Shortage of vaccines from flu A H1N1 extending on the world has pushed inhabitants of Kuwait to search of other, natural ways of strengthening of immunity. For last month in Emirate on 20 % honey sales have increased. Anybody did not give specially any references to Kuwaitis. For all the advantage of honey is known at treatment of catarrhal diseases, therefore it and buy for flu preventive maintenance.
Splash in sales of honey speaks right now simply: in Kuwait new academic year in comprehensive schools begins. Parents, knowing that their children should contact to many extraneous people, simply wish them to save from possible infection with an infection.
And to worry it is about what. In Kuwait it is fixed more than 1,7 thousand cases of a new flu, and 443 from them have been taped for the last week. And though practically all diseased as a result has recovered or recovers, five lethal cases nevertheless have been noted. For Kuwait - the small country with the population in 3,5 million persons is much.
The Emirate authorities use the best efforts for prevention of diffusion of disease. Necessary preparations and vaccines are bought abroad, but a problem that in enough them to get it is impossible. The world pharmacological industry not in a condition to provide with medicines simultaneously all requiring.
On the threshold of new academic year on which date started in Kuwait still argue because of flu A H1N1, Ministry of Health has generated group of 136 nurses which will be referred to high schools. Six "field" laboratories for virus revealing "on a place", instead of in capital clinics are framed also. Wide propaganda campaign in mass media is developed. Everything, and first of all children, learn to behaviour rules in places of a mass clump of people, and also to actions which are necessary for undertaking at occurrence of the first symptoms of disease.
As to honey its use in nutrition, at least, will not do much harm. To that many, and children it is exact, sweet love.
