Question 3

best site for body art?

Accepted Answer

Caution: Remember tatoos are permanent and somewhat unstable.  This means that whatever you get, will last throughout your life but will smear and fade irregularly over time.  If you are desperate to get a tatoo, try and get a very small one in a very hidden place like above your butt crack, or in between your toes.  Avoid personalization and areas that will show in summer clothes.

Question 4

is this a free help site??

Accepted Answer

YES!: There are also options to pay to have more detailed consults via Skype with doctors here, but it does not cost a thing to ask questions here and the doctors volunteer their time and expertise to help you for no charge. In a world where seeing a doctor can be rather pricey I am happy that this service exists...

Question 5

how do you take out slivers?

Accepted Answer

Carefully&cleanly: Sharp scalpel blade, tweezers, magnifying glass. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol for skin and tool prep.
If wooden , sometimes soaking in water can cause splinter to swell and pop out.
Don't forget  tetanus booster and soapy wash after.

Question 6

no it for me is your site free ?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question!: The first part of your question does not make sense.  As for the rest, this forum is free to use, and doctors answer general questions as volunteers.  There is also a way to have a virtual low-cost consult with a doc one-on-one on Healthtap Prime, which acts like a virtual urgent care. You also may be able to interact with your own physician here if your doc uses Healthtap Concierge.

Question 7

are online matechmaker sites safe?

Accepted Answer

Safe sites: An online site isn't dangerous or safe.  An online site simply is a forum to meet others.  There will be people online just like people you meet at any social gathering place that are nice and others that are mean.  It is your responsibility to be careful and "fully vet" someone new you meet.  You can take precautions like only meeting in places that are open, crowded public spaces during the day.

Depends : On the type of spider, and ther are only 4 genera of spiders in the us that are dangerous to humans but generally, there may be 1 or 2 small puncture wounds in the center of a red, warm, swollen, initially painful (sometimes) but then sometimes itchy area.  There may occasionally be some numbness in the area also.   However, black widow bites and brown recluse and hobos can be quite different.
