🧠 B12 plays a key role in nerve and brain cell communication — when levels drop, balance issues and falls can increase.
😴 Other signs include low energy and memory problems.
🩺 The safest first step is a simple blood test to check your levels.

🧂🤔 Is that bottle of mayo in your fridge still good?

Not all condiments are created equal when it comes to food safety. While some condiments can last a long time, mayo, creamy dressings, and other egg- or dairy-based sauces are more likely to spoil after opening. Always check expiration dates and look for signs like unusual odors, discoloration, or changes in texture before using them.

🚨 Eating spoiled foods can lead to foodborne illness with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.

If you or a family member is feeling sick and needs prompt care, AFC Urgent Care is here to help. ❤️
