Mumps is an infection caused by a virus. It mainly affects the salivary glands but sometimes other parts of the body are affected. Mumps normally affects children, but can occur at any age. Mumps is now rare in the UK as children are routinely immunised against mumps.
Used as a preservative for most of history, honey is also one of the foods that donât need to be refrigerated. In fact, storing it in an environment thatâs too cool increased the chances of glucose crystallizing inside the honey.
While the refrigerator is a modern-day miracle that lets us store perishable food safely for longer periods of time than room temperature allows, there is a limit to how long raw proteins can be refrigerated before they should be cooked.
