Question 1

how many people in united stated have hiatial hernia ?what is percentage population of people with hiatial hernia ?

Accepted Answer

Hiatal hernia: Look up your question on the internet.

To my surprise one of the articles says that after age 50, by age 60 about 60% have the hernia.

Go to Healthline Topics on the Internet.

If you personally have the hernia at age 18 you need to see a doctor for advice because it is unlikely to just go away.

Question 2

why is circumcision allowed in the united states?

Accepted Answer

Circumcision: Circumcision is a personal choice allowed here due to a long history of individual freedom. Some religious reasons are important as is a risk reduction of penile cancer and transmission of HIV virus. Although there is no strictly medical reason to do it, it will continue to remain an option for parents and their newborn sons.

Question 4

Question 5

Question 6

do people from the united states get malaria?

Accepted Answer

No: I assume you mean in the usa.  There is currently no malaria being transmitted in the usa.  Last year there were some cases transmitted in key west florida.  Intermittantly there are cases transmitted in southern texas.
Of course being "from the United States"
won't protect you if you go into countries where malaria is endemic. The parasite doesn't respect our us passports.

Question 9

are aphrodesiac drugs legal in the united states?

Accepted Answer

Undefined: There is no prescriptive "aphrodesic" drug available.  The closest is viagra (sildenafil).  Most products advertised as aphrodesic are in the over the counter supplement category - never tested, and unlikely to work.  This is a serious problem with wildlife - for instance folk medicine in china says rhino horn is good for this - so the animal is being hunted to the point of extinction.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

40,000: Is the number of salmonella cases reported to the cdc each year. It is estimated that 30 times that is the actual number of cases, since most of them are mild and go unreported.
