Question 1

can i get crabs from a toilet seat?

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: Pubic lice are caught by sexual activity and do not live long off there host. Get treatment and be checked for other sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, hiv, gonorrhea, non gonococcal urethritis.

Question 2

how can i get my son to use seat belts in the car?

Accepted Answer

Persistence : Children often will challenge family rules and guidelines. Simply not driving the car while he is unbuckled or after he undoes his buckle/car seat can be very effective.  Some children are particularly adept at 'escaping' from car seats/seat belts.  Simply pull over, calmly ask the child to get back in, and check to ensure everything is snug. Staying calm, but firm takes the 'sport' out of it.

Question 3

what are the seats for sale in nitrobids.com good seats?

Accepted Answer

Oh my!: This is about as far from the topic of medicine as you can get. Try another site.

Question 4

i have a high sedrate count of 68 is this dangerously high?

Accepted Answer

No: Not by itself. The sed rate is the easiest lab test to do wrong -- even a jack-hammer operator in another part of the hospital can cause an epidemic of high sed rates -- and by itself it means exactly nothing. Life's hard enough without worrying about the numbers -- we pathologists say, "look at the person and just use the numbers to help understand.".

Question 5

is it highly likely to get sick when you sit in a seat occupied by sick person before you?

Accepted Answer

Airborne: Many of the pathogens causing people to get sick are airborne. So, it is possible to get sick from sitting next to someone who is sick.

Question 6

my son is 2months nand weights 12lbs and i was wondering when should i switch him facing the back of the passenger seat?

Accepted Answer

Carseat: It is recommended that all babies face backwards until age 2 AND at least 20 pounds.  Infant carriers have weight and height parameters on their sides to help gauge if a "convertible" car seat is a safer option.

Question 7

my boy is 4 months 19 days old he is trying to seat moves a lot, should i help him to seat , can i seat him already what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Baby development: Wonderful! a baby usually begins to sit between 4 to 7 months when head and neck muscles are strong enough to support head which is one of the heaviest parts of a baby. Just support your child as you would always do! and have fun through this developmental process.

Question 8

if you use the toilet and a bug is flying around on the toilet seat can it go inside of you i didn't see it after this ? please help .

Accepted Answer

No: If you have a lot of anxiety and obsessive thoughts of this nature, you might want to see a psychologist.

Question 9

is it fundamental to use seat covers when using a public restroom(is work restroom better?) and what is the worst that could happen if you don't?

Accepted Answer

Advisable, when able: Mostly cleanliness issues, but unless open wounds on the contact skin area with the toilet the chance for any form of contamination is minimal. Hands hygiene still applies as that is the main way of contracting and carrying infections.

Question 10

my braid accidentally tapped the toilet seat when i was bending over to pick something up should i be concerned for any disease even though its my own toilet i share a house with my sister?

Accepted Answer

: I would be less concerned about a braid that at most touches other distant body surfaces than your fingers/hand that touches your face/mouth several times an hour. (Unless you put your braids in your mouth on occasion) Germs require a favorable environment to survive. This includes moisture &amp; a food source. I doubt your braid would support their needs for long.
