Alright, I was watching a TV show last night and they were showing how pills are made. My question is, where do the chemicals that make the drug come from? Street drugs are easy. Cocaine comes from the coca plant, heroin from the opium poppy. Some prescriptions are easy also. Penicillian comes from mold. But, where do these new drugs come from? Like the cancer drugs or AIDS drugs or any of the blood pressure or cholesterol drugs? Are there just millions of chemicals out there and if you mix different combos they do different stuff? Or do most come from plants? If anybody has any links or any insight, please share. And please, no stupid answers.

I reallly need help getting rid of my lice. I've been having them for like 2 and a half years now. They are such a nuisance!! I'm only 11 but my parents told me to post this for answers. Unfortunetly, I know more about modern day technology than my parents lol. Well, most of you might be thinking..."eww how gross you have lice, filthy person!!" WRONG!! Anyone and everyone can get lice. No matter how clean or dirty you are. You can be someone living in a dumpster to the president's child. You have the same chance of getting lice, as any other person out there. So yeah, help me and my family :] Please!

Two day ago I went to the hospital and the doctor asked me to take a regular blood test due to an stomach pain I have right now and when I saw the needle I closed my eyes, but when I opened them again, I saw a red spot in the finger of the girl who took my blood test. Now I’m really scared again because I think it was blood. I got so scared that I while I was waiting for the results; I had to ask her if it was blood but she said it was only ink from a red marker. I didn’t see the red spot again because she was wearing gloves but she wasn’t wearing them when she took my blood. This idea I have is probably a bit sick but I believe that the girl could have used her blood to infect me with HIV. Is this possible? Can somebody do something like that? Should I take another blood test in three months time? Or am I just being Paranoid???

If you don't know what that is it's when you drop food on the ground and then if you pick it up within 5 seconds then it's clean and germ-free.
