Problem: Article: All dogs need a monthly roundworm preventative, especially those who have had roundworms. Roundworm preventatives are often combined with heartworm preventatives to make it easy for dog owners to protect their dogs from disease. Since roundworm eggs are very hardy and can remain in the environment for a long time, do not stop administering the preventative when it gets cold outside. Even with a monthly preventative, you should have your dog screened for roundworms once or twice a year after his first year of life. Roundworm eggs are resistant to disinfectants or any other products you may put in your grass to try to kill them. To keep the eggs from staying in the environment and possibly re-infecting your dog, pick up and throw away your dog's feces immediately. Children are especially susceptible to roundworm infections, so pick up your dog's feces if he goes to the bathroom in a playground or around sandboxes where children play. Roundworm eggs become infective after one to three weeks of being in the environment. Roundworms are a public health issue, since they can cause disease (visceral larval migrans and ocular larval migrans) in humans. These diseases are rare, but can be serious. If you have children, make sure they wash their hands frequently and properly. Wash your own hands frequently and properly as well, since you are most likely the one who is picking up your dog's feces. When your children play outside, keep them from areas where your dog or other dogs normally defecate. If they do play in an area where dogs frequent, make sure they wash their hands when they come back inside and before they handle food. While they are outside, do not let them put their hands by their mouths, since this could cause them to swallow roundworm eggs.
Summary: Give your dog a monthly preventative. Pick up your dog's feces promptly. Practice strict hygiene. Keep your children away from your dog's feces.

Problem: Article: If you're not experiencing intense symptoms, uncomfortable sensations such as jittery feelings will pass on their own. One way to handle them at home is drinking more water. This will help flush caffeine out of your system and rehydrate your body. Try to drink a glass of water for every cup of cup of coffee, soda, or other caffeinated beverage you consumed. Healthy snacks can help slow caffeine absorption. Try having something to eat if you feel uncomfortable after consuming too much caffeine. Try high fiber fruits and vegetables. Things like bell peppers, celery, and cucumbers can be particularly helpful. To slow a rapid heartbeat from too much caffeine, take series of deep breaths. Breathing in and out slowly for a few minutes can reduce symptoms right away, relieving some of the discomfort associated with overdoing it on caffeine. Remember, for severe difficulty breathing, call poison control or go to the emergency room. Caffeine can actually help prep your body for a big workout. Try taking advantage of consuming too much caffeine by using it to get active. If you do a daily workout, or go to the gym each day, do that when you start to feel discomfort over consuming too much caffeine. If you don't workout regularly, try going for a walk or jog if you have time. This may lessen some unwanted effects of caffeine.
Summary: Drink water. Have some healthy snacks. Take some deep breaths. Get active.

Problem: Article: Hulled sunflower seeds those without shells will sprout more quickly. If you can only gather unhulled sunflower seeds, collect these in a bowl and allow them to soak overnight. In the morning, toss the seeds then pour them into a strainer. Try to pick out hulls as you go. Do not worry if some hulls remain. Place the sunflower seeds in a large, open-mouth jar such as a canning jar or something slightly larger. Fill the jar with water so that the seeds float on top. During this period, the seeds should begin to sprout. Wait until the seeds have nearly doubled in size and the sprout has begun to emerge. When sprouting sunflower seeds, always periodically check them so that you do not allow them to soak for too long. Make sure to cover the jar again. Let them sit in the jar, in a warm or room temperature location with no direct sunlight, for one to three days until they've finished sprouting. Rinse them and return them to the jar one or two times a day until they are done. You can also use a special sprouting bag instead of the original jar. Place the sprouting seeds into the sprouting bag and hang it over a sink or other area to allow draining. Continue to rinse every five hours or so. When they've started to sprout and look like little V's, they're ready to eat. Rinse the sprouts you plan to eat and store the remaining sprouts in your refrigerator to enjoy later.
Summary: Buy or gather some raw, unsalted, hulled sunflower seeds. Place the seeds in a jar. Add water. Allow the jar to sit for about eight hours. Rinse and return them to the jar. Wait. Enjoy!

Problem: Article: If you've moved recently, the mail can take a while to catch up with you. Make sure you call the USPS or fill out the online form to keep your address current. Often, changing your address will reenlist you in various solicitation mailers you've previously opted out of. You may have to re-do them if you start getting mailers you've canceled. You should not receive mail if the mail or the accompanying card is not addressed to you, but some bulk sales circulars may continue arriving on "auto-pilot" after you have canceled them. Remind your letter carrier politely that this matter is not addressed to you. If you are getting first class mail for a former resident, you can write Return to Sender/Not at this address on the envelope and drop that envelope back in the mailbox. Mail a copy of the death certificate to each of them: Equifax P.O. Box 105069 Atlanta, GA 30348 Experian P.O. Box 9530 Allen, TX 75013 TransUnion P.O. Box 6790 Fullerton, CA 92634 ).
