Question 6

do crabs carry disease?

Accepted Answer

Not typically: Crabs are an infestation, usually, but not always sexually transmitted.   The intense itching will usually drive people to seek evaluation and treatment.  Scratching of the itch can cause a secondary bacterial skin infection.  Contracting any std markedly increased your risk of having other std's, even if the "crabs" don't carry the other disease, you can catch more than one at a time.

Question 7

how can i stop candy cravings?

Accepted Answer

Just don't eat,: I know, easier said than done. But to avoid candy, which is really really tasty, you just have to have a lot of will power.  Candy is tasty and inexpensive and everywhere.  You just have to accept that candy is unhealthy and avoid it as much as you can.  Perhaps replace with other sweet foods, like healthy fruit.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

A few things: We don't really know what causes preterm labor, but there are a few things that tend to increase the risk:

serious trauma (wear your seatbelt!)
smoking

high order multiple pregnancies
uncontrolled diabetes

but for the most part we don't know.  A great answer would win the nobel prize for medicine!

Question 9
