Question 1

how can i be forgiven for all the people i used, hurt and misled?

Accepted Answer

Forgiveness: It often comes from within. Speak with a counselor, psychiatrist or religious figure for help in your journey.

Question 2

i moved into an mouse infested apartment and now all of my kids are sick all the time. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

New apt. and sick: Call the local health department and report the infestation so they can check it out.  The children's sickness may not be related to mice, e.g. Maybe allergies to things in new apartment, exposure to new set of sick kids.  Sometimes apartments have been fumigtated and have residual pesticides and toxic chemicals that make kids sick.  Check for lead in paint etc.  You have to check everything.

Question 3

Question 4

i live in dutchess county, ny. my kids were sweeping out our shed today. afterwards i saw mouse droppings on floor. i am worried about hantaviris?

Accepted Answer

Monitor the kids: I think this incident is relatively minor. In theory, hantavirus can be found in rodent excreta, but you are not in one of the 'high risk' areas such as the 4 corners region of the U.S. Since there are other diseases associated with mouse droppings, I would just keep an eye on the kids - if they develop any fevers, cough or respiratory symptoms in the next week see a doc ASAP. Prefer an ID doctor.

Question 5

should impetigo be kept moist?

Accepted Answer

Covered: Covering it is all you need to do. Make sure you take all the antibiotics. Keep yourself isolated x 24-36 hours until the bacteria load drops and or die away. Keep your hands and fingernails cleaned/scrubbed too.

Question 8

how to moisten wounds scabsin my head?

Accepted Answer

Petroleum based: Products such as vaseline or an antibiotic ointment such as neosporin or Bacitracin ointment are good choices.

Question 9

does jock itch have bad odor and stay moist badly?

Accepted Answer

Not jock itch: Jock itch doesn't cause vaginal odor. Get checked for trichomonais (an STD) and bacterial vaginosis, the most common causes of strong vaginal odor and discharge. BV is overgrowth of mostly normal vaginal bacteria. This has nothing to do with the jock itch fungus, which causes itching and redness of the skin of the groin, labia, etc -- and nothing else. Good luck.
