The peculiar Covid symptom
...While far fewer patients reported loss of the sense of smell during the first omicron wave compared to earlier waves, the peculiar Covid symptom seems to be making a comeback.
Doctors note that what they’re seeing during the current rise in cases — fueled by the hyperinfectious BA.5 omicron subvariant — is still based on anecdotal evidence.

Insulated with the lavender straw
Lancôme is working with IFF and Leclef to develop rose plants that require less water, but that's several years away, says Lehmann. In the meantime, the property has two basins that collect water from the hills above and the river below; it uses no water from the town system. Leclef's team has devised a schedule in which they give the roses more water less often, to get hydration deeper into the roots — and ultimately use less water. The main building on the property, used to host visitors and educational sessions, is insulated with the lavender straw that grows a few meters away and doesn't have air-conditioning.
