Dr.
Nicole Baldwin is a pediatrician who says Tylenol has been shown to be safe and left untreated.
High fevers can cause complications for the mother and the fetus.
We don't want parents to just tough it out.
You know, we want moms to be treated.
Some studies have pointed to a link between autism and Tylenol, but these correlations could be a
Fluke or coincidence.
She says correlation is very different from proving that something causes harm.

A lot of people have been seeking emergency care for tick bites. That's according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports the highest rates in more than five years. Allison Hinckley, an epidemiologist at CDC, says May and June are prime time for tick bites.
That's because it can wash off ticks that are crawling on you and let you search for ticks that have latched. The key thing, she says, is to get the tick off your body as soon as you can. Ticks can transmit pathogens that cause things like Lyme disease, Heartland virus, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
But it usually takes at least several hours of them feeding on your blood before the pathogen gets transmitted. Ping Huang, NPR News.
I was struck in your book that you identify three types of loneliness. There's psychological, societal, existential. Can you describe the differences?
It does seem like these are woven together, and to some extent, as you described them, it feels like all of us must have some societal loneliness, some existential loneliness. The one that really strikes me is the first one, psychological loneliness. And if the litmus test is, do I have a friend, that seems like a really important thing. I have three kids, and as you watch your kids grow,
sort of thrive in social space or struggle, one kind of through line of whether they're doing well is do they have a friend or two at the moment that they're really connecting with? It always seems like there's madness in the world, but having that one confidant is really important, right?
So let's talk about smartphones and the amount of time that people spend online. How do you think that this can help or hinder kind of authentic connections with others?
So you have written what is basically a prescription for people who are experiencing loneliness. Walk me through the three basic steps.
So that seems like a big takeaway for our listeners, this idea of be curious, make things, and have conversations. Let's focus a little more on making things. What sorts of things can people make and how can this help people be less lonely?
You write in the book that being different can lead to loneliness, you know, that trouble with being different. Perhaps that's why traditionally marginalized groups, people in the LGBTQ plus community might be at higher risk of loneliness.
Does this prescription you have work as easily for people who might be more prone to loneliness than sort of like run of the mill loneliness that just comes with modern society?
