Dopamine is a brain messenger tied to wanting and reward; endorphins are natural painkillers that bring a sense of calm and relief.

Fleas are tiny, jumping insects that bite and live on pets and carpets. Nits are the glued-on eggs of head lice, stuck to human hair strands near the scalp. People say “I’ve got nits” when they spot any little speck, but they often mean fleas or dandruff. Both pests are small, itchy, and linked to…
