If you’ve ever applied for a job you were probably required to take a drug test as a condition of employment.
And like most people, you probably knew you had nothing to worry about because you don’t use illegal drugs.

Like most people, I’m sure you’re familiar with the term “color blindness”.
In a nutshell, people who are color blind have difficulty distinguishing between certain colors.
Lots of people are color blind. In fact, millions of Americans (including yours truly) have a red-green deficiency (the most common form of color blindness).
The thing is, the vast majority of us color blind individuals still see the world around us in color. We simply fail to see certain colors as they really are.
And for the most part that’s fine because it doesn’t affect our lives in any meaningful way.
But guess what? There are a few people around the globe who are completely color blind. That is, they see the world around them in black and white.
Did you know there are people who quite literally cannot feel pain?
These people have an extremely rare and intriguing condition called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, or CIP for short.
Just how rare is CIP? Well, it’s so rare that only a couple dozen people in the entire world have it!
You’re probably thinking those folks are extremely lucky, but as it turns out most of them would likely disagree.
Are you the parent of a young child, infant or toddler?

And why not? It’s only human nature to want to protect our youngsters from all the germs that are floating around in their little world.
But guess what? As explained by the folks at WebMD and Texas A&M University Health Science Center, keeping a young child squeaky clean can actually do more harm than good for their future health.
If you’re like most people you probably believe that bottled water is safer to drink than tap water, but is that really true?
Contrary to conventional wisdom, the answer is actually no.
