    Bad problem with a crummy subject - cesspool.

    Bad problem with a crummy subject - cesspool.

Over the summer, I replaced the old, improperly installed toilet with a brand new, dual flush water saving unit and thought maybe...

    Mexican Wild Yams and Birth Control

    Yes, you are correct about use in malaria. It also has been used for leg cramps, but that use is unapproved by the FDA. Never been proven to be safe and effective for that use and around 2006 they ordered a bunch of quinine products off the market.

    Portuguese Man-Of-War

    No need to panic, most minor stings can be self-treated without medical attention, however use common sense. If within 30 to 60 minutes, if anaphylaxic signs appear, by all means seek help.

    Portuguese Man-Of-War

    As a person who has had considerable training and internship in Poison Control Centers, I can tell you that there are no conclusive reasearch studies that have proved that urine or ammonia has any value whatsoever in relieving jellyfish stings.
