""Don't take Tylenol," was the blunt advice of US President Donald Trump during an announcement that the US Food and Drug Administration will slap a new warning label on the painkiller (also known as acetaminophen and paracetamol) that flags a "possible association" with autism in children. But there is a lack of strong evidence to back up the claim. "The evidence does not support a causal link between acetaminophen or vaccines and autism," says clinical teratologist Sura Alwan,"
"Oxygen particles blown from Earth to the Moon can turn lunar minerals into haematite - otherwise known as rust. The particles are carried in 'Earth wind' - a gust of ions of elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen and the offending oxygen - which hits the Moon for around five days each month. Researchers simulated the process by pelting single crystals of iron-rich minerals known to exist on the Moon with ions of oxygen, which caused the crystals to transform into haematite."
US President Donald Trump advised against taking Tylenol and announced that the FDA will add a warning label flagging a possible association with autism in children. Scientific experts state that current evidence does not support a causal link between acetaminophen or vaccines and autism. Few safe alternatives exist for treating pain and fever during pregnancy, so discouraging use could increase fear among pregnant women. Oxygen ions from Earth, carried in an 'Earth wind', can oxidize lunar iron-bearing minerals into haematite, and laboratory simulations showed oxygen-ion bombardment transforms iron-rich lunar crystals into haematite. An Ebola outbreak in the DRC has 47 confirmed cases and 25 deaths.
