I don't know all the ways hepatitis c is contracted so please bear with me here. If a woman is jailed in a prison cell with another woman for 2 months and this other woman has hepatitis c how likely is the other woman to contract the disease? They shared the same toilet, sink, and shower. Should she be tested?

The shoes are black leather and cloth. They are used, so I'm afraid that they might have athlete's foot or some other foot fungus or disease. Is there an inexpensive way I can sanitize them?

I am allergic to mostly dust and polline and my allergies get really bad in the spring time/summer (like now) only my right eye gets red and waters non stop. I have tried eye drops but all they do is sting, and my nose is runny too and i have medication something like rhinobusin. I have contacts so when this happens i have to take them out but my eye doesnt get any better. What can i do?

Everytime people smoke around me, I get this horrible headache, but it goes away about 5 minutes after they're done, and I get this weird cough.. I doubt I am, but could I be allergic to cigarette smoke?

I work with a lot of people who have HIV. Because of confidentiality issues I'm not suppossed to reveal their names to anyone else. HOWEVER, I think God gave them AIDS to punish them for their sinfulness and I think part of the punishment should be that everyone else knows that they're sick. How can I reveal their names to as many people as possible without getting caught? [names inside]

I have diabetes and am on med that increases chance of stones. I've heard they are painful, and I DON'T do pain, so I need to avoid these!
I've heard that citrus was good. Then I heard that grapefruit was the worst, but that lemon was still okay.
I heard that cranberries were the ticket, so I've been eating and drinking all things cranberry, but yesterday I read that they are terrible.
I'm so confused!
Anyone ..........
