I just finished reading a Yahoo article on how Ohio is having a huge mosquito problem this year due to all the rainfall and as a result they've doubled up on their pesticide sprays. How healthy can it be for the residents of those areas to get a double dose of these chemicals?

I consider myself a pretty strong guy. I am 5 ft 9, 175-180 lbs. I can squat 305 lbs and deadlift 245 lbs. But my Barbell bench press is awfully bad only 185 lbs 6-8 reps.

When I do presses with dumbells however I can do 80 lbs on a flat bench and 75 on incline. When I am using a barbell however the arms (triceps, biceps and forearms) seem to tire very quickly. Believe me my triceps aren't that weak either. Anybody experienced the same problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I also have to ad that my shoulders are "bent" more than normal.

I just started taking topomax 50mg per day about 11/2 months ago and it doesn't seem to be making any difference. I know that is a low dose and my Dr. will probably raise it next time I go back. I was previously on amitriptaline ( or however you spell that). It didn't work either. I have headaches either every day or every other day. I have migraine strength headaches about 2-3 times a week. This sucks and I need help. Imitrex doesn't work for my headaches anymore and they put me on maxalt 10 mg. Excedrin migraine works good for a while, but I need advice. Any thoughts and yes, I am going to a neurologist ( but only rescently)?

I know it will protect your skin from burning. If you say outside for an hour with sun screen on and an hour without will you be just as dark after?

I know its unhealthy because your not eating and you need to eat..but im trying to prove my dumbass sister wrong. You can lose weight by not eating anything, yes its unhealthy since your body needs food but you can lose weight by not eating nothing at all. A good diet is where u eat but not alot, and you exercise..But the question is WILL YOU LOSE WEIGHT IF U DONT EAT NOTHING AT ALL? Yes i know its unhealthy. The reason you lose weight is because your body is burning the calories thats already in your body off instaed of the ones that are getting from eating. So since your body has nothing to eat from, you start losing weight cuz it starts to burn the calories and fat that u have in your body. Am i right?

I just want to know if anyone else has this phobia? I'm ok if they are in the mouth, are clean and not being touched in any way. If I see, hear about or even think about teeth that are doing something odd in anyway I feel cold and clammy, sick, dizzy, trembly and short of breath and my heart starts beating quickly. I've looked on the internet and can only find ordontaphobia-fear of dentists. Although I do have extreme fear of dentist too.Does someone else fear teeth or am I going mad?

Also, any idea how to fix this? I can't afford private therapy or hypnotherapy so it would have to be a book or something cheap like it.

This is a serious question and I ask you to be sensitive in your answers, please don't mention teeth! I feel sick enough just typing this. Many thanks.

I started using Crest White Strips yesterday, and I will be using them 2 times a day. I am supposed to get my final results on my teeth in 14 days. On the box, it says "Teeth stay whiter for 12 months", but I hear a lot of people who used them, they said their reults only lasted 6 months. Will mine last longer or the same as theirs, because I make sure to brush after every meal, floss once a day, and use a special mouthwash my orthodontist recommended for me to use when I got my braces off.
