Can you give hermit crabs fruits from a market that isn't dried?
Actually you should be giving your hermit crab plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, preferably organic, as they can be sensitive to pesticides. Dried food is good, but they need the oils and juices and the nutrients in them to be truly healthy. Commercial hermit crab food is dangerous for hermit crabs, as most of it contains toxic preservatives. Ethoxyquin and Copper sulfate are both slow toxins for your hermit crabs. it is best to switch to an all natural, very varied diet. Feed them well cooked meat that has been taken from what you might be cooking for dinner that night before it is seasoned. They should have good calcium sources, such as shrimp with the exoskeleton still on, mealworms, and seaweed such as spirulina and algae that you can purchase in the fish food section of the pet store. Again, read carefully and do not purchase anything with preservatives in it. Give your crabs a varied diet, change it often (they do not like to eat something they've eaten within 14 hours to 14 days) and you will have healthy, happy crabs. Please see the related link below.

Is peppermint oil is good for shingles and what other essential oils can be used?
I have had direct experience using this for client care and hearing uniformly positive feedback. One DOES NOT , however, apply pure peppermint oil- far too harsh. Making a strong peppermint tea (say 4 bags to a pint) and apply compresses and as a wash to the affected area as needed. One could add a very well mixed DROP of therapeutic grade peppermint essential oil, which is widely available. This is a situation where "more is not better". Other oils may be caustic, and essential oils use necessitates at least SOME education and awareness, so I would caution not to experiment. A drop of lavender essential oil could be helpful, added to a water infusion, but peppermint seems to win all around for most .
