Sure. This was a media comment, however, not an analysis for which this medical scientist was responsible. Not was it a longer term follow up on actual exposure and consequent risks.

Fischer’s lovebirds, bouncing around at Seronera, in Serengeti. These wee #parrots are endemic to this region. These birds resemble yellow-collared lovebirds, which are more common south and east of northern Tanzania. #birds #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #nikon

Extremely brightly coloured, very social small parrots. They are foraging in soil of a public campground in Serengeti.

More than two-thirds of the public believe at least one false or unproven health claim—such as the idea that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism—a new survey finds. The results hint that a large, and potentially growing, number of people are questioning scientific evidence.

Little bit of feline togetherness as a watchful mum, with a pride’s entire batch of cubs to mind, gazes intently at a returning adult female. Everyone was hoping for lunch, but the returning female carried bad news about an unsuccessful hunt. #cats #nikon #wildlife #photography #nature #safari

A lioness left to watch over a dozen or more cubs gazes expectantly into the distance, at another lioness returning through the tall grass. This one was sensing that the hunt failed and that she and the we’ens wouldn’t be getting lunch yet. Her hopeful look became a very grumpy and very dangerous-looking snarl when it became clear there would not be food yet.

From southern Serengeti, where there is an astonishing super pride.

Little bee eater, hanging out just after dawn in Serengeti. These little gems are determined insect predators, as their name implies, but they aren’t limited to bees. Saw a pair take out a lovely butterfly. 🦋 😵 #birds #nature #photography #nikon #wildlife #safari #africa #tanzania

Perched near its mate, these birds are almost always found in pairs. Little bee eaters are wildly colourful, like all other bee eater species, making them a wonderful splash of colour amid the baked-dry savanna vegetation of the peak dry season in Serengeti.
