," the organization said. In its two health centres in Gaza City and the coastal town of Al-Mawasi, more than 700 pregnant and breastfeeding women and almost 500 children with severe and moderate malnutrition are currently receiving outpatient treatment.
