Question 1

is it safe to put a christmas tree in a childs bedroom?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you're referring to a real tree and not a plastic one. I'm not in favor of having a tree in a youngster's bedroom as pine needles   are strewn around and mold can grow on the tree triggering symptoms in such an enclosed space.

Question 2

cannabis fumes fill my sons bedroom from next door and build up when the door is closed what effect will it have on him?

Accepted Answer

Not good: You should not let him smoke in your house. I don&#x27;t believe that marijuana is legal in the uk. I might be wrong on that however. If it is illegal then it should not happen anywhere near your house. Furthermore, he is accumulating higher and higher blood levels due to secondhand smoke which can have the same effect as cigarette smoke. It is simply not healthy for him and in the long run he can get pulmonary cancer. Psychiatric risks are psychosis, depersonalization disorder, and social anxiety disorder.Since it is coming from next-door, i think you have no choice but to talk to the people next-door and if it is illegal turn them into the police. You should not have your son&#x27;s health endangered by their behavior.

Question 3

is it safe to put naphthalene balls in the corners of a closed bedroom (without open windows)? to inhale it long term?

Accepted Answer

Not safe!: It is not safe to use napthalene balls in a closed in area where you will be breathing the air. Mothballs are pesticides which can be poisonous if they're swallowed or if large amounts of the fumes are inhaled. Poisoning can result from breathing in the fumes over a period of time. Naphthalene can damage red blood cells, leading to kidney damage &amp; other problems. I wish you well with your health!

Question 5

happy holidays! silly question my husband opened a vicks soothing  lavender vapo patch and put on nightstand. its supposed to be for vaporizer or plug in. strong smell in our room. was that safe to breathe in not in vaporizer. its in our nose lol?

Accepted Answer

Vicks : Although this form of Vicks is more concentrated it is not dangerous or harmful to breathe it in as you described. The irritation that could be irritating your nose or throat should gradually improve over the next 1-2 days. If this does not happen you should see your primary doctor.

Question 6

my 2 year old son cries and scream during sleep, sometimes his eyes are open, i guess it is sleep terror as he is fit and fine in day time, what can be the reason and possible remedy, can we use lavender oil massage?

Accepted Answer

Forger massages: Night terrors/sleep walking and sleep talking are all forms of a sleep disturbance commonly linked to sleep deficits. A  short term (days) or long term period where the kid is not getting enough efficient sleep may set it off. Other factors can contribute to the process. Adding as little as a half hour of sleep/24hrs can sometimes decrease or end the events.

Question 7

is it safe to use lavander oil on my 18 month old son to help with restlessness ? if so , do i need to delute it and where to i apply it ?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: I do not recommend using lavender oil on your 18 mo old. Side effects are rare, but have been reported. There are some baby lotions and bath products with lavender that would be safe and may be helpful. I personally believe the babies are more calmed by the massage with the lotion and the warm bath! i would also look into the cause of his restlessness. Getting enough sleep? Something else going on.

Question 8

mosquito in my bedroom, how to get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

For serious home: mosquito problems:  Keep roof gutters clean from debris.   Don’t allow  standing water – empty kiddy pools  &amp; change water in birdbaths regularly.  Many outdoor items can be purchased that have  been pre-treated w permethrin.  Use bed netting when sleeping. Spray the walls of the home w insecticide.

Question 9

is it healthy to have ceiling fan in the bedroom?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated to health: A ceiling fan in the bedroom can circulate air and provide some cooling on hot or moist days.  You can feel much better and that might contribute to health  some consider its cooling effect healthier than an air conditioner.

Question 10

does masturbation decrease your stamina in the bedroom?

Accepted Answer

No correlation: There is no correlation between masturbation and stamina in the bedroom - immediately after masturbation people may not have the desire to have sexual intercourse, and in still trying, performance and stamina may suffer.
