I took cold shower for 23 years in the Philippines and I am now presently residing in the US. We had a hot water problem in our new house and I told my husband to take cold shower he said cold water doesn't clean him because cold water can't kill bacteria , does it mean I was dirty for 23 years taking cold shower? Please let me know

I feel so bad. Is it fair? They just assumed something is wrong with me because of my hunch. (Some people don't even notice it, though).
My doctor says I should not do surgery because my back isn't bad enough for that.

I'm not really sure if people still think of the common flu as a "dangerous" disease. I never really thought of it as serious. I know it has caused many deaths in the past but is it really considered dangerous nowadays?

A few weeks ago, I came down with a stuffy nose and cold. ( I ALWAYS get stuffy noses, I don't know why). So a week ago my mom gave me nasal spray that I can use, and I've been using it for three weeks everyday. About a week later, I came down with a really sore throat. I looked at the label on the nasal spray today, and it said, "Do not use for more than three days or congestion will get worse", so I think I'm in deep water now.

I think my sore throat is somehow linked to my stuffed up nose. How can I get rid of it to get my throat better, and should I stop using the nasal spray?

I've never been to the dermatologist before. I'm 28 and for the past 3 years or so, have been dealing with stubborn acne. Its not all over my face, but there are always breakouts present somewhere. I'm excited about going because I think the doctor will be able to help me out. What kind of things will the doctor be able to do for me? Should I bring any products that I'm currently using so he can see them? Also, should I shave before I go so that the doctor can actually see the zits without stubble in the way? Thanks for all your help, I truly appreciate it.

I love apples :)
I always eat fresh ones and wash them before I eat them.
I'm 20 and can't remember the last time I ate one and my throat didn't itch. But I love them!

Can I possibly be allergic?
Does this happen to anyone?

Genetic testing for breast cancer looks for two mutated genes. Women who have one of these two mutated genes are 60-80% more likely to develop breast cancer in their lives.

I am 22 and am pretty sure that I am in the early stages of Blepharitis. Is this possible, as I know that usually it is uncommon at such a young age.

The disease Cancer. Is it latin? Does it have anything to do with the zodiac sign? Is it an abbreviation for another word? Why isn't it called "Carcin" for carcinogens?

Can someone be allergic to vitamins?

I've felt itchy all over for months, no rash, no bites, just itching. Can't figure it out. Thought it was laundry detergent, so re-washed everything. Didn't help. Could it be the vitamins I switched to a few months ago?

I switched to taking OneSource Women's vitamins. Any similar reactions?
