Burn Prevention and Treatment

Degrees of Burns A child can receive a burn from hot liquids or objects, fire, electricity, or chemicals. Prolonged exposure to the sun can also cause sunburn. It is common to grade burn injuries according to how deep the burn goes in the skin. First-degree burns: Only the top layer of the skin is damaged. The skin is red, warm, and tender. The surface of the skin is dry and without blisters. This type of burn injury will heal after a few days without leaving a permanent scar on the skin. Most sun burns are first-degree burns. Second-degree burns: The skin has been damaged to a deeper level. The skin will be extremely painful, red or pale, and will have swollen and blistered areas. Healing will often take 14 days or more, and there is a small risk of scarring. Third-degree burns: All layers of the skin have been destroyed. The skin may be white, brown, or blackened and charred. It feels dry, like parchment or leather. There usually is little or no pain at first because the nerves, ...

Saving Money and Saving the Environment

One great thing about frugal living is that being frugal tends to lower your impact on the environment. In honor of Earth Day, we have collected some money saving tips and articles that are also good for the environment. Ride A Bike Get a bicycle. Goodwill stores often have nice used ones for $10 or so. Make sure it's the right size for you, it's comfortable and you know how everything on it works. Then put reflectors on it, a basket on the front and/or back, get a lightweight lock, and go for it. Optional: light, and rear-view mirror on handlebars. And please always wear bright-colored clothes when riding, or at least tie a bright scarf on the back. Thrifty, green people know how to avoid accidents. By Jantoo Cloth Bags For Groceries A few stores in my area, like Fred Meyer, have been selling sturdy reusable cloth totes to use instead of paper or plastic bags. They have nice handles, sit flat and are good for the environment. So I always remember t...

W. Va residents told not to shower or do laundry because of chemical spill

Gambar
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A chemical spill left the water for 300,000 in and near West Virginia's capital city tinted blue-green and smelling like licorice, with officials saying Friday there was no indication of when it might again be safe for even mundane activities like showers and laundry. Federal authorities began investigating how the foaming agent escaped a chemical plant and seeped into the Elk River. Just how much of the chemical leaked remained unclear . Officials are working with the company that makes the chemical to determine how much can be in the water without it posing harm to residents, said West Virginia American Water president Jeff McIntyre. "We don't know that the water's not safe. But I can't say that it is safe," McIntyre said Friday. "Don't make baby formula with it, don't brush your teeth with it, don't wash it, don't shower with it, don't drink it. You can't just boil it," added McIntyre.  Fo...

Bathroom Caulking 101 - Buildipedia

Preventing water damage inside our bathrooms is just as important as directing water away from our homes. Caulking, as part of routine homeowner maintenance , prevents avoidable damage around the multiple fixtures and different building materials located inside a bathroom. To get started all you need to know are the areas inside a bathroom that need to be regularly maintained, how to remove existing caulking , and how to apply a new bead of caulk. What Areas Need to Be Maintained? Gaps occur along joints, the transitions between materials or surfaces. These seemingly minor spaces create opportunities for water to penetrate and cause large problems. The typical areas in a bathroom where caulking needs to be maintained exist in and around tubs, showers, and vanities. Specific locations will vary depending on the fixtures and materials installed in your home. Examples include: Along the seams of a tub/shower surround; Along the wall, where a tub/shower surround termin...

Why marble isn’t the best option in a shower or bath.

Our subway tile wall in the kitchen/dining is complete and I can’t wait to share with you how it turned out. While the tile guy was here I asked him to pop out a tile in our master bathroom shower . Back in the spring of 2014 I noticed some discoloration happening on on some bottom row marble tiles in our shower. ( Past master bathroom : Review 1, Review 2). In the past two years I have had about 6 tile “experts” over to give me their opinion.  Every single one of them had a different scenario.  A couple of them said, “Marble does that, I’d just leave it alone.”  Others told me I wasn’t keeping up on sealing the tile properly (guilty).  But most had really never really encountered it before.  So we never were really sure what to do about it.  My fear was that water had gotten behind the tile and mold was growing (eek).  To my own defense, we take extra precaution with our showers.  We squeegee after ever shower and towel down ledges.  We decided to stop showering in that shower to see...
