Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Diagnose pubic lice correctly. Buy an over-the-counter lice treatment. Wash the infected area with soap and water. Apply medication to the affected area. Wash off the treatment after the appropriate time. Pick out any remaining eggs. Repeat the treatment 7-10 days later. Know that shaving alone will not eliminate pubic lice. Use a prescription medication if pubic lice return. See a doctor if lice persist or don't respond to treatment.

Answer: Lice resemble small, moving crabs usually found around the genitals, though they sometimes be in armpits, eyebrows, or facial hair. If you cannot see whether you have pubic lice then use a magnifying glass they are grey-brown, crab-like insects 5-7 millimeters long. Use a magnifying glass to check for lice if you have the following symptoms: Pale blueish bite marks. Small, white dots attached to the base of your hairs (lice eggs). Low-grade fever. Lice shampoos, lotions, and insecticides are available at your local pharmacy. You should select a lice-killing lotion with 1% permethrin or a mousse that contains pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide. Perform a "spot test" to check for allergic reactions. Place a small amount of the lotion on your arm or leg and wait 10 minutes to check for itching or swelling. Clean your body the best you can and dry yourself off before applying medication. Do not try to scrub the lice away as they are evolved to hold to your hairs. You should treat yourself and any people who have had close contact with you in the last week (sharing beds, sexual activity, borrowing towels, etc.). Apply the shampoo or lotion according to the directions on the bottle, which usually require you to apply the liquid and leave it for 20 minutes or more. All creams need time to work, but do not be tempted to leave them on for longer than recommended. These products are poisons and they will damage your skin if not washed away properly. Most lice treatments do not kill eggs (known as "nits"), so you will need to remove them by hand. Using tweezers or an fine-toothed nit-comb, carefully pull out any small white eggs or remaining bugs. To be safe, you should always retreat yourself to make sure no lice survived. Lice eggs hatch after 10 days, so repeating the treatment ensures that none survived the first round. '"Pediculosis Pubis," or pubic lice, are resilient creatures that can live on other parts of your body, including your armpits and eyelashes. Shaving will not get rid of the problem, but it can help in conjunction with lice-treatments. There are several prescription options available for treating pubic lice, but they should be used as a last resort. Stronger creams are more toxic and can cause illness or skin damage in large doses. '''Lindane Shampoo:''' Kills lice and eggs, and is available by prescription. It can be toxic, however, and should be used only when other options fail. Never use lindane on small children, people with a history of seizures, the elderly, or pregnant women.

It has not, however, been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If you can't get rid of your pubic lice after two rounds of treatment you should see a health professional. They may write you a prescription or send you to a specialist if they problem is not treated quickly. If you develop any redness, pain, or swelling, you should talk to your doctor about a possible infection.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove the concrete floor. Dig the sump hole. Seat the liner in the hole. Concrete back over the floor.

Answer: This can be relatively quick work with an electric jackhammer, if you can rent one. Cut the concrete you're removing into manageable pieces and avoid just shredding the concrete. When you've got squares cut, move the jackhammer at an angle to pry up the pieces and remove them from the area. Alternatively, you can make do with a hammer drill rigged with a masonry bit, a good sledgehammer, and a masonry chisel. Using the largest masonry drill bit you can chuck in the drill, begin making holes every few inches in the concrete along the outside perimeter, then use the hammer and chisel to crack the concrete between the holes. Continue drilling holes and hammering the concrete until you can remove it in chunks. If your floor has reinforcing steel mesh installed in it, you may need a pair of heavy wire cutters or a metal grinder to cut it. You will want to dig the sump hole at least 12" deeper than the sump liner. Use 5 gallon (18.9L) buckets to cart the debris outside. Place, or replace, some coarse gravel in the bottom of the hole, so that the sump liner sits flush with the basement floor when placed in the hole. This gravel will promote good drainage, and help water move into the sump where it can be pumped away (instead of moving into your basement at another spot). It may be difficult to dig the sump if the soil is sandy and wet. If water infiltration is causing the hole to erode there are a few options. You can wait for the soil to dry, dig faster than the water enters or use a garden hose. For the garden hose method, you will need to place the sump liner in the started hole and fill it with water. Then use a garden hose and push it under the liner. The water from the hose will push the sand out from under the liner and will stop the erosion. The weight of the liner will cause it to fall in the void underneath. As the liner drops into the ground you may have to wiggle the liner to keep it straight Depending on the liner used, you may have to drill numerous holes in the sump liner to allow water to enter so the pump can pump it away. The drilled holes should be smaller in diameter than the size of gravel used so that gravel does not come through. Place gravel around the sides of the sump liner, coming up to about 6" below the level of the floor. Use any size of gravel between 3/8 and 1/2 inch. Mix your concrete, and pour a 6-inch layer of concrete over the gravel, filling in the floor up to the edge of the sump liner. Trowel the concrete to achieve a smooth surface. After the concrete has set up reasonably well (at least 8 hours), you may resume working on the sump.

After cleaning your tires, apply a few drops of water-based tire dressing to a cloth or sponge, then cover the surface of the tires with the dressing.

It's sometimes labeled as "tire shine" or "tire care." Tire dressing shields your tires from UV rays, one of the main causes of dry rot. ake sure your tires are fully inflated. Check the air pressure in your tires every time you gas up. If your tires don't have enough pressure, dry rot will be all the more dangerous, and could lead to a blowout. Replace old tires when the tread is wearing thin. Not only are older tires dangerous (because their tread is bare), but they're also at a higher risk of dry rot. If you drive a car, truck, or SUV, you can gauge this by sticking a quarter into one of the grooves of the tire.
