Problem: Write an article based on this summary: . Wash all towels and bedding in hot water. Wash your clothes daily. Reassess after six weeks.

Answer: lean the house. To prevent reinfestation after treatment, it's vital to thoroughly clean your home the same day you applied the treatment. A scabies mite can live for one to three days off the body. Cleaning will ensure that remaining mites are killed. Disinfect the floor and bathroom surfaces by mopping (you only need to do this after the first treatment). Vacuum floors, carpets, and rugs. Dispose of the bag or contents in an outside trash can immediately and dispose of as quickly as possible. Bleach the mop after each clean. If you can steam clean the carpet. Wash bedding daily until you've not seen new bumps for at least a week. Wear disposable gloves when stripping beds. If you have a heavy comforter, you can place it in an airtight bag for 72 hours. Dry clothing and bedding in a hot dryer or on the clothesline in hot weather under direct sunlight. Dry cleaning is also appropriate. Put blankets in the dryer before bed every night until you're certain the infestation has ceased. Store clothes that you cannot wash in the airtight bag for 72 hours to one week. The same approach will work for stuffed animals, brushes, combs, shoes, coats, gloves, hats, robes, wetsuits, etc. Vacuum bags are widely available that are airtight and take up little space. Bag all clothing the moment you remove it. If you're still itching after six weeks, this can indicate that the treatment has not worked. See your doctor for more advice and new treatment options.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Focus on right now. Increase your awareness. Observe your thoughts. Engage in mindfulness exercises.

Answer: Mindfulness can help increase inner peace. Mindfulness is being aware of the current moment, the here and now, instead of thinking about the future or the past. Thinking of the past may lead to depressed mood or regrets, and thinking about the future can increase anxiety and worry. Being completely present in the current moment can increase your feelings of contentment. Attempt to appreciate the current moment. Find positives about what is going on around you. For example, if you are at home look out the window at the blue sky. What do you appreciate about the sky? What does it look like? Are there clouds, birds, or planes in the sky? Mindfulness is about increasing your awareness of yourself and the world around you. You can become more aware by focusing and taking control of your attention. Take a moment to look around you and notice the objects and people that are near. Focus on one particular object and become aware of what it looks like it's shape, color, texture, and purpose. Then touch that object; Is it soft, hard, or bumpy? Close your eyes and move your hands over the object. What does it feel like? It is cold or warm? What are the new and different things you notice about the object that you didn't before? Notice what thoughts come into your mind, like clouds passing through the sky, without judging, rejecting, or clinging to them. Simply let them pass through your mind. When you have a thought, notice it, and then let it go. One way to let go of thoughts is through visualization. Close your eyes and visualize a stream with leaves flowing down it. As you think a thought that is negative, place that thought on a leaf and watch it run down the stream until you cannot see it anymore. Mindfulness techniques are a great way to practice mindfulness. One mindfulness technique is where you eat a piece of food (fruit, chocolate, etc.). Instead of just popping it into your mouth and chewing, start by observing the color and texture of the food, and then biting off a small piece. Eat that piece very slowly and notice how it tastes and feels in your mouth. Go on a mindfulness walk. This means you go for a walk, and while you are walking you notice everything that is going on in your mind, as well as around you. You can observe your own physical body in action and what is feels like to move (in your muscles, arms, legs). You can find many more mindfulness exercises online by conducting a google search, or locating videos on YouTube.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Assess the damage. Use lemon. Try whitening toothpaste for the small, uneven patches. Use acetone or rubbing alcohol.

Answer: If your tan is even but too deep or orange-colored, then your removal method will be a little different than if you are dealing with streaks. We'll cover overall tone in the next section if your self-tanner has left you looking less "ooh la la!" and more "oompa loompa." But for now let's concentrate on those patches and unfortunate streaks. It purportedly gets rid of freckles, right? If it can get rid of permanent marks on your skin, it can definitely get rid of temporary self-tanner. It's best for that random streak, on your palms, or little places you just got a little over-zealous with. There are two ways you can get your lemon on: Combine a couple tablespoons of lemon juice with baking soda to form a paste. Slather it over the affected area, leave it on for a few minutes, and wash it off while gently rubbing. Cut the lemon in half and rub one section over the affected area. If it's really bad, it may take more than once, but you should see improvements just about automatically. Those little crevices between your fingers? A self-tanner's nightmare. To get at those little pesky nooks and crannies, try whitening toothpaste. It has the same bleaching agents in it as everything else, which work on your teeth and skin. This obviously works best for small, confined areas. Put a dab on your finger and massage it into the area. Scrub it off and assess your results, repeating if necessary. Acetone is known as nail polish remover, by the way. Take your cotton ball, saturate it, and rub it over the area. Use this method sparingly, however; the stuff can be quite hard on your skin if used unyieldingly. If you do go this route, be sure to moisturize afterward. Your body will be craving the hydration after being exposed to either of those two products.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize your worries and move on. Categorize and challenge your worries. Make your worries boring. Accept uncertainty and imperfection. Think about social influences. Live in the moment.

Answer:
Sometimes, trying to suppress your worries seems to just make them worse. So, don't try to ignore your worries. When they pop into your head, accept them, but then try to move on. It is hard to avoid thinking about something you are actively trying not to think about. Writing your worries down or setting a designated "worry time" can be very helpful in letting them pass. When you do think about your worries, a good way to process them is to categorize them. Specifically, for each try to determine the following: Is this problem one you can solve, or not? If a worry is about a problem you have the power to fix, the best remedy may be to start fixing it. Once you have a plan to fix the problem, you will be less worried. If you cannot solve the problem, accept it, work through it and move on. Is this worry about something that is likely, or unlikely, to happen? A worry about something that is likely to happen may indeed be troubling. On the other hand, if you decide it is not likely to occur, this can be a first step in letting that worry go. Is this worry about something about something really bad, or not? Think about what it is that you are worried might happen. If it did occur, how bad would it really be? Most things we worry about aren't actually that terrible. If you decide it wouldn't be a catastrophe, this can help you let go. That's doubly true if it also isn't that likely to happen! Throughout this process, try to think rationally. Ask yourself what evidence you have that your worry is a realistic one. Think about what you might tell a friend who had the same worry. Try to imagine the most likely outcome, rather than the worst-case scenario. If there is a specific worry that bothers you often, you can try to make it boring, so your brain will return to it less often. Do this by repeating it in your head again and again for several minutes. For example, if you worry that you might get in a car accident, repeat in your head the words "I might get in a car accident, I might get in a car accident." In the short term, this may increase you anxiety. But, after a little while, the words will lose their power and become boring to you. Chances are, they'll stop popping up in your mind so often after that. An important change in your thinking is accepting that life is unpredictable and imperfect. This is key to stopping worries in the long term. A good place to start this change is with a writing exercise. Jot down your answers to these questions: Is it possible to be certain about everything that might happen? In what way is needing certainty helpful to you? Do you tend to predict bad things will happen just because you are uncertain? Is that reasonable? Can you live with the possibility that a bad thing might happen, if that outcome is not likely? When worries come to mind, try to remind yourself of your answers to these questions. Emotions can be contagious. If you spend a lot of time with other worriers, or people who make you anxious, you may want to reconsider how much time you are spending with those people. Spend some time thinking about the people you spend time with, and how they affect you. It may even be helpful to keep a "worry diary" that tracks when you worry most. If you find that it's right after seeing a certain person, you may decided you need to spend less time with him or her. Or, you might decide there are certain topics you don't wish to discuss with this person any more. Changing your social circle can change the way you think. Most worries rise from fears about the future, rather than our immediate surroundings. Focusing on you surroundings and the moment you are experiencing can be a good way to shut down worries. Some people recommend a "stop, look, listen" technique. In this approach, when you are worrying, stop and recognize the worry. Take a deep breath. Then, look at your surroundings. Spend five minutes focusing on the details of the world around you. As you do so, speak calmly and reassure yourself that things will work out.
