What’s actually the best way to handle a worn-out kneecap these days? I've been reading all this stuff about stem cells, but man, the price tag is pretty intimidating. I'm trying to figure out what the gold standard is, but also what might be a bit more budget-friendly.
I mean, maybe I should just accept my fate and stick to joint supplements—you know, things like Glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen, hyaluronic acid...
Honestly, I completely forgot to spray myself down—it wasn't even an issue until a few weeks ago, but now I make sure to do it every single time. I've been using that Zona Vital Natura Kids spray; it’s all-natural and smells really nice. There is just no way I'm letting myself get bitten without spraying up first 62 miles.
As for antibiotic ointments, they aren't exactly a silver bullet. If the bacteria has already made its way into your system, a topical cream isn't going to do much, and besides, the bite itself isn't usually some massive wound. I still apply something externally, though—I use lavender Pranar essential oil. It’s actually fantastic; you can dab it right on the puncture sites as an antiseptic, and it helps with skin recovery. Just, you know, make sure to do a patch test on healthy skin on your forearm first to ensure you don't have an allergic reaction.
Yeah, I'll just hang tight until that red circle shows up.
And honestly, regarding that other comment... I really should probably just let it go, but I just can't help myself. So, what? I'm supposed to wear long sleeves and pants when it's 90 degrees out? I love being outdoors, and frankly, I need the sunshine—you have to show at least a little skin if you want to get your Vitamin D. Besides, those things cling to long clothing even easier than they do to your skin. Then they start looking for a spot to settle, and if I'm outside from sunrise to sunset, they might just decide my sweatshirt is a great place to land on my head. Anyway, if people are too scared to go out, they can just stay inside. This world is going to get you eventually, regardless.
Hey everyone, so I got bitten by a tick on my lower leg, and the head actually stayed lodged in my skin after I tried to pull it out. It’s been two days now, and the area is pretty swollen, red, and honestly, it itches like crazy. I haven't noticed that specific red ring that usually points toward Lyme disease yet, though. I'm kind of torn—should I just go ahead and start on some Zithromax?
