The food delivery situation in Udon Thani is changing rapidly. You can now drive across town and guarantee you will see the tell tale pink color Food Panda riders all along your route.

But now there’s a new competitor in the hunt. Grab Food. This firm is an off-shoot of the very popular ride hailing app Grab Taxi.

Grab Taxi itself has been in Udon Thani for at least a year or more, and works great.

With the business now leveraging the food delivery sector, you can get tens if not hundreds of different dishes delivered to your door.

The difference at the moment is the Grab Food doesn’t have a PC browser-based website, instead relying on a mobile app.

Thai Disease Center Warns Pussy-Cat Lovers

Thai Disease Center Warns Pussy-Cat Lovers

A Thai Parasite Disease Research Center warns pussy-cat lovers to be careful with their feline friends after finding a 30-year-old male living in Thailand with 5 mm lesions in his right eye and 1 mm in his left. The culprit? Most likely his pussy cat.

ทาสแมวต้องระวัง "โรคขี้แมวขึ้นสมอง" แต่มีอาการทางตา

After examinations and tests, it was determined his lesions were related to a disease called chorioretinal toxoplasmosis. A common disease carried by both wild and domestic cats called toxoplasma gondii or T. gondii T. When a cat eats an infected mouse, rat, or any other prey that carries the parasite, they themselves become infected when digesting raw meat. A parasite is then released from cysts into the cat’s digestive tract, where it reproduces and produces oocysts.

Infected cats then excrete these oocysts in their feces by the millions. When the parasites leave the cysts of the infected meat, they will penetrate even more into the wall of the cat’s intestines which in return multiply into another form, called a tachyzoite. It then spreads from the intestine to other parts of the cat. Eventually, the cat’s immune system forces the parasite lays dormant until cysts grow in the cat’s muscles and the brain. Eventually mutating into yet another form, called a bradyzoite.

In some cases, T. gondii tachyzoites may be excreted in the milk of infected cows and goats.

Pregnant women and immunodeficient people have the highest risk of developing health problems after getting exposed to T. gondii . Women infected during pregnancy will show no symptoms themselves. Unfortunately, their infected infants will show no symptoms either, In fact, most will only show signs of infection until much later in life, including loss of vision and hearing, mental retardation, and, in severe cases, death.

This infection is found all over the world, people get it by eating raw or unheated meat, and eating and drinking food or water that was contaminated by cat feces.

Also, it can cause irreversible ulcerations and scarring, causing sore eyes, the tearing of the retina, and blurred vision

For answers to specific questions regarding toxoplasmosis infection in people, please consult with your health care professional.

There is no vaccine to protect against toxoplasmosis in animals or humans.

Ratchathewi attraction reopens after lockdown but customers still scarce A customer plays with the cats at the Caturday Cat cafe in Ratchathewi district of Bangkok on Thursday. (Reuters Photo) As Bangkok cautiously reopens restaurants during a pandemic , the feline “employees” of the Caturday Cafe are back at work.

A frequent visitor heard the cafe had reopened and visited the shop right away “Earlier, we could not go out anywhere which makes us a bit stressed out. But now we can come to meet the cats, we feel more at ease and relaxed,” she said. Maybe a much-needed remedy for everyone who has been locked down for months.

Like many businesses across Thailand, Caturday Cat Cafe has new rules: Before entering, customers must have their temperature checked and wash their hands, and once inside must wear a mask at all times.
