Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day
Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day is on May 31 and this day aims to provide information and help for the treatment and prevention of this infection. It also encourages people to provide support in any way possible for those affected with necrotizing fasciitis.

National Hole In My Bucket Day
National Hole In My Bucket Day on May 30 pays homage to an old children’s song that goes by the same name. The song ‘There’s a Hole In My Bucket’ originated in Germany in the 1700s. It describes a deadlock situation where the character, Henry, faces problem after problem all due to a hole in his bucket. Henry attempts to find a solution through his friend Liza’s advice, but he is unsuccessful in coming up with a solid plan. The children’s song is filled with quirkiness and has been enjoyed by many over the centuries. There have been several versions of the song, too — some add adult elements to it while others are politically satirical.
