I was eating some leftover pizza and noticed tiny bugs crawling all over it after I had taken a bite. I read online that people say it's just extra protein, but since they were alive, I'm pretty nervous. Do you think Ill be okay?

If you are concerned about potential food contamination, it is always best to err on the side of caution. You may consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any potential allergic reactions. If you develop any symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm worried about my friend's health. He's had a fever for two days, and his SGPT level is 69.0 while other test results are normal. The doctor prescribed him Ziprax 100. Do you think he needs to get any additional tests done?

Ziprax 100 might be appropriate for bacterial infections, but if fever persists or worsens, it is important to do further tests to rule out any serious underlying conditions, particularly related to the liver.
