Marginal zinc deficiency is relatively common, with about 2 billion people worldwide affected. Marginal deficiency results in poor growth, poor physical and mental development, and increased risk of infections. There are a number of risk factors for marginal zinc deficiency including: Premature and low-birth-weight infants or older breast-fed infants and toddlers who do not get enough zinc-rich foods Children and adolescents Pregnant and breastfeeding women, especially younger women Patients receiving a form of intravenous feedings known as total parenteral nutrition Malnourished or undernourished children and adults People with severe or chronic diarrhea Individuals with malabsorption syndromes or digestive and liver disorders People with Celiac disease, short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis Alcoholics with alcoholic liver disease Individuals with chronic renal disease and sickle cell anemia Older adults (over 65 years) Individuals on specific medications that interfere with the absorption or function of zinc Strict vegetarians Severe zinc deficiency is relatively rare. It is usually the result of a rare genetic disease called acrodermatitis enteropathica. In these cases, symptoms include slow growth and development, delayed sexual maturation, skin rashes, severe diarrhea, deficiencies of the immune system, poor wound healing, poor taste sensation and poor appetite and clouding of the cornea. If you believe you have this disease, go see your doctor for tests. Though zinc is important for your body's overall health, you want to make sure you get the right amount. It is difficult to overdose with food alone usually an overdose occurs from taking too many supplements and/or taking supplements in addition to a high-zinc diet. Excess zinc can cause significant health problems including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, cramps, diarrhea and headaches. High levels of zinc can interfere with copper and iron levels and this can cause copper and iron deficiency anemias. Always talk to your doctor and be aware the some multivitamins may include zinc.

Before treating your carpet, remove any dried on spills, blot away wetness, and dab soap on noticeable stains. You want your carpet to be in its best state before treating the smell. The baking soda will work to neutralize the odors that are trapped in the carpet. You should create a thin coat of baking soda, so get a large box of baking soda for each room that you plan to treat. If it clumps in spots, use your hand to spread it out. You can also add Borax to baking soda for better results. Simply measure one part baking soda with one part Borax and mix well. Add a few drops of an essential oil if you'd like it to be scented. Then use as you would baking soda. The recommended wait time is several hours, but if you have really bad carpet odors, then you may want to let it sit overnight. Keep pets and children away from the area. Monitor your vacuum cleaner bag or canister because baking soda can quickly fill it. Empty it out as necessary. If baking soda alone doesn't work, you can make your own deep cleaning treatment with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of hydrogen peroxide, cup (59 milliliters) of baking soda, 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of liquid soap, and 1 quart (1 liter) of water. Mix the ingredients together in an open container. Test it on a hidden area of your carpet before using it on the whole carpet. Use gloves when handling this treatment. DO NOT put a lid on the treatment once it's mixed. Spraying is better because it provides an even coat, but remember to leave the nozzle open and avoid leaving unused treatment in a closed spray bottle. When pouring be careful not to saturate the carpet. Remember to wear your gloves, especially if you pour the treatment. The treatment needs time to work, so leave it untouched. While you want to ventilate the room, keep it secure from pets and children. If any wet areas remain, use an old or white towel to remove it. Let the remaining wetness air dry.

If you get to the lowest concentration of chemicals and still see a reaction, do not do the chemical peel. If you have any signs of an allergic reaction, like itching or hives, do not use the chemical peel. Apply the peel with a Q-tip using your fingers may make your fingers peel.
