INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look for an oral medication containing pyrantel pamoate. This medicine paralyzes the nervous system of pinworms, forcing them to exit the body in one's stool. Follow label instructions to determine the dosing amount and frequency. This medication should not be used if you have liver problems, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Pyrantel pamoate can interact with other medications and supplements so it's a good idea to ask a doctor or pharmacist if this medicine is safe for you to use before taking it. Individuals with pinworm infestation are often treated with an anti-parasite medication that quickly wipes out adult pinworms. The two most common anti-parasite medications used to treat pinworm infestations are albendazole and mebendazole. Both of these drugs prevent worms from absorbing sugar, thereby causing them to lose energy and die. These drugs may cause mild gastrointestinal upset, including stomach pain and nausea. More severe side effects include a sore throat, fever, unusual bleeding or bruising, shortness of breath, and fatigue. If any unusual side effects appear, stop use and contact your doctor. Your doctor may advise against these prescription treatments for patients who are pregnant or under the age of two years. Ask your doctor for their recommendation on an anti-itch cream safe for use near the anus. You may receive an over-the-counter or prescription cream. Even though the anti-parasite medication will be enough to kill the pinworms, you may still experience itching after the initial round of medication. This can be both uncomfortable and problematic, since eggs may remain in the system even after all matured pinworms have died off. Scratching can spread these eggs, making the matter worse. Your doctor may recommend taking a second round of medication two weeks after the conclusion of the first round. Pinworm symptoms may fade or disappear within the first week of treatment, but these medications only kill adult worms. A second round or "repeat" treatment kills any pinworms that hatch from eggs that were not destroyed by the initial treatment. Although pinworm medication is effective, it's imperative that you and your family observe good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of re-infection and transmission of pinworms. Follow the guidelines in Method 1 to prevent re-infection from occurring and to reduce the risk of transmitting pinworms to other people.

SUMMARY: Purchase an over-the-counter pinworm medicine. Ask your doctor for a prescription anti-parasite medication. Request anti-itch cream. Prepare to take a repeat treatment. Observe good hygiene.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just because it is "on sale" does not mean you need it. This way, you will not deplete your savings, and you will be rewarded for successfully budgeting.

SUMMARY: Continue to be frugal using tips from "How to cut expenses". Avoid splurges at all costs. If you go over your budget one month, be more diligent in cutting your expenses the following month. Use the 10% you set aside, as savings only in emergencies. Start saving money separately from your savings, if you want to go on vacation or make a large purchase. Re-evaluate your income and expenses occasionally, in order to update your budget.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Tell the tenant how you want to receive rent - by mail, in person, or via another method. Each month, accept the rent and deposit it in you account promptly. If necessary, enforce the penalty you laid out for late rent payments. Tell the tenant to text, email or call if something comes up and they need help dealing with it. If it's an emergency situation, be prepared to go to the house and deal with it right away. Otherwise, set up an appointment to come over when it's convenient for both you and the tenant. Plumbing issues and other issues that could become dangerous if they aren't addressed right away fall into the "emergency situation" category. Remember that you can call a contractor to handle situations outside your realm of expertise. If the lease states that you're in charge of lawn maintenance, shoveling snow, and scheduling trash pickups, make sure you take care of your duties in a timely fashion. Keeping up good rapport with your tenants is beneficial to all involved. You own the house, but they're considering it home now. Respect that, and don't enter the house without calling first and letting them know you're coming. Never go through your tenants' private possessions. The laws regarding when you can evict a tenant vary from state to state. In any case, it's a good idea to get a lawyer involved so you use the correct process and obey the law to a T. Tenant/landlord conflicts can end up being extremely costly, so it's important to do everything you can to choose good tenants in the first place.

SUMMARY: Collect rent. Be available to make repairs. Keep up your end of the bargain. Respect your tenants' privacy. Know how to handle an eviction if it comes to that.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Warming up will get your blood flowing and help prevent injury. To warm up, do some cardio exercises like walking or jogging. You should also do some active stretching, like arm circles or arm swings. If pull-ups are hard for you, it may feel natural to "scrunch up" your body while performing them. This can put extra stress on your neck and back muscles, making the entire workout process harder. To avoid this, set your shoulders by pushing them back and keep your spine arched. For those who don't know any better, pull-ups may seem like the ultimate test of arm strength. However, your back muscles are just as important, if not more so. To make your workout easier and more effective, try to use the muscles on your back and around your armpits to help pull yourself up. Specifically, try to engage your latissimus dorsi muscles ("lats") and rear deltoids ("delts"). When performing your pull-ups, try crossing your legs close to the ankles. Though it may seem unimportant, this can reduce some of the pressure in your arms and will make it easier to maintain proper form while exercising. When crossing your legs, you can either bend your knees or keep them straight. Neither will affect the overall routine, so choose whichever option feels best. Assisted pull-ups will allow you to perform the same basic motions you would for an ordinary pull up, but with a little extra help so you can more easily complete the exercise. Since these closely mimic actual pull-ups, they're great for getting your form right before you attempt the real thing. You can do assisted pull ups by: Using a pull-up machine. Looping a resistance band around the bar and your foot to support some of your weight. Standing on a stool with one foot. Asking a partner to hold your feet or legs while you workout.

SUMMARY:
Warm up for 5-10 minutes before you start. Set your shoulders and arch your back. Use the muscles in your back, not just your arms. Cross your legs while working out. Perform assisted pull-ups if you're struggling.
