Boric Acid used to be used many years ago in a solution for its antiseptic properties to treat ear infections and stye's, around the eye. It was disolved in hot water and a washcloth soaked in it to make a compress. Does anyone know how much to use as a stye treatment?

It is also used around home foundations to keep out and get rid of insects, too....

I'm aware of what doctors say about smoking pot, but can it have a negative effect on someones throat when that person has had a history of tonsilitis and has had their tonsils out 2 years ago. On the rare occasions when I do smoke, my throat will burn when I inhale and get sore the next day. I don't know of anyone that has ever smoked pot and had this same problem...

Last night my lower right abdomen (where my appendix is) began to hurt. I could not walk and it hurt. I went to bed thinking it would be gone in the morning. When I woke up it wasn't. I called the hospital and they took me to the emergency room. I got a blood, urine, and CAT scan. They found nothing. It still kind of hurts, but the pain was worse last night. They told me to go in for a follow up to check more things. WHAT CAN THIS BE??

The district nurse has withdrew care drom my mother saying there are termanly ill people who need the care more, the social services have not set up the care package and now have had to send in emergency care. I don't think it right to even use that as an excuse I am not being calous as my father died from cancer I thought that there were different types of care.

I love cereal and I'm on a almost all cereal diet. I know a lot of good ones already, but do any of you health fanatics have any favorites?

Yesterday at my soccer game I was hit in the face with a soccer ball, well as soon as I got hit I was very dizzy. Then for the rest of the first half everything I saw from my right eye was really blurry. I would close my left eye and it would be blurry, close my right eye and everything would be fine. Well it went away after about an hour. Now(the day after) it is still annoying me. This morning it felt like someone was sticking me in the eye with their finger. The pain went away during the day but the pain would come back every now and then. I noticed it ecspecially hurts when I go to someplace where the light is different(brighter or darker). So I'm wondering what could be wrong with my eye? I would go to the doctor but I dont want to if it's going to go away on its own.

I know they are viruses, so can they be spread through blood? Does this even matter? I've never heard anything against giving with warts, but I wanted to make sure.
