Activities that bring the population into areas where tsetse are present include the cultivation of crops (sorghum, sesame, sweet potatoes), fishing, collection of wood and beekeeping. The Mandoul area is a historical focus of sleeping sickness. It was included in the âsecteur de prophylaxie numÃ©ro 3â created in 1919 and was visited by the medical teams led by Gaston Muraz in 1928 [9, 10].
The average person is awake for about 14 to 16 hours per day. Most could extend that to about 20 hours if they were to stay up later; up to 40 hours is easy once a person getsâ¦ beyond the 24 hour mark; longer than 60 hours (staying awake straight through two nights and three days) is rare, but doable; the record is 264 hours or 11 days straight.
What they found was that if you stay awake for 17 hours, your hand-eye coordination would be about the same as if you drank enough alcohol to bring your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.05%. At this BAC, it is illegal to drive a car in many areas, but people drive after being awake for 17 hours all the time!he 17 year old Randy Gardner broke the previous record of 260 hours for his high school science fair project. This was in 1965 and I havenât read or heard of anything like it since.
