How do you get rid of vertigo?

The commonest type of vertigo occurring chronically (over a long period of time) is called BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).

A link to a treatment video is shown here (explanation below).

Cause of BPPV

Within the labyrinth of the inner ear lie collections of calcium crystals known as otoconia. In patients with BPPV, the otoconia are dislodged from their usual position within the utricle and they migrate over time into one of the semicircular canals (the posterior canal is most commonly affected due to its anatomical position). When the head is reoriented relative to gravity, the gravity-dependent movement of the heavier otoconial debris within the affected semicircular canal causes abnormal (pathological) fluid endolymph displacement and a resultant sensation of vertigo. This more common condition is known as canalithiasis.

In rare cases, the crystals themselves can adhere to a semicircular canal cupula rendering it heavier than the surrounding endolymph. Upon reorientation of the head relative to gravity, the cupula is weighted down by the dense particles thereby inducing an immediate and maintained excitation of semicircular canal afferents afferent nerve. This condition is termed cupulolithiasis.The treatment of choice for this condition is the Epley canalith repositional maneuver which is effective in approximately 80% of patients[1]. The treatment employs gravity to move the calcium build-up that causes the condition). The particle repositioning maneuver (Epley Maneuver) can be performed during a clinic visit by specially trained otolaryngologists, neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, or audiologists. The maneuver is relatively simple but few general health practitioners know how to perform it. A method known as the Semont maneuver in which patients themselves are able to achieve canalinth repositioning has been shown to be effective.

Yes, there are cures for vertigo. It is very important to see a doctor to determine the exact cause of your vertigo, as it can come from different sources, and each one is treated differently. I had vertigo for years and finally got the root cause diagnosed.

What do you feed silkworm moths?

you do not feed them anything. they do not have mouths. the sun will just give what the moth needs to live. Dont worry if they die in 1 week, their moth life cycle ( not slikworm) is only that long. :)

What kind of caterpillar is black and fuzzy without an orange stripe?

The woolly bear caterpillar can be black without its otherwise hallmark coppery red middle band.

Specifically, the eggs are laid by the adult Isabella tiger moth (Pyrrharctia Isabella) during the summer, for hatching throughout the fall and winter. Caterpillars from the same clutch may sport a color range from red with minute black specks to the reverse. According to North American folklore, a predominantly or all black woolly bear caterpillar means upcoming severe winter weather. Such a dire prediction in fact tallies with this scientist/naturalist's observations of the weather during the critical months of May and September 2011.

How many spiracles do silkworms have?

10, 2 on the thorax, and 8 on the abdomen.

What kind of caterpillar is green with small fake eyes?

The caterpillar that is green with small fake "snake" eyes is the Spicebush Swallowtail Caterpillar. This caterpillar will turn into the spicebush swallowtail.

Many caterpillars have a base color of '"lime green" - for instance the common tomato caterpillar is all lime green. The black swallowtail butterfly's caterpillar is lime green with black and a bit of yellow - see http://insects.tamu.edu/images/insects/common/images/cd-43-c-txt/cimg267.html
