I found tiny black worms in my garden tub. Did research and the only thing I found is they look like Anchor worms, but they are only in Alaska, in cold weather. I used bleach, didn't work, ajax worked but when the tub was refilled they were back. What is a drain worm? I only have cold water, don't use hot water in the summer. These guys are really tiny, about as long as a finger nail. Black and did I say tiny? They roll up and look like a speck of dirt, orginally thats what I thought they were, till they unrolled and wiggled. I really want to get rid of them. Went to the hardware store and that guy didn't have any idea. Water company said it wasn't their problem since it was only comming from one faucet. I called a plummer. He can't help. But he did say it might be from my hot water heater, since there is no hot water. But wouldn't that be in all my faucets in the house. Well, I think they are comming from the tub jets. Help Plz!

You have to be 40 years old before insurance companies will cover a mammograms. That seems irresponsible since there are thousands of women under 40 that have breast cancer and they would have to wait till 40 to receive their first mammogram. Even though my mom had cancer that wasn't enough for them to help pay for my first mammogram. I had to wait another year before finding a lump in my breast and my doctor had to write that it was necessary before they would approve an appointment.
I don't have cancer as far as I know. But after my mom went in 6 years in a row throughout the 80's for mammogram with a lump that went from marble to golf ball size- they were only able to diagnose cancer on the second biopsy and by that time it had spread to her lymph-nodes under her arms. So I am skeptical of the entire process and even though my mom is missing both her breasts now- I for see that no matter what happens I will most likely have the same result or worse death.

Even when I take great care to sanitise myself every time? If it can pass on person to person, does that mean I'll pass the virus whoever I touch, be it his/her clothes or face? I'm really confused. If it really does spread by just little skin contact, then wouldn't I be condemned by the society? I've been feeling rather depress lately because of this. Does that mean I can no longer have skin contact with my friends?

I recently found out that my 17 month old son has ringworm.. where does it come from? How did he get it?

Also, I was told that a terrific home remedy for ringworm was to rub used motor oil on the affected area's.. does this really work?

Do doctors tell the patient the full story? If someone had cancer and it had spread and become secondary (bowel primary, liver secondary), what would the Doctors say?
On doing my own research i have discovered how unfavourable this is, however my relative has not said anything about what the doctors have said to him.
What i am wondering is, whether the Doctors have told him that his chances may not be great, or would they not tell unless you asked? Sorry i hope this question makes sense.

I'm seriously considering going under the knife to straighten my legs. I'm not tremendously bow legged, but I believe it is quite obvious. I'm only 20 but being bow legged has always affected me. Only those with the condition will know that it's easier said than done when people say "be happy with yourself". I've reached a point whereby I know I must do something to correct my legs. For those who've been through bow legged surgery, do you think it's worth it to go for surgery? Are there severe post-surgery effects?

My father in law has back pain, blood in urine and a "mass" or something in his stomach. He had a test which initially said there was something in his stomach but that's all the doctor's told him. They are planning on doing more intricate tests on him but they scheduled it three weeks after the first test. I thought that maybe since they didn't schedule the follow up test right away, they don't think it's that life-threatening. Anyone know of anyone who has had these symptoms and what did it turn out to be?
