Question 1

can you get sick from opening a unplugged freezer that had extreme rotten meat in it ?

Accepted Answer

Rotten meat: Use mask and gloves. Wash your hands properly after disposing the meat.

Question 2

if my freezer door was open a crack all night, what meats should i eat first? have frost, not soft.

Accepted Answer

No damage done: Eat whatever you have a taste for.  No damage was done by leaving the freezer door open a crack especially since the meat is still hard, meaning its still frozen.

Question 3

i had to clean out a freezer with 1 year old rotting meat. could i get sick from breathing around it?

Accepted Answer

Could ya?- yes: Aitborne pathogens, mold spores could become a problem.

Question 4

my freezer was left cracked open slightly all night. if the meat was still cold and there were ice crystals on the packaging is the food bad?

Accepted Answer

Should be fine...: If it was still cold it should fine. If you leave the meat at room temp that is when germs may grow on your meat.

Question 5

how long cn frozen meat & fish be left out of the freezer for? left out for 10 mins but also transported for around 15 minutes. cool day. still safe?

Accepted Answer

Frozen meat/ fish: Was the fish/ meat still frozen to touch after 25 minutes ? Was it cold? In general  25 minutes outside of the freezer /refrigerator  on a cool day should not have significant  pathologic effects  .  If it had thawed  and no ice crystals are present  do not return it to the freezer. See below f/u/ w/ doc

Question 6

not feeling depressed but doctor put me on abulify for unbearable fatigue and "slowness" shes not sure itsmood or my uctd, how would abulify help?

Accepted Answer

Get another opinion: Abilify (aripiprazole) is used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia as well as an adjunct to antidepressant meds. It is not a drug to treat fatigue per se unless the doctor is fairly certain that the fatigue is due to major uncontrolled depression.

Question 7

i'm taking antidepressants but it gets me slow and numb what affects my work. should i take them at night before sleep, or the mental slowness will be a frequent symptom?

Accepted Answer

: I would suggest a different type of antidepressant and you should not endure that adverse effect if it has been persistent.

Question 8

help! need to know if there's a mental issue or slowness that can cause a speech impediment, such as not being able to form words?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: That is a very general question. It depends on many factors, including the age and overall health of the patient, the nature of the symptoms, medications being taken, and many others. However, it is safe to say that the development of such a symptom where it previously did not exist warrants an evaluation with a primary care physician.

Question 9

does acetone cause numbness/slowness in your fingers?

Accepted Answer

: I  hope and pray your not talking g about ingestion of acetone, but use of it on your nails to remove polish. The tiny amount used, even if you use it frequently,  will not absorb into your system or locally to cause any symptoms. You need to look for a different reason  if you are having these symptoms.

Question 10

can slowness/difficulty in reading come from lack of detailed reading (looking at headings, titles, skimming/not reading content often) or dyslexia?

Accepted Answer

Either!: Skill and speed at reading certainly depends on practice!  Every improves with practice, even with learning disorders.  However if you have a learning disorder, see a specialist to find out what kind, then you can be given effective methods to make learning easier. When trying to read faster, pick a subject that you like!  It is often easier to get more enjoyment from non-fiction/jokes first
