Lately, however, blooms or huge, dense populations of Pfiesteria are appearing in coastalwaters, and in such large concentrations the dinoflagellates become ruthless killers. The bloomsemit powerful toxins that weaken and entrap fish that swim into the area. The toxins eventuallycause the fish to develop large bleeding sores through which the tiny creatures attack, feasting onblood and flesh. Often the damage is astounding During 1991 fish kill, which was blamed onPfiesteria on North Carolina's Neuse River nearly one billion fish died and bulldozers had to bebrought in to clear the remains from the river. Of course, such events can have devastating effecton commercially important fish, but that is just one way that Pfiesteria causes problems. Thetoxins it emits affect human skin in much the same way as they affect fish skin. Additionally,fisherman and others who have spent time near Pfiesteria blooms report that the toxins seem toget into the air, where once inhaled they affect the nervous system, causing severe headaches,blurred vision, nausea, breathing difficulty, short-term memory loss and even cognitiveimpairment. For while, it seemed that deadly Pfiesteria blooms were threat only to North Carolinawaters, but the problem seems to be spreading. More and more, conditions along the east coastseem to be favorable for Pfiesteria Researchers suspect that pollutants such as animal waste fromlivestock operations, fertilizers washed from farmlands and waste water from mining operationshave probably all combined to promote the growth of Pfiesteria in coastalQuestion 3: What is true of Pfiesteriul ?A.

He thought itwas just what every rebellious schoolboy did. But when Dan left school, got job as mechanicand continued to fall asleep during the day, he realized this wasn't normal. None of his colleaguesdozed off while servicing car or spent their lunch break snoozing in corner. When his host threatened him with the sack, he knew he had to find out what made him sodifferent from everybody else. Dan's GP [General Practitioner family doctor] was equally baffledand immediately sent him to sleep centre, where he was diagnosed as suffering from narcolepsy ,an incurable sleep disorder that is known to affect at least 2,500 people in the UK. Narcoleptics fall asleep at irregular and unexpected times. "Most people,' says Dan,'however tired, can stay awake if need be. But with me, its like blind is drawn. can be having aconversation with the most interesting person, but inside, am fighting constant battle to stayawake, it's like someone switches the lights off." Dan once fell off his bike due to an attack, and has been thrown out of nightclubs bybouncers who thought he was drunk sufferers are often mistakenly considered to be inebriatedor lazy. This, coupled with the fact that nobody is quite sure what causes narcotepsy, makes it hardto diagnose. It is widely believed to be the result of genetic mutation and research has shownthat sufferers have at deficiency of hypocretin small hormone produced in the brain whichregulates the body's state of arousal. Most narcoleptics also experience cataplexy sudden loss of muscular control that cancause them to fall to the door, their heads to slump or their jaws to drop, usually after suddensurge of emotion such as happiness, anger or fear. During the night, narcoleptics can also sufferfrom sleep paralysis an inability to move just before falling asleep or just after waking up andhallucination. Dan suffers from all of these symptoms. When arrive for our interview he holds onto thedoor for support as his legs buckle in an attack of cataplexy, because "I walked in and didn'trecognize you, and was bit taken aback." He finds it hard to describe the sleep paralysis andhallucinations, but says he begins "to go cold from the toes up, and then get these horrible noisesin my head babies crying and high-pitched squeal. Then start to see things, either figures inthe room or big bands coming at me from behind the curtains." The only person who can help Dan to snap out of the hallucinations is his 25-year-old wife,Claire, who is frequently tired as she is woken by the attacks. "I put hand on his shoulder and hewill come round, but it can happen again and again during the night," she says. At their worse, sheestimates, the attacks can occur around 50 times night. Dan is remarkably fresh-faced for someone who is supposed to feel overwhelming fatigue.He puts this down to the new tablets he takes to control his condition. He used to take anamphetamine-based form of medication, but found that his moods fluctuated too much. But sincehe started taking amphetamine-free Modafinil his moods have levelled out and his attacks havedecreased to just five or six times night, three or four nights week. He thinks that keeping busy also helps his condition. The couple have recently bought ahouse and Dan works on it every night after work until midnight. "It's when I’m sitting still for anyperiod of time that knew I’m going to go." The couple recently went to see horror movie, andDan slept through most of it ‘Tiny little things that most people take for granted have beenaffected by my narcolepsy," he says "Socially, we can never really plan anything. We go out todinner and can just fall asleep in my food." He is amazed at people's lack of knowledge about the condition, and has often encounteredprejudice. He desperately wanted to join the police force, but was sent rejection letter, saying he© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5would be health-and-safety risk. Another potential employer turned him down, telling him thesales assistant in his local chemist had told him Dan would probably turn up late for work all thetime. "It's not disability," he says, forlornly. "But people's perceptions of it as one have led me tobe bit scared of trying to pursue any other career opportunities, in case get turned down. And Isometimes feel like am bringing other people down with it. It can make you feel like nothing, anobody." His attempts to control the cataplexy have changed his personality. "I used to be thishappy-go-lucky person, who was always cracking jokes, but now can't really laugh because it setsoff the cataplexy." Despite all the obstacles that he has faced, though, Dan still manages to look onthe bright side. "Fortunately, don't think I'll ever go back to being the teenager who slept wholeweekends without ever waking up. This morning, got up at am and I'll go to the house thisevening and work on it until late. In fact,’ he says, grinning at his wife,‘I think Claire's more tirednowadays than am."

During the night, narcoleptics can also suffer© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5from sleep paralysis an inability to move just before falling asleep or just after waking up andhallucination. Dan suffers from all of these symptoms. When arrive for our interview he holds onto thedoor for support as his legs buckle in an attack of cataplexy, because "I walked in and didn'trecognize you, and was bit taken aback." He finds it hard to describe the sleep paralysis andhallucinations, but says he begins "to go cold from the toes up, and then get these horrible noisesin my head babies crying and high-pitched squeal. Then start to see things, either figures inthe room or big bands coming at me from behind the curtains." The only person who can help Dan to snap out of the hallucinations is his 25-year-old wife,Claire, who is frequently tired as she is woken by the attacks. "I put hand on his shoulder and hewill come round, but it can happen again and again during the night," she says. At their worse, sheestimates, the attacks can occur around 50 times night. Dan is remarkably fresh-faced for someone who is supposed to feel overwhelming fatigue.He puts this down to the new tablets he takes to control his condition. He used to take anamphetamine-based form of medication, but found that his moods fluctuated too much. But sincehe started taking amphetamine-free Modafinil his moods have levelled out and his attacks havedecreased to just five or six times night, three or four nights week. He thinks that keeping busy also helps his condition. The couple have recently bought ahouse and Dan works on it every night after work until midnight. "It's when I’m sitting still for anyperiod of time that knew I’m going to go." The couple recently went to see horror movie, andDan slept through most of it ‘Tiny little things that most people take for granted have beenaffected by my narcolepsy," he says "Socially, we can never really plan anything. We go out todinner and can just fall asleep in my food." He is amazed at people's lack of knowledge about the condition, and has often encounteredprejudice. He desperately wanted to join the police force, but was sent rejection letter, saying hewould be health-and-safety risk. Another potential employer turned him down, telling him thesales assistant in his local chemist had told him Dan would probably turn up late for work all thetime. "It's not disability," he says, forlornly. "But people's perceptions of it as one have led me tobe bit scared of trying to pursue any other career opportunities, in case get turned down. And Isometimes feel like am bringing other people down with it. It can make you feel like nothing, anobody." His attempts to control the cataplexy have changed his personality. "I used to be thishappy-go-lucky person, who was always cracking jokes, but now can't really laugh because it setsoff the cataplexy." Despite all the obstacles that he has faced, though, Dan still manages to look onthe bright side. "Fortunately, don't think I'll ever go back to being the teenager who slept wholeweekends without ever waking up. This morning, got up at am and I'll go to the house thisevening and work on it until late. In fact,’ he says, grinning at his wife,‘I think Claire's more tirednowadays than am."
