After a host (i.e., the person) becomes infected by a virus, the virus invades the body’s cells and uses the components of the cell to replicate and produce more viruses. For example, infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) are resistant to many types of antibiotics and have the capability of producing severe and life-threatening infections.

It discusses the serious health issues caused by chronic selenosis in Enshi County, China, and mentions the correlation between high plasma selenium levels and increased type 2 diabetes risk, alongside inconsistent study findings. Animal studies suggest high selenium exposure can lead to insulin resistance.
