Not the CD just the word hehehe
Better Move is to tilt your head so that the waterlogged ear faces down. Place the tip of your index finger in the cup-like spot at the bottom of your ear, and position your thumb behind the ear on the cartilage above your earlobe. Hold firmly and wiggle your ear to straighten the ear canal and dislodge the water.
MY SAY usually I just swing my head left and right
Campfire or grill smoke is dangerous
Verdict True
The smoke’s particulates can damage your lungs, says A.James Mamary, M.D., of the Temple lung center.
Protect Yourself stay upwind and you’ll be fine.
MY SAY hmmm…I always think campfire is fun..dangerous?Naaa…
Don’t drink from a hose – IT’S GERMY
Verdict Partly True
“No germs live specifically in garden hoses,” says Charles Gerba, Ph.D., a professor of environmental science at the University of Arizona. However, the hose’s end may have rested in animal poop.
Stay Safe keep your lips off the hose. Or go inside the house, for cripes’ sake!
MY SAY lols with the Ph.D’s statement and yes why don’t you go to the nearest 7Es to get your self a nice mineral water for crying out loud
Dunk an open wound into the sea because saltwater helps heal
Verdict False
The sea is full of bacteria, which can enter your cut and cause sores and fever.
Clean Fast Spit on it.”A digestive enzyme in saliva can clean wounds and kill microorganisms,: says dermatology professor Adnan Nasir, M.D., of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Then apply a waterproof or liquid bandage to block bacteria.
MY SAY dunk open wound into the saltwater…emmm..ouchh?
Scratching a bug bite makes it worse
Verdict True
Light Scratching inflames immune-system messenger proteins at the site, intensifying the itch, says Dr.Nasir.
Cool It Down hold a chilled drink or an ice cube on the bite. “Low temperatures slow the body’s chemical reactions and make the skin’s itch signals travel sluggishly to the brain,” says Dr.Nasir. For nagging bites, use any antiseptic solution, which calms itches with camphor.
MY SAY but i like to scratch it…scratch gooood
Don’t swim within 30 minutes of eating
Verdict True
More blood is drawn to your GI tract after eating, which can cause minor cramps, says Christine Carter-Kent, M.D., a gastroenterologist with the Cleveland Clinic.
Feel It Better if you swim and feel ill, sit and wait it out.
MY SAY burpp…hey let’s go deep into the water…emmm..sorry I’cant swim hehehe
