My husband works at a very smelly job. He comes home and the odor is in his clothes, on his skin and in his pores. After 2 or 3 hot showers and 1/2 a bottle of soaps and scrubs, the smell is just about gone - but his skin is raw.

Any suggestions about any products which might help?

It seems like that would be a different type of pain, but I don't know.

I work at Cold Stone, and I have to stand up for about 7 hours at a time. By about hour 3, my feet hurt so badly that I can hardly move. I wear expensive Nikes with gel inserts and this still happens. I've never felt anything like it! How can I make them stop hurting THAT BADLY?? Is there any way?

I was playing indoor soccer today and someone kicked my right foot pretty hard. This afternoon it started getting ocassional cramps, but by 7pm I had horrible cramps that wouldn't go away that hurt so intensely it made me want to scream. My foot then started swelling and twitching a little bit. The cramping has went away, but it still doesn't feel quite right. Does anyone have any idea as to what I've done to my foot?

I thought that eyes become red because of not getting enough sleep. But I slept 9 hours last night which is unusual for me because I always sleep 6-7 hours.

snake bites are sometimes deadly , what actually causes death, how one can save life, is a tight bandage above 6 inches the bite really works, diff venoms work diff ways, why do people still believe tie a bandage, suck and spit the venom out which is no longer the right thing.

Ok, I've tried to give blood a few times, but the viens in my arms are kind of deep, and the walls are really thick...I found that out when they tried to get blood from the top of my hand and had a hard time getting the needle in a vien that was right on the service, and when they feel for a vien they can never find one. I know there's one there bececause this one guy nailed it the first time. What foods or drinks can I eat in order to make my viens puff up and become more noticable?! I really like giving blood and this has always been a problem. I know lots of water will help, but is there anything else?!

On wintery weeks like these, I get stuffy nose. I blow my nose a lot and often, I find dry boogers clumping up in my nostrils. It is during this time that I smell weird scents every moment of the day. What is this weird smell? Why is it happening? It even happens when I blow out and pick out all the boogers.

Can someone please help me? I would also like to know how long it would take. For us to get an apartment together, to be certified would really help. Thank you to all that can help.
