This may be odd. But when I was carrying my thick book to the washroom. I unzipped my zipper to urinate. When I did urinate, I accidentally dropped my book which then touched the toilet bowl (middle part especially ex. ( ) ) and touched the ground. Mind you, I was half a sleep, I couldn't even think about what I was doing. So what I did was, I picked my book up and rinsed my fingers with water. About 1 - 5 seconds. But forgot to use the soap.

I then ate some baked potato chips which was orange (all dressed chips to be exact). They were huge. I ate them with the same fingers from when I picked up the book from the ground area of the toilet.

Now I am very worried if I did or did not catch it?

When does AIDS die in an environment?

FYI: there were some drops of urine, but not noticeable when I did look at the pages where it touched the book. Actually, there was not any urine on the book.

My father in law has had prostate cancer for 7 years and it has moved to the spine. He now has 12 tumors in the spine and it has spread to the lymph nodes. His psa was 60 last month and today it was 84. How bad is this and how long is the life expectancy after the cancer is in the lymph nodes?

I did not want the dentist to clean my teeth, just fix the broken tooth. Since she cleaned my teeth, 5 teeth have broken off or have fell out. Now I going to a new dentist and he says it's going to cost close to $6000 to repair the damage she has caused.

My doctor diagnosed me with IBS with constipation and prescribed Zelnorm. Since taking the drug, I do go to the bathroom, but I still am having problems with discomfort. I especially start to feel uncomfortable when I leave my house. I would like to know what in the world can I do to make my body be the way it was before IBS so that I can do the things I used to do without any discomfort.

For the last several mornings, I have woken up feeling like I could throw up. Today, I passed out. My friend checked my blood glucose level and it was at 83, which she said is low. I just had my period, so I don't think I'm pregnant. What else could it be?

My daughter recently got 11 stitches on her forehead, but they were taken out last week, leaving a nasty scar. I have neosporin to put on it, but I was wondering if there were other ways to get rid of the scar or to soften it so it doesn't stand out so much.

I have had peripheral vision loss over the past year, starting first with my right periphery. At the same time that it was noted that I lost some of my right peripheral, i lost some of my left vision (not peripheral, it's a blind spot near my nose). That basically hasn't changed over the past year and has been followed. I've been to a lot of doctors and the consensus seems to be that it is a defect that I was born with since it is unchanging. Recently, I am noticing that I am bumping into things a lot more on my right side, and I am walking into people much more than I usually do. I think I may be losing more vision on my right side. I also noticed that I lost some left peripheral and I am bumping and banging into things on the left side, too. Does anyone have any clue??

I want to lose a bit of fat in my waist area so I have decided to start jogging. I can only last about 10 minutes right now. Is it a bad idea while exercising to take a break for a few minutes then start back up again? I think I could do longer than 10 minutes if I could take a quick break here and there but that seems like it would defeat the purpose of burning fat if I let my heart rate go down??
Would I be better off to just do as much as I can each day, twice a day?

watching "honey were killing the kids" anyone notice how fat the presenter is and how shes prob not in any position to advise on health issues. rubbish program. Are overweight people really happy being that way? people say being skinny(not anorexic) is bad but there are far worse implications by being over weight. celebrating Charlot Churches "curves" she is not curvy she is rolly and fat and not healthy just look at her lifestyle... not to pinpoint her but there are so many just the same. Not a good role model. surely slim Elle Mcpherson, Cindy crawford, etc are far better, dont binge drink, have healthy eating plans, frequent exercise etc. not every1 has a super face but every1 can have a great body its one thing you can change. Every1 has time to work out or atleast work at their diet. Thats why i just dont understand why so many big people say if a wand could be waved they wouldnt ask to be skinny. why choose food which is so momentary over looks and health which is forever.????

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago. In the answer voted #1, the person said they hoped I wasn't serious. The reason I asked the question was because I'm dead serious! A family member of mine, whom I will not define, has been stealing from me, my mother, my sister, his own kids and wife, and now my kids, even going so far as to blame my daughter for a recent theft, and blaming it all on Parkinsons. This has been his excuse for more than 20 years of lying, stealing, and gambling. I hate the asshole! He is breaking our family apart!

My daughter is 11 years old,and some teeth are overlaping her own teeth,they don't hurt,but they don't look good,and she's worried about them.She drew this on the computer as an example:

Is there any way that we can get some teeth to fall out at home,rather than getting it pulled out at the dentists?Any way that isn't painful?As in it only hurts for a second?

Ok so I don't know what to do. I'm starting to get lots of hair "down there" and I recently read a survey that said 95% of women shave down there. So does that mean like all of it? Because I heard that you get red bumps and it hurts really bad. So what should I do? And what exactly is deuching? (sp?) Because a group of boys was talking about it today, I've got a clue as to what it is...but not really sure.
