<p>Marburg hemorrhagic fever is a rare, severe type of hemorrhagic fever which
affects both humans and non-human primates. Caused by a genetically unique
zoonotic (that is, animal-borne) RNA virus of the filovirus family, its
recognition led to the creation of this virus family. The four species of Ebola
virus are the only other known members of the filovirus family.</p>


<p>The virus is believed to be transmitted from an unknown animal host to
humans. Humans may spread the virus to others through extremely close contact
with a patient and body fluid (blood, faeces, vomitus, urine, saliva, sweat,
respiratory secretions). Close contact with a severely ill patient, during care
at home or in hospital, and certain burial practices are common routes of
infection. Transmission through needle-stick injuries is associated with more
severe disease, rapid deterioration, and possibly higher fatality. Humans may
also be infected after close contact with infected primates or their body
fluids.</p>


<p>Marburg virus was first recognized in 1967, when outbreaks of hemorrhagic
fever occurred simultaneously in laboratories in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany
and in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). A total of 37 people became ill; they
included laboratory workers as well as several medical personnel and family
members who had cared for them. The first people infected had been exposed to
African green monkeys or their tissues. In Marburg, the monkeys had been
imported for research and to prepare polio vaccine.</p>


<p>Patients who are at greatest risk of dying experience diffuse or extensive
hemorrhage into the skin, mucous membranes, internal organs, stomach, and
intestines. &#160;Swelling of the spleen, lymph nodes, kidneys, sometimes
pancrease, and especially brain occurs. &#160;Patients finally experience coma
and convulsions, followed by death. &#160;Death from shock usually occurs 6-9
days after clinical onset of symptoms. </p>


<p>Marburg haemorrhagic fever is a severe and highly fatal disease caused by a
virus from the same family as the one that causes Ebola haemorrhagic fever.
These viruses are among the most virulent pathogens known to infect humans.
Both diseases are rare, but have a capacity to cause dramatic outbreaks with
high fatality. Illness caused by Marburg virus begins abruptly, with severe
headache and severe malaise. Many patients develop severe haemorrhagic
manifestations between days 5 and 7, and fatal cases usually have some form of
bleeding, often from multiple sites. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Symptoms of Marburg hemorrhagic fever (MHF), to summarize
the treatments applied, and to assess the quality of clinical documentation.
Surveillance and clinical records of 77 patients with MHF cases were reviewed.
Initial symptoms included fever, headache, general pain, nausea, vomiting, and
anorexia (median day of onset, day 1-2), followed by hemorrhagic manifestations
(day 5-8+), and terminal symptoms included confusion, agitation, coma, anuria,
and shock. Treatment in isolation wards was acceptable, but the quality of
clinical documentation was unsatisfactory. Improved clinical documentation is
necessary for a basic evaluation of supportive treatment. </p>


<p class="MsoNormal">There is no drug treatment or vaccination for MHF.
Generally, patients receive supportive therapy which consists of balancing the
patient’s fluids and blood chemistries, maintaining their oxygen status and
blood pressure, and treating them for any complicating infections. Sometimes
treatment also has used transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma and other
preparations to replace the blood proteins important in clotting. One
controversial treatment is the use of heparin (which blocks clotting) to
prevent the consumption of clotting factors. Some researchers believe the
consumption of clotting factors is part of the disease process.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal">Muscle cramps are involuntary and often painful contractions
of the muscles which produce a hard, bulging muscle. Muscle twitching
(fasciculation) is the result of spontaneous local muscle contractions that are
involuntary and typically only affect individual muscle groups connected to
(innervated by) a particular motor neuron. This twitching does not cause pain. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Leg pain can be caused by any number of physical injuries,
the most common of which are tendonitis, muscle strains, muscle tears, and
sometimes even a hairline fracture. All of these conditions are best treated
with appropriate rest and follow-up rehabilitation. If a physical injury
doesn&#39;t improve with a solid period of rest, it is best to have it evaluated by
a qualified practitioner, who may be able to facilitate a recovery by providing
treatment that can improve blood circulation or address the possible presence
of scar tissue. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">If poor circulation causes muscle cramps, Vitamin E might be
a good choice for its blood-thinning and vasodilating properties. Gingko biloba
also provides a blood-thinning effect and may be considered. Sodium and/or
Potassium imbalances tend to become more of a problem during, or after physical
activity, but less so during rest, so for exercise-induced leg cramps or muscle
spasms, their addition in the form of a sports drink, or through extra Sodium /
Potassium supplementation in tablet form may be a consideration. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">The point is on the palm of the hand <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">between the thumb and the index finger</span></strong><strong style="">.</strong><br />
With the thumb of the right hand press on this point on the back of the left
palm. At the same time, with the index finger of your right hand press at the
same point from the inside of the left palm. This way you press on it from two
direction. You may also apply gentle round motions in the point, preferably in
the counterclockwise direction. Hold this way for several minutes until pain
goes away.&#160;</p>


<p class="MsoNormal">Pain is a process. Receptors in your skin and other tissues
send impulses through the nerves to the spinal cord. The impulses then travel
to the brain. It is in the brain, not at the point of injury, where the
sensation of pain is registered. This insight led doctors to understand that
pain could be controlled by preventing the pain impulses from reaching the
brain. If the pain impulses never reach the brain, the pain is not
&quot;felt.&quot; Pain can sometimes be difficult to control and get in the way
of daily activities for you and your family. Medications or other types of
treatments help most people control their pain. </p>


<p>If the cramp is in the back of the thigh, raise the affected leg and
straighten your knee. Rest your leg against a wall or tree if you have trouble
holding the position. If the cramp is in the front of your thigh, raise your
leg and bend your knee, bringing your knee up to your chest. Massage the thigh
firmly with your fingers. Extend your leg, and deeply massage your fingers into
the affected area until the cramp goes away. If your muscle pain is constant
and not just an occasional cramp, or if you notice swelling or tenderness in
your leg, contact your doctor. In rare cases (one in 2,000) a pregnant woman
can develop venous thrombosis, or a blood clot, which requires immediate
medical attention.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal">Baby massage has been a tradition in many communities for
centuries. It is believed that regular massage helps preemies to gain weight;
reduce colic in infants and strengthen immune systems of babies. Besides all
these benefits, it a pleasure for moms to caress the delicate, soft and tender
skin of their newborns and cuddle them. Massage should be given to newborns
midway between feedings. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">A good oil massage soothes and calms a baby, helps them to
relax and sleep better and makes them more alert during their waking hours. It
is a good exercise and promotes motor activity and emotional security in a
child besides, a healthy body and muscular development. It stimulates digestion
and helps the baby pass gas. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Do not oil baby&#39;s palms or fingers as these little ones tend
to put them in their mouths or eyes often and this may cause them irritation. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Remove
your baby&#39;s clothing and cover your baby with a soft towel or diaper</span><span style="color: black;">. Remove your bottle of massage oil from the pocket of your
<span style="">Baby Slanket</span>. Use an all natural
massage oil, a food-based substance that will not harm your babys delicate
lymphatic system when absorbed through the skin. Before massaging, you will put
a small amount in your palm and swish the oil between your hands to warm it and
cover your hands. The feeling should be smooth but not slippery. The swishing
noise will be a cue to baby that he or she is about to receive a massage. </span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal">Prior to massage, take time out for yourself, take a few
deep breaths, and ensure you are totally relaxed and prepared to spend some
quality time with your child.</p>


<p class="MsoNormal" style="">The
best way to get your baby to bed at a regular time is to start a routine early.
Do your best to put your baby to bed around the same time each night. If your
baby is having a hard time getting to sleep during this time frame, do what it
takes to get him/her relaxed enough to fall asleep, such as giving your baby a
bath, singing a lullaby, giving a gentle back massage after setting him/her
down, or making sure he/she has a fresh diaper. In addition to putting your
baby to sleep at the same time every night, be sure to use the same place. This
will help your baby associate that particular area with sleep time. </p>


<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Mandarin essential oil</span></strong> is soothing
and uplifting oil. It has balancing and stimulating properties and is also
known to regulate emotions. This oil will improve sleep patterns and soothe
anxiety.<span style="font-size: 8pt;"><span style="">&#160; </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Use smooth, gentle but firm strokes with your palm or
fingers. Light circular movements on chest and stomach, stroking across the shoulders,
downward movement on the arms and legs and upward movements on the back are the
best. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Do not oil baby&#39;s palms or fingers as these little ones tend
to put them in their mouths or eyes often and this may cause them irritation. </p>


<p class="MsoNormal">Avoid wearing jewellery such as bracelet etc as they might
hurt the tender skin of your baby. Also, keep your fingernails short when you
are massaging the baby.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) is a disease of the
immune system. Normally, the immune system protects the body from infection. In
lupus, however, the immune system inappropriately attacks tissues in various parts
of the body. This abnormal activity leads to tissue damage and illness. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Everyone has a fighter in them. It&#39;s called the <strong>immune
system</strong>! It battles <strong>germs and bacteria</strong> to keep your body from getting
sick. But if your immune system isn&#39;t working properly, it becomes <strong>autoimmune</strong>
and starts <strong>attacking itself</strong> - that&#39;s when you get sick. Lupus
(pronounced loo-pus) is an autoimmune disease, where the immune system attacks
your body&#39;s healthy </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Lupus can affect anybody but the distribution is somewhat
uneven. The disease is much more common in women, especially those of
childbearing age, with ratio of women to men being around 9:1. The disease also
appears to be more prevalent in women of African, Asian, Hispanic and Native
American origin but the degree to which this is due to genetics or
socioeconomic factors is unknown.<strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><strong style="">Causes</strong>&#160;</p>




<p class="MsoNormal">The precise reason for the abnormal autoimmunity that causes
lupus is not known. Inherited genes, viruses, ultraviolet light, and drugs may
all play some role. Genetic factors increase the tendency of developing
autoimmune diseases, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid
arthritis, and immune thyroid disorders are more common among relatives of
patients with lupus than the general population. </p>


<p>SLE (lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This means there is a problem with the
body&#39;s normal immune system response. Normally, the immune system helps protect
the body from harmful substances. But in patients with an autoimmune disease,
the immune system can&#39;t tell the difference between harmful substances and
healthy ones. The result is an overactive immune response that attacks
otherwise healthy cells and tissue. This leads to chronic (long-term)
inflammation.</p>


<p>The underlying cause of autoimmune diseases is not fully known. Some
researchers think autoimmune diseases occur after infection with an organism
that looks like certain proteins in the body. The proteins are later mistaken
for the organism and wrongly targeted for attack by the body&#39;s immune system.</p>


<p>The symptoms of lupus vary in seriousness. Sometimes they are quite mild,
and sometimes they are quite severe. Typical symptoms include fever, fatigue,
muscle pain, decreased appetite, and weight loss. The spleen and lymph nodes
are often swollen. Other areas that may be affected by lupus include:</p>


<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><strong>Joints.</strong>
Joint pain and disorders, such as arthritis (see arthritis entry), are common.
About 90 percent of all lupus patients have such problems. <strong>Skin.</strong> Lupus
may cause skin rashes on any part of the body. They usually occur on the face,
scalp, chest, ears, back, arms, and legs. </p>


<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="color: black;">Allopathic medicine does not consider there to be a cure
for lupus, but many alternative practitioners report &quot;cures&quot; by
eliminating causes and treating the body as a whole, beginning with adjustments
in diet and appropriate supplementation.</span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">People
with sun-induced rashes should always wear a high SPF lotion that blocks both
UVA and UVB types of ultraviolet light. Those taking oral steroid therapy or
immune suppressing agents should be vigilant if a fever develops, since fever can
occur with lupus flares or with a superimposed problem, especially
infection.&#160; A combination of rest, especially during flares, and exercise
for joints and muscles&#160;is important and should be supervised by the
treating physician and physical therapists.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal">Schizophrenia usually starts between the late teens and the
mid-30s, whereas onset prior to adolescence is rare (although cases with age at
onset of 5 or 6 years have been reported). Schizophrenia can also begin later
in life (e.g., after age 45 years), but this is uncommon. Usually the onset of
Schizophrenia occurs a few years earlier in men than women. The onset may be
abrupt or insidious. Usually Schizophrenia starts gradually with a prepsychotic
phase of increasing negative symptoms (e.g., social withdrawal, deterioration
in hygiene and grooming, unusual behavior, outbursts of anger, and loss of
interest in school or work). A few months or years later, a psychotic phase
develops (with delusions, hallucinations, or grossly bizarre/disorganized
speech and behavior).</p>


<p>Schizophrenia has difficulty holding a job or caring for themselves, the
burden on their families and society is significant as well. Available
treatments can relieve many of the disorder&#39;s symptoms, but most people who
have schizophrenia must cope with some residual symptoms as long as they live.
Nevertheless, this is a time of hope for people with schizophrenia and their
families. Many people with the disorder now lead rewarding and meaningful lives
in their communities. Researchers are developing more effective medications and
using new research tools to understand the causes of schizophrenia and to find
ways to prevent and treat it.</p>


<p>Schizophrenia is a group of serious brain disorders in which reality is
interpreted abnormally. Schizophrenia results in hallucinations, delusions, and
disordered thinking and behavior. People with schizophrenia withdraw from the
people and activities in the world around them, retreating into an inner world
marked by psychosis. Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia isn&#39;t the same
as a split personality or multiple personality. While the word
&quot;schizophrenia&quot; does means &quot;split-mind,&quot; it refers to a
disruption of the usual balance of emotions and thinking. </p>


<p>Schizophrenia is a complex illness. Even experts in the field are not sure
what causes it. Some doctors think that the brain may not be able to process
information correctly. Genetic factors appear to play a role. People who have
family members with schizophrenia may be more likely to get the disease
themselves. Some researchers believe that events in a person&#39;s environment may
trigger schizophrenia. For example, problems (infection) during development in
the mother&#39;s womb and at birth may increase the risk for developing schizophrenia
later in life.</p>




<p class="MsoNormal">An illness like schizophrenia has been variously described over the years.
Falvet in 1851 called it Folie circulaire, Hecker in 1871 called it
Hebephrenia, Kahlbaum in 1874 described Catatonia (a movement disorder) and
Paranoia. Kraepelin in 1878 pulled the various concepts together into one
disease entity which he termed Dementia praecox and said there were four types:
simple, paranoid, hebephrenic and catatonic, depending on the clinical
presentation. Simple dementia praecox involved a slow social decline, with
apathy and withdrawal rather than florid psychotic symptoms - such people
became drifters or tramps. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">There is no doubt a strong genetic component to
schizophrenia - those who have immediate relatives with a history of this or other
psychiatric diseases (for example, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder,
depression, etc) have a significantly increased risk for developing
schizophrenia over that of the general population. However, twin studies have
shown that simple genetic transmission is far from the whole story - if one
identical twin has schizophrenia, the risk for the other twin (who has the
exact same genes as his/her sibling) is only about 50%. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Herpangina typically is a mild and
self-limited illness. Patients do not appear very ill. Associated complications
rarely occur. Enterovirus 71, which can cause herpangina, has more recently
been associated with a greater frequency of severe complications that range
from the mild typical symptoms to fatal meningoencephalitis. Fatalities, which
mostly occur in infants aged 6-11 months, have been reported.</span><strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Herpangina from herp, an itching, and angina, a sore throat,
literally &quot;a choking&quot;; also called mouth blisters) is the name of a
painful mouth infection caused by coxsackieviruses. Usually, herpangina is
produced by one particular strain of coxsackievirus A, but it can also be
caused by coxsackievirus B or echoviruses. It is most common in children.
Though herpangina can be asymptomatic, symptoms usually associated are high
fever and sore throat.<strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Herpangina is an illness caused by a virus, characterized by
small blister-like bumps or ulcers that appear in the mouth, usually in the
back of throat or the roof of the mouth. The child often has a high fever with
the illness.<strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><strong style="">Symptoms of
Herpangina </strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">This illness starts abruptly, usually with a fever. Often
the fever is high (103–104°F). Occasionally, children lose their sparkle (and
appetite) a few hours before the fever begins. The mouth sores usually begin at
the same time as the fever or shortly afterward. Children average about five
blisters in the mouth. These blisters are surrounded by red rings and can occur
in the back of the throat, on the roof of the mouth, on the tonsils, on the
uvula, inside the cheeks, or on the tongue. The blisters may start as small red
bumps and may go on to become ulcers after the blister stage. The illness
usually lasts 3 to 6 days.<strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><strong style="">Causes of Herpangina </strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Herpangina is caused by a virus known as the &quot;Coxsackie
virus&quot;, because it was first found in patients in the town of Coxsackie in
eastern New York. (There are actually many different types of Coxsackie virus
which cause several different diseases; herpangina is cause by only one or two
of these &quot;serotypes&quot;.) The virus is classified as an
&quot;enterovirus&quot;, which means that it is most often found in the
gastrointestinal tract, and although enteroviruses are commonly responsible for
gastroenteritis (&quot;stomach flu&quot;), they can cause many other diseases
as well, including fever without other symptoms.<strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Herpangina is caused by Coxsackie virus, typically Coxsackie
group A viruses. Herpangina may be characterized by mouth ulcers, but a high
fever, sore throat, and headache may precede the appearance of the lesions. A
history of herpangina at school or in the neighborhood increases the chances
your child will develop the illness. The ulcers may be very painful. Generally,
there are only a few sores.<strong style="">&#160;</strong></p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><strong style="">Treatment of
Herpangina </strong></p>


<p>Coxsackie virus is transmitted by contamination with feces, which means you
can catch the virus by touching your mouth or eating without thoroughly washing
your hands. Good handwashing practices can help prevent transmitting most
viruses. Being aware of other cases of herpangina in your neighborhood or
school may allow earlier diagnosis.</p>


<p class="MsoNormal">Herpangina is usually diagnosed based on a complete history
and physical examination of your child. The lesions of herpangina are unique
and usually allow for a diagnosis simply on physical examination.<br />

        <p>Each month, during your normal menstrual cycle, a cystic
structure known as a follicle forms. The follicles secrete estrogen and
progesterone which stimulate the release of a mature egg from your ovary. In
some instances, the follicle continues to grow and becomes known as an ovarian
cyst.Ovarian cysts are relatively common in all women who continue to
experience menstruation. In many instances, ovarian cysts are completely
asymptomatic: a woman will not experience any pain or other signs or symptoms
which alert her to the fact that she has a cyst.<br />&#160;



<p class="MsoNormal">Ovarian cysts are relatively common in all women who
continue to experience menstruation. In many instances, ovarian cysts are
completely asymptomatic: a woman will not experience any pain or other signs or
symptoms which alert her to the fact that she has a cyst. Most ovarian cysts
will resolve, even without treatment, after one or two menstrual cycles.
Ovarian cysts are usually a common and harmless swelling of one or both
ovaries. These cysts most often occur in women who are between puberty and
menopause, when the ovaries are in high gear propelling out mature eggs. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Some functional ovarian cysts have no symptoms and are
discovered, if at all, during routine pelvic exams. Others can cause symptoms,
including changes in the menstrual cycle, including shorter or longer periods,
skipped periods, and/or spotting between periods, pelvic pain or ache,
especially during sexual intercourse or at the start or finish of menstruation,
feelings of nausea or queasiness or breast tenderness. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Ovarian cysts</strong> often cause no symptoms;
however when <strong>ovarian cyst symptoms</strong> are present, it may cause a
dull ache or a sense of fullness or pressure in the abdomen. You can&#39;t depend
on symptoms alone to tell you if you have an ovarian cyst. Pain during
intercourse and at other times can also indicate the presence of ovarian cysts.
Pain or pressure is caused by a number of factors such as size, bleeding or
bursting of a cyst, which irritates the abdominal tissues, or torsion (twisting
of a cyst) which can block the flow of blood to the cyst.</p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Essentially, an ovarian cyst is nothing more than a
fluid-filled sac, like a blister, on an ovary. The ovary forms a follicle that
ruptures when the egg is released every month during ovulation. If there is no
pregnancy, the follicle dissolves. If it does not dissolve properly, then
there&#39;s a cyst. Many women have cysts that come and go with their menstrual
cycle, unfelt and unnoticed, naturally washed away. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="d-r">You also can not eat or drink anything the
evening before your scan until the scan is over. For me I could not eat or
drink after 4:00 the day before. Right before dinner no doubt! The day of the
scan they had me drink another glass of nasty drink and stuck me with an IV for
the dye. This dye is clear and has some of the same stuff in it that fish have.
So if you are allergic to fish then you may have an allergic reaction to this
dye. </span></p>

        <p><span class="opdefaultcontent">Bees are moneymakers for some
people, but for others they are pure terror because of their feared stings. Bee
stings can be annoying and painful, but they rarely cause any problems. The
exception is if you are allergic to the venom, and then they can be fatal.</span><br /><span class="opdefaultcontent">&#160;</span>



<p class="MsoNormal">Bee stings are either annoyingly painful or deadly,
depending on if the victim is allergic to the venom. The best way to reduce any
reaction to bee venom is to remove the bee stinger as quickly as possible. If a
bee sting victim has had any allergic reactions to bee stings in the past,
consider the possibility of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Remove the stinger as soon as possible by scraping it
horizontally. This can easily be done with a credit card. Do not pull it out
with the fingers, as this will squeeze the venom out of the sac and into the
body. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Do not squeeze the stinger with your fingers or tweezers.
The venom sac will still be attached, and if you squeeze it more venom will be
injected. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Stings are not usually life-threatening, but they can be if
you have an allergy to the bee&#39;s venom. Signs of allergic reaction include
nausea, excessive swelling, trouble breathing, bluish face and lips, choking,
shock, and unconsciousness. If someone is sensitive to bee stings or if someone
receives multiple stings (which can create an allergic reaction even in
non-allergic persons), call for emergency help immediately. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Non-allergic victims will almost always develop local
reactions to bee stings. Redness, swelling, and pain are all common at the site
of the bee sting. The pain will usually go away pretty quickly, but swelling
may last for more than a day. Use an ice pack to reduce swelling at the site. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="mcontent">The first thing to do to </span><span class="yellowfadeinnerspan">treat</span><span class="mcontent"> a bee sting is to
locate and remove the bee’s stinger from the skin. This is very important,
because the stinger contains venom that will continue to be released, causing
the bee sting to worsen. When the stinger is located, it should be scraped off
horizontally with a clean finger nail or plastic card. If this doesn’t work,
you can treat a bee sting by removing the stinger with tweezers. Pinch the area
around the bee sting so that the stinger rises above the surface of the skin
and pull it out with the tweezers. </span></p>




<p class="MsoNormal">Treat a bee sting by scraping the stinger away in a
side-to-side motion with a credit card or fingernail, and then washing the area
with soap and water. Pulling the stinger or using tweezers may push more venom
into the skin. For any bug bite or sting, ice or a cold compress and over the
counter pain-relieving creams or oral medications can help. </p>




<p class="MsoNormal">There are two commonly used sting remedies in the South. One
is a baking soda and vinegar mix applied to the bee sting site. I&#39;ve also seen
a baking soda and water mixture used just as effectively, however vinegar seems
to remove the sting from a variety of injuries. It is said to draw out poison.
Another common remedy that works very effectively is to apply chewed tobacco to
the bee sting once the stinger is removed. It sounds gross and it is gross, but
it works effectively. </p>

        <p><span class="opdefaultcontent">Consider plucking, which is
effective for small patches of hair. Keep in mind that repeated tweezing of the
same hairs over the years can damage the hair roots enough to result in
permanent hair removal, so be careful when tweezing eyebrows&#39;if styles change,
you may not get your old brows back.</span><span class="opdefaultcontent">&#160;</span>



<p class="MsoNormal">The desire to remove excess or dark hair usually begins in
adolescence and seems to continue until the day we die. Whether it is hair on
the face, armpits, legs, bikini line, or other body parts, many women AND men
are intent upon having the hair on their scalp be the only visible hair on
their bodies. With the emphasis on smooth, hairless skin, it is interesting to
note that excess hair, especially in women, is still a taboo subject. </p>


<p>Why hairs are unwanted? </p>


<p>Though all the hairs are not unwanted but at the same time either you need
to get them done with the help of a hairdresser or totally remove them. If
hairs on legs of a woman are undesirable, then hair of nostrils and armpits are
undesirable for both men and women. Some time removing is for looking gorgeous
and cool and some time it&#39;s the demand, because we cannot carry them all along.
A cool looking wonder boy, especially in his teens will not like to carry hairs
of beard, at the same time a hot babe would not like to carry hairs on her
legs, especially below knees. More importantly, less hair means less bacteria. </p>


<p>Too much hair in the wrong places is emotionally painful for many women. The
definition of feminine beauty in the U.S. includes smooth, apparently hairless
skin. There are many cultures and individuals that don’t agree with this
particular idea of beauty. However, American women are bombarded daily by TV,
movie and magazine images that make it seem that women don’t have any hair at
all except on top of their heads.</p>


<p>Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses laser light — an
intense, pulsating beam of light — to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal
works by passing a light beam through the skin. The laser targets dark pigment,
called melanin, in hair. When the light beam hits the hair follicle (where hair
growth originates), the intense heat destroys the hair follicle instantly.</p>


<p>Another option is <strong>depilatory</strong> products, like <strong>Sally
Hansen</strong> , <strong>Nair</strong> or Veet. These products are creams or
liquids that you apply and then wipe away (and your unwanted hair gets wiped
away, too). It sounds easy to do, but they sometimes leave your skin irritated
with bumps or a rash.<br />
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Waxing is a tried and true method of removing large amounts
of hair at one time. Wax can be applied hot or cold. The hair sticks to the wax
and comes up when the wax is pulled off. It is fast and can be done at home or
at a salon. But it can also be messy, difficult to get consistent results, and
you must be careful to avoid infections that can result from burning your skin.
What’s more, waxing at a salon can be costly.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A stye is an infection in one of the tiny follicles in which
the eyelash grows. It looks like a very small boil and can be quite sore,
particularly in small children.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Eye Stye is a bacteria-infected localised inflammation of
the upper or lower eyelid which have Zeis glands that produce a secretion to
keep the area moist and soft. Eye stye occurs when staphylococcal bacteria
infect one of the tiny glands at the base of the eyelid hairs and then becomes
inflamed. An infection bacterium is frequently transferred from one hair shaft
to another when rubbing it to relieve itching. An eye stye occurs when
staphylococcal bacteria infect one of the tiny glands at the base of the eyelid
hairs and then becomes inflamed.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Boil a handful of acacia leaves in two cups of water. Make a
decoction and use as a compress on the eyelids. It reduces swelling and pain.
Helps to get rid of a sty.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">One of the easiest ways to tell if you have a sty is if you
are experiencing redness, tenderness, irritation or itchiness around the eye
area. As the sty grows, it is common for swelling to occur, along with watering
of the eyes, difficulty or pain while blinking and sensitivity to light. The
size of swelling varies but it can be very unsightly and uncomfortably heavy on
the eyelid. To find the site of the sty itself, check along the eyelid area for
a pimple-like bump that has a small, yellowish spot in the center.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Much as it is completely alien to have a bump on your eye,
make sure you don&#39;t touch it or use your hands to further compound the damage.
Even if you are tempted to do so, fight the urge to squeeze the sty out of its
misery. It will make things worse. Hold the sty as you would treat a newborn
baby: with utmost care.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The use of clove. This spice should be rubbed in water and
applied over the stye . This will give relief from the stye. Helps to get rid
of a stye<strong>.</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>&#160;</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Apply hot compresses for 10 to 15 minutes, three or four
times a day over the course of several days. This will relieve the pain and
bring the stye to a head, much like a pimple. The stye ruptures and drains,
then heals.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Washing your hands on a regular basis will help to prevent
styes from occurring. Because most styes, or sties, are caused by the S. aureus
bacteria, and Staphylococcus is one of the most common bacteria found on human
skin, it’s a good idea to wash your hands when you’re in public places. Also,
wash your hands before touching your face, and wash your hands before touching
part of your face (like your nose, where most S. aureus bacteria live) and then
touching another part of your face. Just stop touching things and keep your
hands and face clean! And don’t pick your nose!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">&#160;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="opdefaultcontent">Understand the cause. A stye
forms when bacteria infect the pores of the upper or lower eyelid. Pus collects
and a yellow dot marks the center of the stye. Unwashed hands are usually the
culprit. Stress contributes to the problem by reducing the ability of the body
to fight infections.</span></p>
