Asked by Wiki User

Stye eye swelling can be calmed by a tea compress. Simply cool very dark colored black tea to a room temperature, soak a wash cloth or peice of cotton and softly rub it on the swell. You can also hold it on for a few minutes for extra exfoliation. Dark, warm, black tea is also good for cleaning out eyes.

Can you do sport when you have flu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can, because you have the ability to, but it doesn't mean you will or you should. Most people don't feel like swimming with the flu. If you have the flu you should be resting in bed to allow your body to have all the energy it needs to fight the flu and heal yourself.

If you have a fever from the flu, swimming in a lake or cool pool can mask the symptoms and make you feel temporarily better, but that will only be temporary and the exercise will make you feel worse once you get out. If you get in a heated pool, it could make your fever worse. Don't use a hot tub when you have a fever.

If you are in a lake or pool without chemicals to kill germs, you could be shedding viruses that might live long enough to infect someone else in the same water. Don't swim with others when you are sick with any infectious disease.

Being out in public if you are still sick risks giving it to other people whether they are in the water with you or not. Stay home.

So, the bottom line is you can but you should not.

Are cricket bites dangerous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cricket bites are more annoying than dangerous. These little insects bite out of self defense, so unless they're trapped in your hands or between you and your clothes, there isn't much to worry about. When a cricket does bite you'll know for sure - it will be a small sharp pain and burn. The best remedy is a dab of polysporin - this will help prevent infection but also relieve the pain and burning pretty quick. In my experiences, the polysproin did the job within about 1-2 min (stopped pain and burn, reduced redness and mild swelling). Of course if you are allergic to insect bites, you need to seek health care immediately. As far as the insect community is aware, there are no poisonous crickets. In fact, if a cricket is in your house, I would be more concerned about finding holes in my wardrobe and clothes than being bit!

Can you get the flu from the vacine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you cannot get the flu from the swine flu vaccine. What the H1N1 vaccine does is inject dead or weakened flu germs. That way if you do get the flu, your body will know what to do. But you can't get the flu from the vaccine.

What do you do after being exposed to the flu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sit down and relax. Drink a lot of Gatorade and water and also eat soup. Wash your hands after blowing your nose or after coughing and sneezing and cover your mouth and nose if you do cough or sneeze. Avoid spreading the virus to others by avoiding close body contact, shaking hands, etc. You may not get the virus from the exposure, but you will not know until symptoms show. You can be contagious and spread the flu for 1-2 days before you even have symptoms, so consider yourself infected and take all precautions to avoid spreading it. See the related questions below for more information.
