What do cockroach bite look like?

Cockroaches do not usually bite, (only in extremely rare cases) as human skin provides no nutrition for cockroaches. It's often the nasty allergic reactions to cockroaches that are thought of as a bite.

If a cockroach runs over skin, the places that get prolonged contact display large, mildly red, raised bumps. Often multiple bumps running in a straight line, similar to a mosquito bite, but with much stronger itch. The surrounding skin may then also become red and itchy as the reaction spreads due to scratching of the initial bumps.

Why is first aid important in our life?

1. Saves lives.

3. Promotes full recovery.

If a thorn from a honey-locust tree has caused your finger joint to swell painfully what can you do for relief?

I think we can rule out toxicology here, as Honey Locusts show no signs of toxicity, and only the seeds of the Black Locust are dangerous. So I'm guessing you have a piece of the thorn still in your finger, and it's acting as an irritant. There is also the chance of an infection. If it weren't near a joint I'd say treat the infection, and see if it dissolves or expresses out, as splinters are wont to do. But near a joint, there's the potential for damaging the joint. Try soaking the finger in warm, soapy water for about 20-30 minutes, not only to clean it but also to soften the skin. Then, with a sterilized needle, tweezers, alcohol (not for the wound -- to disinfect the equipment and the skin before you explore) and a magnifying glass, see if you can find the entry channel, and follow it down. Don't go overboard and hack a gaping crater in your finger -- the ideal here is to be extremely gentle and also persistent. If you can find and remove the splinter, hit it with hydrogen peroxide, bandage, and watch it heal. If you can't find the thorn, or can't get all of it out, an X-ray and a man with a scalpel (and a license to practice medicine) is called for. My concern here is that, if the shard works its way into the joint, you may wind up having problems with that joint for some time to come, so I don't think you have the luxury of waiting this one out.

What causes fits?

A fit or seizure is a misfire of the electrical impulses of the brain, which causes the body to convulse (fit) uncontrollably, and usually fall unconscious. This is most common in epileptics, which is a blanket term used to describe the condition where seizures occur as a result of a neurological disorder.

Fits can ofcourse be caused by means other than that of epilepsy, however, such as in an allergic reaction, or sometimes in anaphylaxis. A diabetic fit will also have many of the symptoms of an epileptic, however they will seem, to all external appearences, drunk. They will be sweating, not walking straight, their speech will be slurred, their eyes will roll back in their head and they will collapse. They will generally also suffer haliosis.

If you, or someone you know is fitting often and you don't know why, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Hope this helps :D
