Every Friday, 'Health Pick' starts.

On the 22nd, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that more than 40 people in 10 U.S. states showed symptoms of food poisoning, and one of them died, and most of the patients ate certain hamburgers at McDonald's.

Raw onions from Taylor Farms were pointed out as the cause of food poisoning.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said that onion products, which are believed to be the cause of food poisoning, have not been imported into Korea in the past two years.

Overseas brain health-related foods that are sought to improve memory or prevent dementia contain ingredients that cannot be used in Korea, so caution is needed.

According to a joint investigation by the Korea Consumer Agency with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, some products have been identified as "galanthamine" and "vinfocetin," which require specialist prescriptions, and some contain "City Collin," "Bacopa," and "Soksong," which have been blocked from being brought into Korea.

The Consumer Agency said it advised operators to stop selling and asked them to block domestic distribution.

In the future, the vacation period for women with miscarriages or stillbirths will be increased from 5 days to 10 days.

This reflects the opinion that female workers who have suffered miscarriages and stillbirths cannot sufficiently recover from the existing five days.

In addition, we have newly created three days of miscarriage and stillbirth paid leave for spouses.

In addition, in the case of infertile couples, if the infertility procedure is suspended due to a failure to collect eggs, the local government will have to return the treatment support paid by the local government, but in the future, it will not collect the local government support like health insurance benefits.

Korean researchers have developed a flexible LED mask that increases skin elasticity 3.4 times more than existing products.

Researchers at KAIST's new material engineering department Lee Kun-jae said they have developed a face-to-face micro LED mask that stimulates the dermis by using 3,770 micro LEDs and light diffusion layers.

The developed mask is a method in which the entire surface emits light evenly, not dots.

The researchers explained that they showed excellent improvement in eight skin aging indicators, including skin elasticity, wrinkles, sagging, and pores.
