Question 1

how might a site addresses your business in 2023 ?

Accepted Answer

: Please repost with a medically related question.

Question 2

how can i tell whether or not furniture has potentially worrisome vocs in it?

Accepted Answer

VOC's: Ask sales person's before buying. With the green movement, low voc products will often advertise as such.

Question 3

how could a stammering start a business?

Accepted Answer

Be king!: If the King of England could do it, so can you. First of all, don't look at it as an I can't because. Look at it as  another factor in starting a business, much as you would look at ways to finance the business. Then don't hide the fact you have a speech impediment. People do understand. Explain ahead of time "I sometimes have trouble with stammering, but it doesn't affect the great work I can do"

Question 4

please help me, what should i do. i am allergic to some new furniture. pressed wood i think?

Accepted Answer

Formaldehyde?: Off-gassing of formaldehyde from new pressed wood furniture or wood paneling can trigger irritant respiratory symptoms. If you have asthma, formaldehyde can trigger an asthma attack. The mechanism is inhalation of a respiratory irritant not an allergen. It might be possible to seal the furniture with polyurethane. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated spot & allow ample time for drying.

Question 5

healthy living: what furniture stores are particularly good about selling furniture that's free of vocs?

Accepted Answer

Hastens for beds: The gold standard, at least for "green" bedding, is hastens. The company reports it meets  standards set by Öko-tex and others for home and environmental health. Mattresses are made with cotton and even horsehair!

Question 6

i take 12.5 mg hydrochlorithiazide daily and forgot my meds on business trip will miss 3 days .... will this be a problem?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: You are most likely taking this for high blood pressure and/or fluid retention. Those conditions may not be as well-contolled for the 3 days you are off them but it is very unlikely that this will have any long-term consequences. High blood pressure creates problems when it is high over many years, not just a few days, unless it gets extremely high, but you are on such a low dose this is unlikely.

Question 7

if i am quiet minding my own business and someone comes to me and basically start debating with me about issues, why am i bad if i debate back?

Accepted Answer

Debate: Not if they start the debate first. One doesn't have to engage in uncomfortable debates, choose subjects you enjoy rather than something that would make you feel bad.

Question 8

how can i stop from going to strip clubs while on business travel?  always feel guilty. wife knows i have gone before and never got mad at me.

Accepted Answer

Threat to marriage: If you want to stop a behavior consider going to a therapist such as a clinical psychologist for support.  Also read about the 12 step process that has been so helpful to people who manage their drug, alcohol, or inappropriate sexual behaviors.  Your wife may be OK w/your behavior now but this may wear thin eventually.  Congrats on working on this issue.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

if we have had mould in our house before, but we no longer live in that house, will the furniture and other objects still be infected? and my health?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Mold damaged and water damaged materials can be the source of mold spores or mycotoxins. You should have your furniture and other items checked for mold if you are suspicious.

Question 10

i attended a business meeting 12 days ago with 10 other colleagues, and one of them was covid positive. however, nobody in the room for 8 hours with him has tested positive since? how can this be?

Accepted Answer

: Everyone's immune system is different.  Infection depends upon the amt, exposure time infectivity co-morbidity, age etc. So getting cocid  depends on all that
