Question 1

why is my groin area covered in welt like hives in mine and girlfriend's groin area? we went in the woods fishing recently and she says its turkey mites but my zits keep apearing on my penis and thighs. very itchy. help?

Accepted Answer

: Get checked for scabies, pubic lice (crabs), and maybe folliculitis. A dermatologist would be ideal.

Question 2

can u send pictures of allergic reactions to wool? i been thinking bed bugs and dust mites but no signs of either?

Accepted Answer

Contact allergy: Bed bugs tend to cause red raised bumps that show up in clusters and even straight lines.  Dust mites do not bite.  A contact dermatitis is a reaction to something your skin comes into contact with like soap, laundry detergent or even wool. This type of rash is widespread and not as raised but also red.  All of these rashes are itchy but the treatment varies.  Avoiding the cause is step one.

Question 3

a few bites into turkey burg before realizing it's raw in middle despite thermometer saying 165. should i worry about sallmonella? probiotics help?

Accepted Answer

No: Hopefully you will not develop any symptoms. It is not necessary to start treatment proactively. Should you get any symptoms see a physician immediately for treatment. If you are on probiotics,it does not hurt to continue your medication

Question 4

i ate left over turkey and half way into eating it i noticed a little bit of mold. idk if what i had already ate had some? is this going to be bad?

Accepted Answer

Mold on turkey: You will probably survive to eat turkey another day. Leaving turkey out and eating it with salmonella on it is much worse. There are cheeses with mold like blue cheese. Penicillin is mold. If you experience nausea, diarrhea, wheezing, or breathing problems, seek help.

Question 5

on holiday in turkey and my leg is developing burn like rashes that were originally insect bites. they are not itchy or painful to touch, just ugly.

Accepted Answer

OK,...: Tough to know what this exactly without an exam.  Sounds like a progression of the healing process, and hopefully you will not acquire scars form the bites moving forward.  Try no to itch them or pick at them as that wold increase risk of infection and scarring.  See Dr. if you feel they are not improving.

Question 6

food poisoning in turkey 4 days ago. bad diarrhoea bit omitting and vertigo. im still getting diarrhoea, how long do i wait before taking norfloxacin?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Do not start yourself on antibiotics without seeing a professional and establishing a diagnosis.  Antibiotics are not harmless.

Question 7

how do i treat a dust mite bite?

Accepted Answer

Bug Bite: Dust mites don't bite. You need to re-phrase your question. If it is a bug bite, typically a little anti-itch cream is adequate until it resolves on its own.

Question 8

could we have bug bites or dust mites?

Accepted Answer

Different symptoms: While bug bites can lead to a rash, dust mites (and their fecal pellets) trigger asthma and allergic rhinitis especially at night.  Dust mites can trigger eczema in some.

Question 9

bedbug bite picture vs fleabite picture?

Accepted Answer

Bed Bug & Flea Bites: The basic difference is that flea bites cause small bumps surrounded by a halo. On the contrary, bed bug bites are red, hard and slightly raised like mosquito bites.
Flea bites on humans are found in random and irregular manner, whereas bed bug bites are found in a straight row or in a linear manner.
Flea bites are mostly found on legs and ankles. Bed bug bites can appear all over the body.

Question 10

skin susceptible to bites from small insects and dust mites?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: Never heard that the skin would be susceptible to insect bites more than someone else's unless the smell of the skin- soaps, colognes, perfumes, etc. maybe attracts the bugs more.  You might try not wearing anything that has a fragrance to it- even washing clothes in fragrance free detergent and dryer sheets.
