This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Cash 'Cows'?
It has been reported that some women are earning as much as £10,000 by selling their breast milk online to body builders (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/19/growing-sales-of-breast-milk-online-amid-warnings-about-risks). It is not exactly clear, why body builders rate human milk so highly. Experts have, however, warned that human milk can contain drugs, as well as harmful bacteria and viruses (including HIV, the agent causing AIDS). Online breast milk will not have been tested for any of these contaminants. It may not even be human breast milk. E-Bay are now removing advertisements for this material from their app.
