Can you have black tea before a fasting blood test for cholesterol?

I am faced with a similar situation. I need to fast 14 hours before my blood work, and I would like some iced tea. I have only been fasting for 4 hours, so I still have 10 hours to go. I called my brother-in-law, who is a doctor in Minnesota, and he said it was fine to have the tea tonight (as long as nothing is added to it). However, I cannot drink the tea tomorrow morning before the visit. Only water.

Do ticks still jump on dogs when they've already been treated?

A tick might jump on the dog, even though the dog has been treated with a monthly Flea & tick preventative, but it will not stay on there as it will die in a few hours or sooner. A tick has to bite/suck the blood out of the dog for at least 12 hours before it can pass on the diseases it carries so the Preventative takes care of that, it kills the tick before it can pass anything on and then the tick just drops off.
