Healing Poison Ivy

Healing Poison Ivy

Poison ivy is something that many of us have to deal with. Learn the fastest way that you can heal it.


Now that the warm weather is here we are spending more and more time outside. The fresh air and warm sun feels nice - but often times we are distracted that we run across some unpleasant things. Poison ivy is the most popular plant in the world and it is one of the most irritating. If you are lucky than all you will have is an annoying rash. If you are not lucky than you will have blisters along with the rash.


There are home remedies that you can try - which are cheap and easy to use. If you feel like scratching your irritated skin stop yourself immediately. This will only make the problem worse. Instead pour a tablespoon of bleach into a cup. Use a cotton ball to absorb the bleach and then apply it to the skin. This will sting but it will help to dry out the skin quickly.

Diabetes Awareness: I'll Wait 'til it Hurts

Diabetes Awareness:  I'll Wait 'til it Hurts

How do you know if you need testing for pre-diabetes? Good question. The truth is- You may not know. It's our human behavior to wait until our body produces a pain or ache before we visit the doctor's office. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst and urination may not occur until the disease has progressed and is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because the onset of diabetes is so slow.


"If it ain't broke, most people don't fix it."


Do you know if you have diabetes?


Did you know type 2 diabetes symptoms only become "obvious" once the disease has substantially progressed?
