Got the earlobes pierced about 2 weeks ago.
I’ve been using ‘warm’ sea salt water to clean them, I heard it heals piercings faster, and works best.

It’s abit of a pain to always have to warm up the water. I’ve always heard WARM sea salt water.Just curious — Why should it be warm? Does it have to be warm? Is it okay if I don’t warm it up? Will it affect it differently?

I want to buy a Senior Citizens Health insurance policy where there is no requirement of medical test prior to take a policy. The age of my Father is 67. Am I able to buy health insurance policy for him with my requirement?

Everyday when I remove this crust/scales there is a sticky fluid underneath. I clean with a mild soap and apply antibiotic ointment before it dries into the crust again. However, this cleaning routine is doing nothing to STOP this seeping fluid. The sticky fluid seems to be seeping from the skin itself but that doesn’t seem possible. Logic says it would have to be coming from inside the ear. Every a.m. and during the day the outer ear, back of the ear, lobe and skin on the jaw and neck below the ear has some buildup where it appears fluid has touched the skin. I haven’t experienced any pain or hearing loss but the skin itself is sensitive to the touch, cleaning it w/ Hydrogen proxide burns badly. This all started a couple of months ago. I’m desperate to clear this up. HELP!

For as long as I can remember cleaning my ears has been a painful experience. Even the slightest swipe with a q-tip hurts and itches. As I make myself continue, I begin coughing for no apparent reason. I can not make myself stop even though there is no cause. I do feel a slight pressure in my throat which could be causing a gag reflex, but the coughing seem to violent for that explaation. Also my eyes water badly. For a long time afterwards my ears burn and itch.

I don’t insert the q-tip too far into the canal. Mostly I just clean the outside, then get as best I can on the inside before (a) it hurts too bad to continue or (b) I am coughing and tearing so forcefully that I can’t control the q-tip.

Has anyone heard of this happening? Has it happened to you? Any information would be welcome. I am becoming increasingly concerned.
Thank you.

if organic food is grown without any pesticides how do they keep the insects away?
why is it more expensive if they are saving money on chemicals and such?
do we need to wash it more and watch out for buggies??

I am looking to get involved and volunteer with an organization that does outreach work for family planning and women’s reproductive health/rights but am having trouble locating one. I am looking for organizations that are NGO’s and may have a more liberal outlook on women’s reproductive rights than a government-sponsored organization.

I am in Metro Manila……..
