Guys Which Impulse/scent Spray Do U Prefere

What does a redneck consider a full course meal?

sounds accurate lol

What stuff do they put on the cloth to make person pass out (i seen it on tv)?

Somebody at a writing site I go to asked this and learned that while chloroform is often used in older, poorly-researched books and movies, in real life it rarely works that way. The concentration that makes someone unconscious quickly is highly likely to kill them--and/or knock out or kill the person applying it.

Since you're creating fiction, why not invent a substance that acts exactly as you want it to? Writers get to do that.

Edit: Sorry to have the facts trip up the thumbs-downer. "Inhaling chloroform vapors depresses the central nervous system of a patient, causing dizziness, fatigue and unconsciousness..." and "...inhaling chloroform vapors depresses the central nervous system. It is *immediately dangerous to life* and health at approximately *500 ppm* according to the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Breathing about *900* ppm for a short time can cause dizziness, fatigue, and headache."

So the dose that produces the anesthetic effect (900 parts per million) is nearly double the dose which poses a risk to life (500 ppm).

How dangerous are red-tailed boa constrictors as pets, especially for beginners?

When I get my own place, I'd like to buy one of these beautiful serpents if I can afford to do so.

However, I have never had a reptile for a companion before.

To be fair to the animal, I will only buy it if I am completely ready and after doing a ton of research; no impulsive decisions will be made.

From what I have read, the larger snakes are generally not too aggressive and quite well-mannered if constant handling is a part of their daily lives.

Some people on this website have stated that red-tailed boas are great pets for novice reptile enthusiasts, while others have claimed the exact opposite.

In how much danger will I be, should I decide to bring one home?

How painful are their bites?

Please don't type something like, "Just get a bearded dragon instead."

I have thought about that as well.

How soon do Lyme disease symptoms occur?

Neck pain/ stiffness from a bite in the chest area by an infected Deer tick would be very unusual to develop THIS quickly. There aren't enough "ketes" in the bloodstream to cause much issue from the initial bite. It's much more likely you slept in an awkward position, esp. since you say "when I turn my head to the Right."
HOWEVER... if that IS (was) a Deer Tick, you live in an endemic area (like coastal VA to So. ME), AND it could have been ON you for that long (19 hrs):
1) There IS a 50/50, or better, probability that it WAS infected with Lyme bacteria, AND
2) it WAS "on" you long enough to inoculate you with the spirochetal disease. Don't listen to this B.S. that it HAS to be "more than 24 hrs" or "for 2 days". It all depends on how aggressive the tick was- in digging in & filling up- AND HOW infected the tick was. Remember, there's no fixed # of spirochettes in a Lyme-infected adult deer tick!
The tick that got me was on me for 19-20 hours! (4 months later, I got very sick & tested CDC+ for late-Lyme. Took 8+ months to "get better" and I still have issues. All VERY $$$.)
If I were you, I'd take the tick (if you still have it) & have IT tested pronto (Yes, most labs can do that now. ~$75)
Meanwhile, get to your doc's & insist on a MINIMUM of 4 weeks of doxycycline. (200mg/ day in 2 doses- Maybe more if you're "big".)
If the tick tests Lyme-negative, you can stop the abx. ;)
If "+", have yourSELF (blood) tested in about 4 weeks (the doc will prob suggest this), & let him/ her decide whether you need any further meds at that point, based upon all avail info.
Oh, & try to stay out of direct sun while you're taking doxy. You burn easier! (& keep an eye on the greater bite area :)

What is the reason for applying perfume on the wrist and the back of the neck?

When I was in my initial training days in IT industry , my bizz skill faculty told me about "Pulse Points".Pulse points are the points on body from which the heat from the body evolves. This is due to fact that the pulse is being close to skin at such points .Your neck and wrist are one of the "Pulse points" . These points help your skin retain the fragnance . So when we spray perfume there , the pulse points heats up and makes perfume last longer. Thus your skin retains the sweet smell in that area.
