Many people feel uncomfortable because they see threads and flies floating in front of their normally normal eyes. It is a representative symptom of rhinorrhea, which usually starts in the 40s and commonly occurs after the 50s.
According to the medical community on the 26th, the human eye is filled with a colorless and transparent gel-like tissue called vitreous body. When the vitreous body becomes cloudy, it casts a shadow on the retina, making it feel like something is floating in front of the eye.
As we age, a phenomenon called ‘vitreous liquefaction’ occurs, in which part of the gel-like vitreous body separates into water and fiber. The vitreous body detaches from the retina due to vitreous liquefaction and contraction of the vitreous gel, which is called posterior vitreous detachment. It is one of the common causes of rhinorrhea.
Changes in the vitreous body are a normal physiological aging process. Physiological rhinitis commonly occurs after the age of 50 and becomes more common with age.

Dengue surveillance is based on the mandatory reporting of cases and is subject, during the period of mosquito activity, to reinforced surveillance, from May 1 to November 30, coordinated by Public Health France, in conjunction with the Regional health agencies and the National Reference Center for Arboviruses.
Since 2023, the number of imported cases of dengue fever reported in France has reached unprecedented figures, more than 60% of which return from the French West Indies, where an epidemic has been ongoing since mid-2023.

Over this period, 82% of cases returned from the French West Indies.
Due to the very active circulation of dengue in the French territories of the Antilles (Martinique and Guadeloupe) and the significant increase in the number of cases imported into mainland France since the start of 2024,
