When it comes to accurately diagnosing a disease, you need expensive, high-tech machinery and equipment that can see deep into the body to find out exactly what is wrong with the body.
While these high-tech devices are certainly essential, they are not the only means of detecting disease. Some animals have an amazing ability to not only detect disease in humans but also to express it.
There are countless instances where people affected by the disease learned from their pets that they had a serious health problem.
Examples include a dog licking, sniffing and even trying to chew on a specific area of its owner’s skin. Sections within which malignant cancer cells were later diagnosed.
Indeed, many species of animals, from microscopic insects to ants, rats, and dogs, have all successfully demonstrated disease detection directly from humans or their biological samples during experiments.
Many of these illnesses are potentially serious, especially in debilitated and immunocompromised patients. Therefore, accurate and early detection of the disease is essential.
Similarly, bees can detect symptoms of certain diseases from samples taken from humans, including lung cancer, tuberculosis and the coronavirus.
