Check the Chip Day is celebrated annually on August 15. It’s that time of the year when we raise awareness regarding the importance of microchipping, which greatly helps in reuniting missing pets with their owners. In fact, every second a family pet is lost, with only one in ten ever being found. As per consensus, approximately ten million pets are lost annually. Microchipping provides peace of mind to pet owners as it confirms the safety of their beloved pets. Gone are the days when pets were kept in cages. Now, they can be free and out of harm’s way.
EHS Day
EHS Day is observed every year on June 10, in an attempt to raise awareness about electromagnetic hypersensitivity (E.H.S.) syndrome. There has been very little research done into this syndrome’s symptoms and effects and so it is not classified as a medically diagnosable condition. But many international doctors and scientists recognize the debilitating effects this illness can have on some people. The syndrome is born out of increased sensitivity to the electrical environment which can include mobile devices, Wi-Fi, and other electronics. This sensitivity can only get worse as we incorporate more and more electronic devices into our lives.
