Problem: Article: It sounds messy, and it IS messy. But inserting yogurt into your vagina is a way of re-populating the vagina with harmless bacteria that may be able to "crowd out" the parasite. However, there are no scientific studies that indicate this. , , , Use plain yogurt and a 10 mL syringe (you can buy this syringe at your local pharmacy). Every night, fill the syringe with the plain yogurt and fill your vagina by inserting the syringe and depressing the plunger. Go to bed as usual, but wear a sanitary pad. The messiness comes in the morning when you get out of bed. You should also wear a thin pad during the day. Repeat every night until the symptoms disappear. You can also use a tampon coated with yogurt, but tampons without the applicator can be difficult and uncomfortable to insert. A probiotic will help replenish good bacteria in your body. , , Probiotic capsules can be expensive and can be found in most groceries and drugstores. Use gelcap suppositories, since hard suppositories may not be as effective. Buy a brand that has Bifidobacterium longum; Lactobacillus rhamnosus; Bifidobacterium infantis; Lactobacillus acidophilus; or Lactobacillus reuteri HA-188. There is not a lot of evidence showing if probiotics as a supplement or in yogurt are helpful in preventing trichomoniasis. Use Curasept periodontal gel and apply in and around the vagina. Curasept contains 0.5% cyclohexadiene, a disinfectant which has been shown to be effective in treating BV. A whole clove of peeled garlic can be inserted into the vagina and has been reported to be helpful in treating BV. . This is because the garlic contains allicin, which is a natural antibiotic that fights BV. Peel a clove of garlic. Poke some holes in the garlic so that the allicin can be released. Insert the clove into your vagina. Replace the garlic every four hours for seven days or until symptoms have disappeared. Boric acid can be irritating, so you shouldn't make your own suppository. Do not directly apply it to the vagina. Look for Vitanica Yeast Arrest, found in many health food stores. This product is specially formulated for vaginal yeast infections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage. You must not be the recipient of oral sex while using boric acid because boric acid is poisonous to your partner.
Summary: Try plain yogurt. Replenish good bacteria with a probiotic suppository. Use periodontal gel. Try a clove of garlic. Treat a yeast infection with a boric acid suppository.

Problem: Article: Depending on the size of the concert venue, there might be one large pit or multiple smaller ones. Look around and see where the closest one is and head towards it. You may have to wriggle your way through the crowd to get there. When you get to the edge of the pit, hand back for a minute and survey the action. There are several different ways to mosh. You can jump around, skank, run, push, or simply walk in a circle in the pit. If this is your first time in the pit, you may want to mimic what others are doing to start and develop your own moves as you get more comfortable. If the pit looks rougher than you expected and you change your mind about joining, there's no shame in manning the sidelines! Once you feel ready to join the action, step into the pit and mosh around! Keep your arms out and moving around to protect yourself. Run, skip, or walk around the pit, bump into other moshers and push them around. Even though the mosh pit may seem like an anything goes sort of situation, it's not. If you are too aggressive in the mosh pit, you may even get kicked out of the concert. To avoid having an unpleasant mosh pit experience, stick to these simple rules. Help people who have fallen to get back up. If you notice someone on the ground, help them up and then keep moving. Don't pull people into the pit from the sidelines. The people standing on the sidelines are there for a reason and they may get angry if you try to push or pull them into the pit. Don't punch or kick people. The pit is not about seriously injuring people, it's just a rough form of dancing. It's okay to flail your arms around and kick your feet, but don't direct your kicks and punches at people intentionally. Also, be careful not to whack anyone in the face while you are flailing your arms around. Don't bring drinks into the pit. Take a break if you want to have a drink. If you bring your drink into the pit you will most likely end up dropping it or sloshing it all over yourself and other people. Moshing is hard work. If you start to feel out of breath or overheated, retreat to the sidelines and take a break. When you feel ready to go again, jump right back in!
Summary: Find the pit. Watch what others are doing. Jump in! Respect your fellow moshers. Take breaks as needed.

Problem: Article: Unfed adult female deer ticks have a unique bright orange-red body surrounding the black scutum. Adult males are dark brown to black in color. The name "wood tick" is used for a number of different ticks, including the deer tick, lone star tick, and American dog tick. All three ticks tend to live in wooded or recently cleared areas, and crawl up from the ground. You'll need to look to their markings to tell them apart. Brown dog ticks will have mottled brown and white markings on their scutums, which deer ticks do not have. The lone star tick has a distinctive white star-like marking on its scutum. The deer tick is about half the size of the brown dog tick, both in its pre-fed state and when engorged. Brown dog ticks rarely attach to humans. However, they are one of the few ticks that can infest a home. As the name implies, they're frequently carried by dogs, and can be found in kennels, around veterinary offices, and outdoor areas frequented by infected animals. " It may look like a head, but this is the part of the tick that attaches to the host in order to feed. It consists of two leg-like sensory structures that detect the presence of a host, a pair of knife-like structures that allow the tick to cut through the skin, and a single barbed structure (the "hypostome") that enters this opening. The capitulum on the deer tick is much longer than in other common ticks, such as the dog tick. The capitulum is positioned to the front, and visible from above. The female deer tick has a larger capitulum than a male deer tick. Adult male deer ticks do not feed. Deer ticks are particularly well-established along the Eastern and Upper Midwestern United States, but can be found as far south as Texas and into Missouri, Kansas, and parts of Oklahoma. Deer ticks are most active in the spring, summer and fall. However, they may be active whenever the temperature is above freezing. Other forms of ticks, such as the dog tick, are generally most active in spring and summer months only. The adult form of the deer tick lives in woody, brushy habitats. They prefer low-lying shrubs, not trees. The Western Blacklegged Tick is another form of the deer tick, found along the Pacific Coastal regions. It is especially active in Northern California. This form of tick rarely attaches to humans.
Summary:
Identify the tick by its markings. Look at the length of the tick's mouthparts, or "capitulum. Consider where you found the tick.
