It lays eggs, but nurses, it is toothless, has a venomous spur, has webbed feet, fur that glows and has 10 sex chromosomes. Ever since Europeans discovered the platypus in Australia during the late 1700’s, the quirky, duck-billed, semiaquatic creature has baffled scientific researchers.
When you love to cook, multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms like fatigue, loss of motor skills, balance problems, and vision issues (just to name a few) can turn what was once a relaxing hobby into a stressful chore.
