Tea tree oil is a natural essential oil with effective antibacterial properties. It is also an astringent, which means it can help to dry out the blister. Use a q-tip to dab a little of the oil onto a drained or lanced blister once a day, before applying a fresh bandage. Apply cider vinegar is a traditional home remedy for many minor ailments, including blisters. It can be used to ward off infection, thanks to its antibacterial properties. Apple cider vinegar can sting a lot, so you may want to dilute it to half strength with water before using a q-tip to dab it on the blister. Aloe vera is a plant whose sap has soothing and healing properties. It is a natural anti-inflammatory and moisturizer, making it a great option for blisters caused by burns. To use, break off a leaf from the plant and rub the clear, gel-like sap over and around the blister. This is especially useful once the blister has popped, as it will speed up the healing process. Green tea has natural anti-inflammatory properties, so soaking the blistered skin in a bowl or basin of cooled green tea can help to soothe swollen or inflamed skin around the blister. Vitamin E allows the skin to heal faster and helps to prevent scarring. It can be found in both oil and cream form at the drugstore. Simply smooth a little over the blistered skin each day to promote healing. Chamomile has soothing qualities and can help to ease the pain of a swollen blister. Make a strong cup of chamomile tea, allowing it to brew for five to six minutes. Once it has cooled slightly, dip a clean washcloth into the tea until soaked, then wring out the excess moisture. Press this warm compress against the blister for about ten minutes, or until the pain subsides. Epsom salts help to dry out an unpopped blister and encourage it to drain. Simply dissolve some Epsom salts in a hot bath and allow the blister to soak. Be careful though, once the blister has burst the Epsom salts will sting.

Q: However you design your birdfeeder, you will need some basic materials: an empty, cleaned, and dry gallon or half-gallon plastic milk jug, some string or wire, scissors, and bird food (birdseed, sunflower seeds, millet, etc.). Depending on your design, you might also want to gather: Dowels or sticks to use as perches (these should be a few inches wider than the jug) Markers, paints, leaves and glue, or other materials to decorate the feeder An aluminum pie plate to use as a bottom Using a marker, draw a shape on a side of the milk jug away from its handle. It should be positioned a couple of inches from the bottom of the jug, so that it covers the middle of the jug's side. This shape will mark the opening where the birds will be able to access the food inside. You can draw a circle, a semi-circle, square, or any other shape that a bird could enter to reach food inside the feeder. A hole between two and four inches wide is sufficient for many common birds. If your jug is large enough, you can cut another hole or two (of the same size) on its other sides. Using the scissors or another sharp implement, carefully poke a small hole in the jug somewhere along the outline you drew on its side. Then, using the scissors, carefully cut along the line you marked until you cut the circle entirely off of the jug, leaving an opening about three inches wide. If you marked places for other openings on your jug, cut those away too. If you want your milk jug bird feeder to have a perch for birds to stand on as they eat, then you can use a dowel or stick to easily add one. Use a hole punch, scissors, or some other instrument to puncture the jug about a half-inch below the opening, and then again on the other side. The hole should not be any larger than your dowel or stick is wide. Repeat this step if you have more than one perch. Instead of a dowel or stick as a perch, you could glue an aluminum pie plate to the bottom of your milk jug feeder. This can give birds something to perch on as they feed. If you use a pie plate, you do not need to punch the small holes in the sides of the jug. Take the dowel or stick you want to use as a perch, and carefully insert it into one of the small holes you punched. Push the perch through until it passes through the small hole on the opposite side of the jug. Adjust the perch until it sticks out approximately the same amount (a few inches is fine) on both sides. Repeat this step if you have more than one perch. You will need to create some sort of loop or hook that you can use to hang your jug outside. There are several ways to do this, depending on the materials you have. Make sure to leave some of the material dangling to use later when you hang the feeder (the exact length depends on where you will hang the feeder). You can: Punch a small hole through the cap of the milk jug. Then feed string or ribbon through the hole, and tie a knot on the inside of the cap so that the string won't slip through. Then, you can take the other end of the string and tie to a branch or hook outside to hang your bird feeder. You can also punch a hole in the cap of the milk jug and use wire or a coat hanger instead of string. Another method is to punch a small hole near the top of the jug (just below the cap), and then another on the opposite side. You can then pass string, ribbon, or wire through the two holes and use this to hang the feeder. You an also just wrap string, wire, or ribbon around the neck of the jug, if it is secure enough.
A: Gather the materials you need. Mark at least one opening on the jug. Use scissors to cut away the opening you marked on the jug. Puncture holes for the perch(es), if applicable. Add the perch(es) to the jug. Prepare your jug for hanging.

Article: Temperatures higher than this allow bacteria the chance to grow and multiply. Use a thermometer to test the temperature if your fridge doesn't have an inbuilt thermometer. Place the thermometer in the fridge and leave the door closed for 5 minutes. Take the thermometer out after the 5 minutes are up and check the reading. There's no need to remove the packaging for this step as it actually helps the sausages defrost faster and more evenly while in the fridge. If you already removed the packaging, you can wrap the sausages in plastic wrap before placing them in the fridge.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Test to make sure the temperature of the fridge is below 5C (41F). Leave the sausages in their packaging.
