So, my mom is 66 years old and she got her second dose of the Covishield vaccine. But then, like 8 days later, she tested positive for COVID. She's better now, thank goodness. Since she's gotten both shots, I'm wondering if she should get another type of COVID vaccine after 3 months, or is she good to go with just the Covishield doses?

I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.

I just ate some food and then found a dead lizard in the vegetable compartment of my fridge. I'm a bit worried about what to do now. Is there anything specific I should be doing to make sure everything's okay? Would this have any health implications? Any advice would really help.

Immediately discard the contaminated food and thoroughly clean and disinfect the fridge, especially the vegetable compartment, with soap and warm water to prevent the risk of salmonella or other bacterial infections; also, wash your hands thoroughly and monitor your health for any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.
