Is it normal to be 16 and already freaking out about having to go through life?
I believe it would be normal NOT to be freaking out at 16, if you aren’t then you will be mulling long through your junior, senior years and into college. Faced at the end with a dilemma……after all these years of school I have no idea what I want to do. Sound about right? Perhaps not that extreme but many people in your shoes are in that same position or have been and wished they made changes earlier in their lives when they had the OPPORTUNITY.I invite you TRULY take the time right now and recognize what skills you have, what natural talents you possess and begin questioning what it is you enjoy doing? Perhaps you LOVE academics, maybe it’s sports, perhaps setting up social events - what is it you TRULY have a genuine passion for? Make that a project, a two year project to which at the end of your senior year will be presented for EVERYONE TO VIEW and EXPERIENCE.It’s to “freak” out……..now what? What are YOU going to do? You have SO MUCH ahead of you friend, so many opportunities to grow and offer change……..do it……do what YOU ARE passionate about friend and you’ll be at the top wondering, “why the heck was I freaking out in the first place?”Keep growing stronger,
Found a tick on my dog and am freaking out!?
Calm down. I live in the Appalachian Mountains and I get at least 10-20 ticks a day off my dogs, cats, horses, and myself combined. It's not a big deal. Lyme disease is carried by a tick only if it bites an animal, such as a deer, who is already infected with it. So odds are maybe 1 out of every 300 ticks will be carrying it. If the tick was black, it was probably only on for a day. The ticks will start out black and as they stay on the animal longer they will swell according to how much blood they've sucked up. It goes black -> brown -> green. Green ones are hard to miss and grow to about the size of a fifty cent piece. When they get too big, they explode. The head will stay in the animal and it's body will regenerate. Usually an animal will only get Lyme disease (if the tick is carrying it) if the tick has been on for a few days. I don't recommend you use tweezers to get them off because the head breaks of easily. I just pick them off with my fingers. To kill them you can either burn it with a lighter or cigarette, put it in a cup of alcohol, or do what I do and flush it down the toilet. I've used flea/tick treatments and they don't work for me. Just check your dog every day. The most common places to find them are on the ears (or in them), face, belly, legs, and private area. For people I've had them on my shoulder, knees, scalp, and one on my eye lid while I was sleeping. I really hope this helps. Ticks aren't that big of a deal as long as you check your dog daily. They can't do much damage in a day. I've gotten big green ticks off a neighbor's dog and it was okay. I've gotten brown ones off my horse's tail. If you're concerned about the bitten areas you can put some alcohol on to keep any infection at bay.
What does "I ain't got no freaking idea" means?
''i dont know''
I have no idea where I got scabies from or where to go from here?
Calm down! it's a curable disease :) :) Scabies is almost always spread by protracted skin-to-skin contact with a person who carries the mite. The mites often begin to burrow at the site where they enter the body. Thus, skin transmission during sexual intercourse results in an infestation in the groin area. It is important to point out that scabies is not always a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and may be acquired through casual contact. Less commonly, scabies infestation can happen through the sharing of clothes and bedding. Theoretically, you can get scabies from touching something that the mite is on, but that is not a major mode of transmission. you cannot cure a case of scabies without prescription medication from a doctor, there are certain things you can do at home to keep from re-infesting yourself or your family. - Wash all clothing, towels, and bed linens that you have used in the last three days. Use hot water. You should use the dryer at high heat rather than air drying. Since the mites can survive on nonliving objects for several days, place the objects that are not machine washable (such as coats and stuffed toys) into a bag and store for a week. - Use the medication as prescribed and instructed. Do not use it more than instructed because you risk causing chemical irritation of your skin. - You can also treat itching with antihistamine medications such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), hydroxyzine (Atarax), cetirizine (Zyrtec), and promethazine (Phenergan). - Cut your nails, and clean under them thoroughly to remove any mites or eggs that may be present. - Thoroughly vacuum your rugs, furniture, bedding, and car interior and throw the vacuum-cleaner bag away when finished. - Try to avoid scratching. Keep any open sores clean. you can use permethrin cream it is the strongest :)
