INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since it has a high smoke point and mild flavor, coconut oil is a great choice for a variety of cooking methods. If you're sauteing or pan frying, use an equal amount of coconut oil as whatever other fat the recipe calls for (butter, olive oil, vegetable oil, etc.). To roast vegetables with coconut oil, melt 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of the oilor whatever amount your recipe calls forover low heat in a small saucepan, then drizzle it over your veggies on the roasting pan. Season and roast the vegetables according to your chosen recipe. Simply make your hot beverage of choice as usual, then stir in 1 tsp (5 ml) of coconut oil before adding any cream or sweetener. The hot liquid will quickly melt the congealed oil. The coconut oil will create a bit of an oily texture (especially on the surface) and impart a mild flavor to the beverage. If you don't care for the results, try replacing half of the coconut oil with unsalted butter (or just cut back on the coconut oil and don't substitute anything else).

Coconut oil tastes great with smoothies that use bananas and other tropical fruits. If your baking recipe calls for another liquid oil, like canola or vegetable oil, use an equal amount of melted coconut oil. You probably won't notice any difference in flavor or texture. If you want to substitute coconut oil for a solid fat like shortening, butter, or margarine, use a 1:1 ratio of congealed coconut oil and the other solid fat, but add only 75% of the amount called for in the recipe. For instance, instead of 4 tbsp (60 ml) of butter, add 3 tbsp (45 ml) total of coconut oil and butter1.5 tbsp (~23 ml) of each. Coconut oil will soften to a spreadable consistency as it approaches 76F (24C), at which point you can easily spread it onto a muffin or corn-on-the-cob. It provides a nice change of pace to the taste of butter! Or, try melting 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) of coconut oil and drizzling it over your popcorn!

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: every four to six hours. You don't have to do this immediately as soon as four hours have passed, but try not to let it go for longer than six. Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an extremely rare but potentially fatal consequence of leaving a tampon in for too long. If you've accidentally left a tampon in for more than eight hours and you're suddenly experiencing a high fever, a sudden rash, or vomiting, pull out the tampon and get medical help immediately. . Removing a tampon might seem painful, but it is not. Take a few deep breaths, loosen up, and remember that it's maybe going to be uncomfortable but not painful. . You might feel some slight friction from the cotton fibers as the tampon comes out, but it shouldn't be that painful. If you're queasy at the thought of grabbing the string with your bare fingers, do it with a square of toilet paper. If you do feel some catching and resistance as you pull the tampon out, it's probably because it's dry. Switch to a lighter absorbency to solve the problem. If it's too dry, use some water so that it does not stick. Some tampons are specifically designed to be flushable, so they spread apart and move easily through the pipes. However, if you're dealing with a low-flow toilet, a septic tank arrangement, or you know there have been problems with clogging in the past, it's safest to just wrap it in a wad of toilet paper and throw it away.

SUMMARY:
Change out your tampon Relax Slowly tug the string at the end of the tampon Dispose of the tampon.
