Answer: Eye mites carry bacteria that can cause infection, especially if you have rosacea. If you have rosacea, pay attention to any changes in your eyes. Signs of an allergic reaction include: Watery eyes Eyes that hurt Red eyes Swollen eyes Most people know when they have an eyelash in their eye because it feels like something is in your eye. Eye mites can also make you feel like a foreign body is in your eye. Your eyelids may also feel itchy and you might experience a burning sensation in your eyes. You should also consider if your vision has changed. If your eyesight becomes blurry, you may have eye mites. Unfortunately, you won't be able to look at your eyelashes and eyelids and tell if you have eye mites. They're so small that they can only be seen under magnification. But, you may notice your eyelids become thicker or crusty if you have eye mites. And, you might lose eyelashes if you have mites. Your eyelid can also look red if you have eye mites, especially along the margin or edge. The risk of eye mites increases as you age. Some studies estimate that over 80% of people over the age of 60 have eye mites and that these tiny creatures may are present on many children too. People with the skin disorder rosacea often have eye mites. Eye mites are just as common in men as in women with a similar distribution worldwide regardless of race. If you experience any of these symptoms, you might have eye mites. Unfortunately, they're so small that you can't tell if you have them just by looking at your eyes. And, since many of these symptoms could be caused by other eye problems, you'll have to go to the doctor to know if you have eye mites. You can also ask your eye doctor to make an eye mites diagnosis or check your eyes for another eye condition that could be causing your symptoms. Your doctor will have you sit at a slit-lamp. If you've ever had your eyes checked, the eye doctor used a slit-lamp. You sit with your chin and forehead on a support while a bright light and microscope examine the front of your eye. The doctor will look for the small mites which will be attached to the base of your eyelash. Sometimes, the doctor will pull out an eyelash or two to examine under a microscope. Some doctors will pull an eyelash in order to show you the mites under the microscope. If the doctor doesn't see any mites, you'll be checked for other conditions that could be causing your eye irritation (like allergies or a foreign object in your eyes).

Answer: Your goal is to keep the pollen that is outside, outside. Keep your car windows and house windows closed and use air conditioning instead, especially when the pollen count is high or you're in the midst of pollen season. Unfortunately, this comes at an additional financial cost, so decide how often you want to use this method. Alternatively, have a new and efficient air filter added to the air intake of your car, so that you can use outside air to circulate around the car instead of air conditioning. If you don't have air conditioning in your home, it may help to swap bedrooms with a housemate whose room faces the fewest allergy-producing trees and plants. It will help to reduce the exposure when you let fresh air into your room. Pollen collects on your skin and clothes when you're outside, so when you get home remove your day clothes immediately and toss them in the hamper or washing machine. This will prevent the spread of hitchhiking pollen to the couch, your bed, and other clothes. Wash your clothes before wearing them again. Use an electric dryer or indoor clothes line instead of drying your laundry outdoors. You may also want to leave your shoes at the door after spending time outside to avoid tracking pollen indoors. Pollen not only settles on your clothes throughout the day, but also on your skin and in your hair. Going to bed with pollen in your hair will transfer that pollen to your pillow, and you'll sleep with your face in pollen all night long. A soap-free rinse in the shower before bed will do the trick to remove pollen from your skin, but for the best defense overnight wash your hair, as well. Sheets, blankets, comforters, and especially pillowcases should be changed often, at least on a weekly basis if not twice per week. Thoroughly wash bedding before reusing. Have spare sets of bedding so you can swap the sets out often without overwhelming yourself with doing laundry every three days. Keeping a clean, pollen-free bed will protect you from inhaling pollen all night long. Your dog, outdoors cat, rabbit, ferret, or other loveable pet can easily track pollen into the house. Commit to brushing them daily to remove as many allergens as possible from their fur, especially if they sleep in bed with you. Groom them in a wood or tiled area so that you can easily clean up without hair and pollen getting into the carpet. No amount of washing and prevention will stop all pollen from entering your home. Vacuum at least once a week to help remove the residual pollen that's carried inside on people and pets. Use a vacuum cleaner with a small-particle or HEPA filter.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: At home before your test, begin by saturating your hair with white vinegar. Let the vinegar sit for 15-20 minutes. Next, soak your hair with a salicylic acid acne treatment. Work one capful of liquid detergent through your hair thoroughly. Add a dash of water to 1 scoop of powder detergent to make a paste. Rinse all the products out of your hair. Dye your hair using a standard store-bought dying kit. Repeat as needed.

Answer: You will probably gag, but it's worth it! Work the vinegar through your hair slowly, over a 10 minute period to get maximum saturation. Refrain from rinsing. This gives the vinegar time to sink into the hair and scalp. Use a treatment with a 2% salicylic acid concentration. Again, pour slowly and allow liquid to soak into your hair. Leave the vinegar and acne treatment in your hair for about 30 minutes. Do not rinse the vinegar and acid out of your hair before doing this. Scrub this onto your scalp and hair. Let this mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes. If possible, concentrate these products on more the back of your head. Samples are most commonly taken from this area. Do not wash or condition. Rinse well. Use the conditioner treatment that usually comes with the hair colour kit. Instructions for this remedy vary - some recommend repeating once a day in the four or five days leading up to your test, while some recommend only one treatment.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drink more water. Eat a moderate amount of protein. Reduce your sodium intake. Choose foods that are low in fat. Limit phosphorus if you have been told to do so. Watch your potassium intake if you have been advised to do so.

Answer:
Water is essential for preventing kidney stones, but it can also help to promote good kidney function. If you are concerned about kidney disease, then you should try to drink more water. Make it your goal to drink between 6 and 8 8floz (240mL) glasses of water every day. If you are at risk of kidney stones, then you should drink even more water per day. Keep in mind that if your doctor has recommended a specific fluid intake for you, then you should stick to this recommendation. High protein diets can "overload" the kidneys, so it is important to eat only a moderate amount of protein to keep your kidneys healthy. About 20 to 30% of your calories should come from protein. For example, if you ate 2,000 calories in a day, then your calories from protein should be between 400 and 600 calories. You can determine whether or not you are meeting this goal by keeping track of what you eat and paying special attention to your calories from high-protein foods. High-protein foods include things like meat, eggs, fish, and dairy products. Sodium can also cause problems for your kidneys, so it is best to avoid high-sodium foods and reduce your sodium intake as much as possible. You can reduce the sodium in your diet by cooking your own food and by limiting the amount of prepared and processed foods that you eat. If you do use any prepared foods, make sure that you read the labels and avoid foods with added salt. Keep track of how much sodium you eat each day. You should try to stay below 2,300 mg per day if you are under 51 years old and under 1,500 mg per day if you are over 51 years old. Low-fat foods will help to protect your kidneys as well as your heart and arteries. Try to steer clear of high-fat foods like fried foods, baked goods, and other fat-laden dishes. Instead, choose low-fat foods such as: Lean cuts of meat Low-fat cheese Low-fat milk Poultry with the skin removed Fruits Vegetables Beans If you have kidney disease that is more advanced, then you may need to limit your phosphorus intake. Make sure to limit your phosphorus intake if your doctor has instructed you to do so. Foods that you should limit include: Deli meats Meats with added phosphorus Dairy products Cola Processed foods It is important to maintain the proper balance of potassium, so you may need to avoid or limit certain foods if your doctor has told you to follow a lower potassium diet. Foods that tend to be high in potassium include: Salt substitutes Oranges Bananas Potatoes Tomatoes Brown rice and wild rice Bran cereals Dairy products Whole wheat breads and pastas Beans Nuts
