Or is it? I've heard that adults have worse symptoms than children.

I recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy 14-year-old son, using a mix that was in our pantry. He said that they tasted "funny," but ate them anyway. About 10 minutes later, he began having difficulty breathing and his lips began turning purple. I gave him his allergy pill, had him sit on the sofa and told him to relax. He was wheezing while inhaling and exhaling. My husband, a volunteer firefighter and EMT, heated up some water, and we had my son lean over the water so the steam could clear his chest and sinuses. Soon, his breathing became more regular and his lips returned to a more normal color. We checked the date on the box of pancake mix and, to my dismay, found it was very outdated. As a reference librarian at an academic institution, I have the ability to search through many research databases. I !did just that, and found an article the next day that mentioned a 19-year-old male DYING after eating pancakes made with outdated mix. Apparently, the mold that forms in old pancake mix can be toxic! When we told our friends about my son's close call, we were surprised at the number of people who mentioned that they should check their own pancake mix since they don't use it often, or they had purchased it some time ago. With so many people shopping at warehouse-type stores and buying large sizes of pancake mix, I hope your readers will take the time to check the expiration date on their boxes. Also, beware of outdated cake, brownie and cookie mixes. There's more info at snopes.com. Here's the link: http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp

Lesson learned; be sure to check dates on everything and basically, just don't eat anything old! PASS IT ON!!!!

They have me on an antibiotic for that. Im also pregnant, 4 weeks. I was wondering if there was anything I could eat or take to help me go that would be safe for the baby! Thank in advance, and again sorry about the personal of this question!

i've altered my diet and started exercising regularly for almost 3 months now and i can't break this plateau. i cut out fast food, junk food, soda, candy, white bread, you name it. i eat 5-6 small meals a day and lift weights as well as high intensity cardio 3-4 times a week. i know i've built a little muscle mass but i should be losing weight also. what am i doing wrong?

My daughter has a little burn on her neck from the straightening iron that I use to press her hair. What should I put on it and how long will it take to heal to get it back looking normal? I put some neospirin on it already.

Thanks!

I'm 32yrs old, and I my husband and I have a 3yr old daughter and are not planning more children. I was told by someone that a doctor can stop you or that there may be a law against having them tied with only one child. If so, does this also apply to men getting vasectomies?

I met an amazing girl who I married a week ago. Ever since the proposal and the marriage, I have destroyed my mind with negative obsessive thoughts about her looks. It has left my mind like such a wrecked shell that I no longer think any girls are pretty. If I do not stop myself thinking like this then my marriage will be gone. Please could someone tell me how to stop these thoughts coming into my head and destroying me.

I had surgery on my lower ribs 6.5 weeks ago, so now I have a 3.5 inch cut on both sides of my upper abdomen. I have read that Vitamin E will really heap to prevent scaring. So, I've been putting that on at night. During the day, I've been wearing Neosporin Scar Solution silicone strips. Some people have told me that the Curad Scar therapy works better though. And then of course there is Mederma, and Scar Fade solution. I feel confused as to what to do. Everybody is telling me different things, and I just want the best product for these cuts, and am trying to get as little scaring as possible. Does anybody have any experiences with any of these products, or suggestions for me? THANK YOU!

recently i found out that my close friend was laughing and supporting those who believed that i am stupid.. he has started behaving as if he is great. he is ignoring him for no reason. he just wants to be with those 'new' group of people who are similar to his innate character- laughing at others., thinking he is great, those who consider they r cool and others are not.

i think the trouble started when i started calling those who waste time and not study are fools. we r in medical school and i beleive my friend dies not have the attitude to be a doctor. but the problem is, i am unable to cope with his new behavior as we were friends for almost 6 years and then this happened...

your suggestions are valuable for me to cope with this new situation where i am always thinking about that and unable to do anything else at all!

i hope you can help.... :-)
