How much BORAX does it take to harm kittens?
I have 6 week old kittens I found outside covered in fleas. I have since gotten rid of the problem on the kittens and treated my area rugs (short pile) with a mixture of BORAX and salt. (a flea remedy I found here and on many other sites) It worked great and I was very careful to make sure all the excess powder was vaccummed up entirely before I let the kittens back in the room. Well, since that day I have to vaccum everyday because the BORAX keeps working its way up to the surface of the rug. I am scared the kittens might ingest a little of the BORAX if I can't get it vacummed in time. It is always only a very small amount of granuals that work their way to the surface...BUT I AM SCARED! Has anyone tried this method and how long until the BORAX works itself all the way out of the carpet? Can the kittens handle a little of it or none at all?
What is a list of animals sorted by average body temperature?
Here's a short list of normal rectal temperature ranges for a few animals commonly treated by veterinarians. I've done the work of sorting them for you.Here you are, in descending order, sorted by the highest temperature in the reported range.Chicken 40.6–43.0 C 105.0–109.4 FRabbit 38.6–40.1 C 101.5–104.2 FSheep 38.3–39.9 C 100.9–103.8 FPig 38.7–39.8 C 101.6–103.6 FGoat 38.5–39.7 C 101.3–103.5 FDog 37.9–39.9 C 100.2–103.8 FDairy cow 38.0–39.3 C 100.4–102.8 FCat 38.1–39.2 C 100.5–102.5 FBeef cow 36.7–39.1 C 98.0–102.4 FHorse 37.3–38.2 C 99.1–100.8 FAnd here, sorted by the lowest temperature in range.Chicken 40.6–43.0 C 105.0–109.4 FRabbit 38.6–40.1 C 101.5–104.2 FPig 38.7–39.8 C 101.6–103.6 FGoat 38.5–39.7 C 101.3–103.5 FSheep 38.3–39.9 C 100.9–103.8 FCat 38.1–39.2 C 100.5–102.5 FDairy cow 38.0–39.3 C 100.4–102.8 FDog 37.9–39.9 C 100.2–103.8 FHorse 37.3–38.2 C 99.1–100.8 FBeef cow 36.7–39.1 C 98.0–102.4 FSource: Merck Manual.Normal Rectal Temperature RangesTheir source was described as follows.Adapted from Robertshaw, D., Temperature Regulation and Thermal Environment, in Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals, 12th ed., Reece W.O., Ed. Copyright 2004 by Cornell University.I don't see any obvious patterns, except that the one bird on the list is hotter than all the rest, which are mammals, and the very large mammals seem to come out on the lower end.Here is some more extensive analysis which seems to confirm a relationship exists between mass and body temperature.Scaling of body temperature in mammals and birdsAmong mammals, which I believe are generally homeotherms, placental mammals have higher temperatures than marsupials, who in turn have higher body temperatures than monotremes.Depending on what you're trying to do with this info it might make sense to first make a broad division between homeotherms, poikilotherms, and heterotherms, or to make some phylogenetic breakdown.Animalia in general is a very broad grouping to look at.I can't find a large database ... data seems to spread around in mostly small studies.
What is the difference between Christianity and Jehovah's Witness?
I do not think you understand much of what the Jehovah's Witnesses are, or are doing by going door to door, and spreading the good news all around the world. We are simply following Jesus command at Matthew 28:19. And fulfilling Matthew 24:14. For real information, see http://www.watchtower.org/ that is one of our official websites. The others are: http://www.jw-media.org/ and http://www.jw.org/ .....any others are not sanctioned by the Christian Witnesses of Jehovah. .
Does anything eat mosquitoes,fleas,and other insects that are useless to humans...?
they annoy us or our pets and carry illnesses and ill never seen or heard of any animal dat feeds on dem ......if not in the food chain then wat is der purpose??
Why did humans start covering their "private parts" and when?
Based on genetic skin-colouration research, humans lost body hair around 1 million years ago, an ideal time to start wearing clothes for warmth. Eyed needles started appearing around 40,000 years ago, but these tools point to more complex clothing, meaning clothes had already been around for a while.A recent University of Florida study [1] concluded humans started wearing clothes 170,000 years ago, and they figured this date out by studying the evolution of lice.Clothing lice are well-adapted to clothing; body lice must have evolved to live in clothing, so they weren’t around before we started wearing clothes. DNA sequencing of lice was used to calculate when the clothing lice started to genetically split from head lice.These findings are significant as they show clothing appeared 70,000 years before humans started to migrate north from Africa into cooler climates; the invention of clothing may have been a factor allowing migration to be possible.Modern humans probably started to wear clothes on a regular basis to keep warm when exposed to the Ice Age conditions.Then more recent ancient civilisations like the Ancient Egyptians and Chinese discovered many materials they could fashion into clothing.As for clothing for fashion, this may have occurred earlier on: the first example of dyed flax fibres were found in a cave (Dzudzuana) in the Republic of Georgia, dating back to 36,000 years ago. These could have been used to make linen clothes in a range of colours. [2] [3]We could have worn clothes to compensate for the loss of fur.Neanderthals existed in Europe long before modern humans did, and we both evolved from common ancestor Homo heidelbergensis. If Neanderthals wore clothes, clothes were invented more than once and they invented them before we did.
