Every time I touch a tomato plant, I get a rash at the place of contact, and then two days later I get hives on my neck. Every time. Anybody else? And does anybody know why?

My grandfather is 77 years old he has a blood shot eye that is completely red and complains with the back of his head hurting. He hasn't fallen or anything like that. He refuses to go to the doctor. Any idea what could be the cause of this? He has had a couple heard attacks and one stroke with couple mini strokes. He is on blood pressure medicine, but thats about all I know. Any ideas would be appreciated!

A relative has been a raging alcoholic for about 10 years now. Example: In April she spent £880 in Bargain Booze! She has been in numerous drying out clinics and received all the relevant treatments but as soon as she is back home she drinks herself into oblivion. She seemingly doesnt want to stop drinking, but myself and other relatives want to try to help her to stop - with or without her cooperation. Recently, my mum and I have spent many hours decorating her new council bungalow and furnishing in a very homely way (her old flat stank of wee & poo (yak)) and being with her alot to prevent loneliness. She has carers going in twice a day every day as she has difficulty getting around. She has been out of her latest stint in respite for about 3 weeks and has already spent £130 on booze.... wee'd all over the bungalow and sh*t herself numerous times. The place was a sh*t hole... literally.

Any advice to help heal my back injury would be great too, It's hurting for over a week now and I've rested my back since Thursday and its still not getting better. It hurts the most when I try to sit down or stand up, the bending motion.

Some people think it is a great way to help prevent getting some forms of cervical cancer and it is a health concern that people should take seriously (4000 women will die from cervical cancer this year -- taken from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention). But some people feel that it will provoke sexual activity with teens. Also, some people are afraid of what the long term effects may be if there are any. In the magazine "First--For women On The Go", one woman from Florida stated in a poll that "it wouldn't encourage sexual activity any more than a tetanus shot encourages kids to step on rusty nails" (June 18, 2007 issue, Page 6). What are your thoughts and opinions?

I've noticed recently that the skin on my cheeks is very dry and flaky, I suffer from excema but not generally on my face, so I don't know whether this is related.
Also, my nails feel chalky to the touch, break and crumble very easily and are lined with little ridges.
Could this be a vitamin deficiency of some sort? And if so, what? My diet is fairly good and my hair and the rest of my skin aren't affected.

I am a huuuuuge fan of the no butt, twig-like leg look. How can I accomplish this (preferrably through healthy diet and or excersize)? Or is there just no way?

Right now, I weigh about 115-120 pounds, I'm 5'5"-5'6" (not quite sure on my exact height and weight at the moment lol). I wear anywhere from a size 1 to a size 7 in jeans depending on the brand.

I just feel FAT, and I hate it. Pleeease help me, I want to feel good about myself for once!
