Quite often nuts, cashew, walnut etc dry fruits get discoloured and/or taste sour and become inedible. Is it advisable to keep them refrigerated to allow them to retain freshness?

Dear Experts,
I have read the story about HIV via infected food, but please do not laugh, I am serious.
But assuming that, in that meal, I also drank a cup of iced- white coffice, Is this different from a bowl of food ? I am a little afraid since the temperature, stuff, .,.. in a cup of iced- white coffice was not deadful to HIV...

IF HIV infected blood in a cup of iced- white coffice,Are 1-2 seconds enough to kill off HIV ? HIV died right away in the cup of iced- white coffice ?Before I drank the cup...If some blood was in that cup, I could not recognise that color of blood

PLS answer me, thanks a lot, EXPERTS,

For the past 3 months I have been getting very large swollen puss-filled bumps on random parts of my body... I have never had these before. They start out like a pimple..then by the third day are swollen like a goldball..after about 2 days they finally pop and a very large amount of puss comes out..then they heal in like 2 days. The first one i got was 2 on my back..then a wekk later got one on my face--now its finally healed--i have another on my face that is currenty healing. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but also my eyes have been really itchy and dry lately..and are starting to develop dark pink circles underneath. Ive looked on google and cant find anything that describes this-- someone please help!!!!

I will be completely honest here, I am a recovering addict and my drug of choice was crack cocaine (no crackhead jokes, ok?). I have been clean for a couple years. But my question is this. Can a crack cocaine overdose cause a heart attack? I had all the symptoms...nausea, cold sweats, extremely rapid heartbeat, chest pain radiating to my left shoulderand down my arm, the pain was radiating around to my back.

We went shopping today. My wife has always gotten bags for any meat we buy, and with the recent outbreak, I see the wisdom of such.

I usually bag my own, but today the store was so busy that all the cashiers had baggers. I looked into the bags, and added items when there was space. When she handed me the bag with our meat (ground beef and chicken, today), I realized that the meat was in the same bag as our produce.

I even said so outloud to the bagger. She just shrugged her shoulders.

Am I wrong to feel a little upset at this?

It's driving me crazy and I can't sleep. I already asked two doctors and they say its the time of year and theres nothing I can do but use cold water for relief. But I can't exactly sleep with my feet in cold water. I don't think its the time of year because this has been going on for ab out 6 months now. I could really use some input here. I've tried anti funal cream, anti itch cream, regular moisturizing lotion, allergy medication, soaking in hot and cold water, using anti itch bath, and scratching like there was no end to it, and nothing has been able to help me yet.

Having items with sugar in them feels like I've had too much coffee and makes it so I can't sleep even fruit has the same result.

My boyfriend wanted me to take a picture of myself "down there" and between where my vagina and butt is there is like this thing that sticks out. It is a skin color. It looks like a big bump. Is this normal or is a std? I wouldn't think it is a std since it is a skin color but help

It's always in the same place and only shows itself if I don't shower for a couple days or more then it gets itchy and I scratch it (I know, gross). It's about 2/3 the size of a penny when I start scratching. But if I scratch it alot it bleeds not real easy but easier than normal. I'm assuming this is a sort of fungus, but what can I do to get rid of it and how concerned should I be? How did I get it? I can't afford a doctor so that's out of the question. Thanks everyone.

for about a year now, i have got itchy rashes near my vagina when i am on my period. i always thought it was just an allergic reaction to the pads or something... until on my most recent period, i got three very painful bumps near my butthole. it was filled with pus so i popped them but the next day, it just got bigger and then the day after that, it got more swollen and painful and bigger. and then, about a minute ago, i just got a HUGE cut on my vagina and i dunno where it came from?!? does this sound like genital herpes? because i have NO idea how i could have got it since i have only had one sexual partner and i am his only one and first too. could somebody who is a professional or has had a personal experience, tell me what this could possibly be? i am SO SCARED and WORRIED. i cannot tell my parents because i am only a 19 year old college student and they will probably disown me. PLEASE HELP ME!
