Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask about vaccination history. Monitor for infection. Watch for signs of tetanus. Get immediate medical attention in certain situations.

Answer: If the biting pet was not yours, ask the owners about the animal's vaccination history. In particular, let them know, "I would like to see records of your pet's last rabies vaccine, as well as any other vaccines they have had in the past year." If the owner refuses to provide you with this information, call your local animal control office and ask for assistance in acquiring the necessary information. If the biting pet was your pet, check their vet records to see if they are up to date on all of their vaccinations. If the pet does not have a current rabies vaccine wash the wound with warm water and seek immediate medical attention from an emergency or urgent care facility. Certain bites, such as bites from cats, are more likely to become infected. Monitor the wound closely for early signs of infection, which may include swelling, redness, or difficulty moving the bitten area. If you think the bite is likely to become infected because of the particular animal or the conditions under which the bite happened, contact your doctor immediately and let them know, "I worry that this pet bite might become infected. Do you recommend any immediate medical attention?" Wash a bite with a mild soap and warm water, apply antibiotic ointment, and dress it with a clean bandage immediately after receiving the bite to help reduce chances of infection. Animal bites that break the skin may allow the bacteria that causes tetanus to enter into the body. If the bite victim has not had a recent tetanus booster within the last 5 years or is not immunized against the disease, immediate medical help should be sought. Those who have been immunized should check with their general practitioner to ask about their most recent tetanus booster and see if their doctor recommends any additional preventative care at that time. Symptoms of tetanus, if left untreated, may appear in as little as four days and include jaw cramping, involuntary muscle stiffening, trouble swallowing, seizure, fevers, and an accelerated heart rate. There are some situations where you should seek immediate medical attention for a bite no matter what. These situations include: Being bitten by a cat. Getting a bite from a dog to the hand or foot. Getting a bite that is deep, large, and/or that caused a laceration large enough to require stitches. Having a broken bone or internal injury. When a child has been bitten on the head. When there are signs of infection including redness, pus, swelling, and worsening pain. When the bite was sustained by a person with diabetes, cancer, liver, lung disease, AIDs or another condition causing a weakened immune system.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Combine the sugar, water, and soy sauce in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power for 30 to 40 seconds. Add the seasonings. Microwave for another 10 to 20 seconds. Stir well.

Answer: Mix well until evenly distributed. The bowl should be able to hold a minimum of 4 cups (1L), even though this capacity is nearly twice as much as needed to hold the ingredients at room temperature. The extra space will help prevent any overflow from escaping into the microwave as the mixture heats up. Set the microwave to 50-percent power and place the sugar mixture inside. Cook uncovered for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the sugar starts to melt. The sugar should not be completely melted at this point. If you use molasses instead of sugar, note that the molasses should look notably thinner than it did before being heated. Place the ginger, garlic, and star anise in the hot mixture. Stir well until the new ingredients are evenly incorporated. Work carefully. The contents of the dish will be hot at this point and may cause a mild burn if they splash onto your bare skin. Return the bowl to the microwave and the mixture for another 10 to 20 seconds on medium (50-percent) power. After this second round, the sauce should look notably thin and there should no longer be any visible chunks of sugar remaining. There may, however, be individual granules of sugar floating around in the syrup. Remove the dish and stir it well using a spoon or whisk. Continue stirring until all of the sugar is completely dissolved. All of the sugar should be dissolved. This includes both large clumps and any individual granules. If the sugar is not fully dissolved after you mix it for 60 to 90 seconds, return the dish to the microwave and cook it for another 10 to 20 seconds at medium power before stirring it again. Since the syrup never quite boils when you use a microwave, the finished kecap manis will not be as thick when prepared using this method. The taste will remain accurate, however, and the sauce will thicken slightly as it stands.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Search throughout your yard with a metal detector. Look for an arrow symbol on your home's foundation. Probe suspect areas with a piece of rebar.

Answer:
Many septic tanks are built out of concrete. However, the tanks are often reinforced with steel bars within the concrete. These bars will trigger a metal detector, giving you a good idea of where your septic tanks are located. You can rent a metal detector from your local hardware store, and also from any large home-supply store. It's not uncommon for the builders or previous homeowners to leave future homeowners a "clue" regarding the location of their septic tank. These typically take the shape of an arrow drawn on the foundation of the house. While the arrow will not tell you how far out from the home your septic tank is buried, it will at least give you a direction to search in. If you're not sure that you've found the tanks' location, probe with a piece of rebar instead of digging. You'll need a piece of rebar at least 4 feet (1.2m) long, and a heavy hammerpreferably a sledgehammer. Hammer the rebar vertically into the ground until it comes into contact with your concrete septic tank. You can purchase lengths of rebar and sledgehammers at a local hardware store.
