Ok, I know I am gonna catch alot of slack for this already, but every so often, on occasion, my ex husband and I still have a sexual relationship. Problem is, he is a drug addict, and his method of choice is IV. This is a problem in and of itself, but I asked him tonight if he had EVER used a dirty needle, and he said he used his ex girlfriend's ONCE. I said once is no excuse, and he went on to say that he had sterilized it first, and he only used it cause there was no other needle around (this of course was not good enough of an excuse for me!). His ex girlfriend was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis, but then the drs later recanted that and blamed it on liver failure from doing too much dope. Should I be tested for HIV and hepatitis? How long does Hepatitis take to show up? I know HIV has a window period of six months.
Also, I am only a FORMER drug user, and we do use protection on the occasion something does happen between us, but still...theres always that chance, isnt there

I know that there is a food additive called, "Natural Smoke Flavor" that's used to give a smoke flavor to some cheeses and other foods. I know from nutrition studies that Natural Smoke Flavor is derived from Formaldehyde (you know like embalming fluid) but the food processors went to the FDA and complained that if they have to show a formaldehyde derivative on the ingredient label, no one will buy the product. So could they call it Natural Smoke Flavor and the FDA said, "APPROVED".

Or can they also be skin color? My 5 yr old son has come down with something suddenly...rash over most of his body, but it's not red. It really itches, and I'm not sure what the cause is. He hasn't eaten anything out of the ordinary or done anything else out of the ordinary. I at first thought that it might be some kind of heat rash, but we live in Utah and it's been cool and rainy lately. Any suggestions? I have given him benedryl type medicine to help with the itch.

I seem to get sore throats pretty often. I'm a fit person, I eat generally healthy foods, I don't smoke or drink heavily, yet I still get sore throats. Not to mention, when I get them, they last for a long time. I had one this summer that lasted for 4 weeks, no joke! I can come up with no reason as to why I get them. I've been to doctors, and they tell me nothing.

I'm been wondering if its possible that the sore throats are caused by my tonsils. I know some people have them removed at a young age, or later in life. Would getting them removed help me out? Anyone have any sources which link sore throats as a direct effect of 'bad' tonsils?

When it's a little bit cold my toes, nose, tops of ears and fingers go bright bright red or purple, sometimes blue.
Why do they do that?
I'm the only one it happens to. :-(
All my friends stay a normal color.

I have two really bad ingrown toenails, one on each big toe. I have had them before but since I got pregnant and had my baby (on August 1st) they have gotten worse. I have tried the vertical cut and pull but they're still miserably sore... also I have gone up a shoe size! I didn't think that could happen at the age of 38. Anyway, they really hurt and if anyone has any solution other than cutting off my toes, I would love to hear from you. I don't have med insurance and can't afford a pedicure so I need a home remedy. Thanks...
