Answer: For the most part, caulking isn't a terribly dangerous activity. You're unlikely to endanger yourself or others while caulking. This being said, there are things you can do to improve your (already very good) chances of finishing your caulking job unscathed. The first is to ensure that your work area is properly ventilated. Setting up a fan and/or opening windows improves the flow of air through your work area, which can disperse the odor and fumes that wet caulk can give off. This is especially important for silicone-based caulk, which has the strongest odor. If you're working outside, you don't usually need to worry about this. Caulk isn't dangerous or caustic like certain substances used for other home improvement projects its very purpose is essentially to be as inert as possible. However, it is very sticky and hard to remove from skin and clothing (especially once it dries), so you may want to wear gloves when you work with caulk to keep it off of your fingers and sleeves. This also gives the benefit of making clean-up very quick and easy. You may also want to wear goggles or protective eyewear, as caulk can be painful if splashed into the eyes (though this is unlikely). The one time that you're most likely to hurt yourself while caulking is, ironically, before you're using caulk. As you cut the tip off of your caulk cartridge, take caution to ensure you don't cut yourself. If you're using a knife, be sure to hold the cartridge with your other hand away from the tip. Always cut away from your body never towards it. When you're not using your knife or scissors, store it safely away from your work area. Finally, it bears mentioning that, although caulk is fairly harmless, it is not meant to be consumed or inhaled and can cause serious health problems if it is. If you or someone you know accidentally consumes caulk, call a poison control center immediately for guidance. Be sure to wash your hands after caulking to ensure you don't accidentally consume caulk while eating, drinking, coughing, and so on.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try some intensive physical therapy. Consult a podiatrist. Talk to your doctor about surgical options.

Answer: If your flat feet have some flexibility in them (not rigid) and they are caused primarily by weak or tight tendons / ligaments, then you should consider some form of rehabilitation. A physiotherapist can show you specific and tailored stretches and strengthening exercises for your feet, Achilles tendons and calf muscles that can help to restore your arch and make it more functional. Physiotherapy is usually required 2-3x per week for 4-8 weeks to positively impact chronic foot problems. A common stretch for tight Achilles tendons involves placing your hands against a wall with one leg at a time outstretched behind you in a lunge-like position. Make sure you keep the outstretched foot flat on the floor to feel a stretch above your heels. Hold for about 30 seconds and repeat five to 10 times daily. A physiotherapist can tape your foot with sturdy tape that can help relieve symptoms by providing a temporary artificial arch. A physiotherapist can also treat inflamed and tender arches (called plantar fasciitis and a common complication of flat feet) with therapeutic ultrasound. A podiatrist is a foot specialist who is familiar with all conditions and diseases of the feet, including pes planus. A podiatrist will examine your foot and try to determine if your flat feet are congenital (hereditary and from birth) or acquired as an adult. They will also look for any bone trauma (fractures or displacements), possibly with the help of x-rays. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and the cause of your flat feet, the podiatrist may recommend simple palliative care (rest, ice and anti-inflammatories during flare-ups), orthotic therapy, casting or bracing the foot, or some form of surgery. Adult-acquired flat feet affects women four times as often as men and tends to occur in later years (around 60). X-rays are great for seeing bone problems, but they are not diagnostic for soft tissue issues, such as those of the tendons and ligaments. Your podiatrist is trained for relatively minor operations of the feet, but more complex surgeries are typically the domain of orthopedic surgeons. If your flat feet are causing you lots of problems and not significantly helped by supportive shoes, orthotics, weight loss or intensive physical therapy, then ask your family physician about potential surgical options. Your doctor may use a CT scan, MRI or diagnostic ultrasound to get a better idea of the soft tissues of your foot. For severe cases of highly rigid flat feet, especially if caused by tarsal coalition (an abnormal fusion of two or more bones in the foot), then surgery recommendation is highly likely. Surgery is also recommended for chronically tight Achilles tendons (typically a simple procedure to lengthen the tendon) or overly lax posterior tibial tendons (via tendon reduction or shortening). Your family doctor is not a foot, bone or joint specialist, so you will likely be referred to an orthopedic surgeon if surgery is required. Surgeons typically operate on one foot at a time so as not to incapacitate the patient and impact their lives too significantly. Possible complications from surgery include: failure of fused bones to heal, infections, reduced ankle / foot range of motion, chronic pain. Recovery times for surgery vary depending on the procedure (whether bones need to be broken or fused, tendons severed, or ligaments altered), but can last several months. Diseases that are contributive factors for flat feet include diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ligament laxity diseases such as Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use shampoo daily. Avoid known irritants. Let your scalp breathe. Brush/comb your hair daily. Consider cutting your hair.

Answer:
Some people only wash their hair every few days, but if you suffer from frequent outbreaks of scalp pimples, that may not be enough. Instead, try to shampoo your hair every day. This may help reduce the amount of oils in your hair, which can reduce the chances of having a pimple outbreak along the scalp. You may even want to use a clarifying shampoo or alternate a clarifying shampoo with your regular shampoo. Pimples on the scalp are often caused by a buildup of hair products, dead skin cells, and oils, and a clarifying shampoo will be more effective at removing these. Try avoiding conditioner to see if that improves your scalp as well. Conditioners help moisturize hair, which may cause too much oil/grease to be trapped against the scalp. If you find yourself experiencing frequent scalp pimples and you wash your hair on a daily basis, the problem may be stemming from something you put into your hair. Try to avoid using hairstyling products and see if that clears up your scalp. Once you've identified the cause, you can try experimenting with different types of hairstyling products to see if the ingredients in those products are compatible with your skin. Try using products that are water-based, or look for products labeled as noncomedogenic, meaning they're less likely to clog your pores and cause an acne outbreak. Avoid putting hair products too close to the hairline. It's okay to use hair gel or pomade, for example, but try to apply it only to the main strands of hair without letting it touch the scalp or hairline. Some people prone to scalp pimples who wear baseball caps or sports gear (like a helmet) have an increased prevalence of heat/friction/pressure acne, sometimes called acne mechanica. If you believe that wearing a hat or helmet might be causing your scalp acne, try letting your scalp breathe more often. Or, if you must wear protective covering on your head, make sure you wear an absorbent headband or hair cover underneath your helmet. Showering immediately after removing your hat/helmet and using shampoo may also reduce the incidence of scalp pimples. Brushing or combing your hair helps remove dead skin cells and breaks apart hair strands that have been joined by your scalp's natural oils. This can help prevent acne by both removing the skin cells that may have clogged your pores and separating the strands of hair that may have otherwise held oils trapped against your scalp. If you're prone to scalp pimples, cutting your hair to a more manageable length and thickness may help reduce outbreaks. Having shorter and/or thinner hair can help decrease how much hair is holding oil, dirt, and bacteria against your pores.
