i got bit by a water moccasin and i know there posinous but nothing happend, no swelling, no pain (except the bite, that hurt) or anything?
Answer:
Either you were lucky (about 40% of all people bitten by venomous snakes are not injected with venom) or you were not bitten by a water moccasin. My guess is you were mistaken as to the snake that bit you. Are your bite marks two neat pinhole punctures or more elongated? The former would indicate a water moccasin, the latter some other type of snake.
http://www.edkuniversity.com/bite.html...I would go get help if I was you... you might not feel anything now, but the toxins in your body could cause damage later.
Go see a doctor immediately, or even better: contact Poison Control Center.
.you would know by now if it was poisonous.
Don't take a chance. See a doctor. This is your life.

I got a sunburn yesterday its very painful is it o.k to go in the evening sun?
is more sun bad for my sunburn
Answer:
Sunburn puts you at risk for skin cancer in a few years. To go out in the sun again while you are burned is insanity. It would be painful in the short run and very, very harmful in the long run. Take some aspirin, which helps lessen the effects of sunburn and put aloe on your burn. Next time use a sunscreen. Ever see someone who has had skin cancer cut off? They are not pretty scars.
What the HELL is evening Sun? Yes it is bad to go back in the Sun with a bad Sunburn are you a RETARD? Have you ever heard of Suncreen? Do you live in a Bubble?
Will most likly feel uncomfortable. Get pure Aloe Jell and coat the area, well. Absorbed by the skin, cools the burn. Natures remedy.,
there's actually a new medicine lotion stuff out for sunburn. It's called Cool Aloe I.C.E by Hawaiian tropic. It's kind of a blue green color and has bubbles and looks kind of like hairgel (i had to put it on my poor boyfriend last week because he skipped the sunscreen and got burned really bad at work and looked like Lobster Boy). But if you can't find that, perhaps you could use ice or some kind of cold cream (i used to use Noxema) or something with Aloe on your burn and then wear A LOT of sunblock next time you go outside.
wear a spf 50 to protect yourself an vinager will take out the sting an make you smell funny
GREETINGS, the evening sun is just as potent and capable of a burn as afternoon or morning. It's not ok to go in the sun unless you want sun poisoning or a 2nd degree burn and going to the hospital. Swimming is ok in the shade. I would use sunscreen in the future, with a burn already you are more at risk for skin cancer as the upper layer of skin is already damaged. ICE is an aloe, lidocaine product sold by most places (Walmart, drugstores), it will help ease the pain.

I got a sunburn on my face and today Its completely swollen, is there anything I can use to heel it ?
Can you recamend something to put on it? Besides ice?
Answer:
If you have swelling, you have toxins in your body from the burn. It's important to drink lots of water to wash the toxins out. You need to drink a coffee-mug size amount of water every hour. You should see results in 18-24 hours.Take Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) every four hours. You can also put aloe vera gel on it, look for an ingredient that ends in "caine" such as Lidocaine or Benzocaine. It will help relieve the soreness.Good luck!
take some ibuprofen (motrin/advil) to help with the swelling. aloe may soothe the burn (places like whole foods sell aloe with out alcohol in it) stay out of the sun! and wait it out...
noxema works pretty well on sunburn
Aloe vera (a plant if you have it) or lotion should take out the sting, swelling, and heal it pretty fast.
Aspirin will help the swelling as will aloe and taking vitamin E supplements will help the process along and they're cheap and easy to find at your pharmacy
LOL, time heals all things.
go get aloe Vera and put it all over Ur face
i got sunburned once and it hurts huh?
i got some aloe Vera to put on my face and it healed in 4 days!
i still put on aloe Vera because the aloe Vera makes my skin soft and smooth!
well good luck to ya!
I truly would not mess around with blisters, you could have serious third degree burns, so be careful not to avoid medical help early. This method may not help to heal, but it sure helps take out the heat. It stinks a bit, but I found great results. Try 3 parts cold (ice cold if you can stand it) water, 1 part vinegar, moisten a soft cloth and lay it over the burned area. When your cloth gets warm, wet it again, repeat until the V/water is not cold enough to help draw out the heat. I also keep aloe Vera gel in the fridge.
Ouch! Okay, your first goal is to calm down the swelling and cool the skin down. Take Ibuprofin. That will help the discomfort and swelling. Now, when you burn the skin continues to stay warm. I like to hop in the shower and turn on cool water for a few minutes. You should also definitely ice, covered in a small towel, or wet a towel wring it out and place it in the freezer for twenty minutes or so. Apply regularly every half hour. Aloe is great, too! It helps heal and cool the skin. Glob it on and stand in front of a fan. Even better if its in the fridge. It will be about a few days or so until you are healed. And just a few days it will tan and then peel. Let it peel off naturally, you can scar if you pick it off. I don't know what you use on your skin but be sure not use anything with retinol, salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acids. No masks, or enzyme masks, no scrubs. Cetaphil cleanser is great. Or just use something that wont irritate your skin. Be gentle. Good luck!

I got a sunburn my skin feels hot but then I get these tingling chill feelings too?
I'm using aloe vera rub,
does the chills mean I'm cold or hot, I'm indoors, its night, should I put on more layers or less layers?
Answer:
sounds like sun poisonUse aloe vera or noxema,take some advil or the like, not tylenol... and try to rest...watch for blisters/freckles...
thats called sunburn.
thats what happens. use aloe vera gel it should help wit the burns
your body is trying to cool itself off. if you can take regular Bayer (or generic) aspirin, take two and drink lots of water. not enough water to make you sick, but to keep your body hydrated. if you feel comfortable sleeping naked with a sheet on top of you do so. good idea to keep the aloe on the skin. good luck

I got a stung by a yellow jacket on the wrist and its swelling pretty bad need to know what to about his issue
i already took some benadryl so what about the swelling!!
Answer:
go to the hospital and get an anaphylactic shot. I got stung when i was little and i had to get a shot.
continue taking the Benedryl as directed. apply Benedryl cream to the site. if the swelling persists or worsens, go to an urgent care.
GO TO THE DR! YOU COULD GO INTO SHOCK OR SOMETHING
had the same thing happen to me last summer, its not very fun... mine got to be about 3 tiimes the size it should.. benadryl is good, keep ice on it for the swelling, and try when you sleep, or are laying down, try to keep your arm elevated.. if you dont have trouble breathiing, and the swelling stays pretty localized, you will be fine, however if you do have trouble breathing, seek medical attention
The swelling is your body's natural defense system. Get some ice on it and get some rest the swelling will subside. Unless you are allergic to them, that could be lethal.
GO TO THE DOCTOR OR THE HOSPITAL TO GET A MEDICINE/CREME! YOU CAN USE NEOSPORIN AND BACITRACIN!put ice on it and rest!
Some people are allergic to the toxin. Play it safe and go to the ER. While rare, people have trouble breathing and sometimes die.
the benadryl should help. give it 30 mins, if your wrist doesn't improve or gets worse then go to walk-in or ER. also use ice to help constrict the blood vessels to help reduce the swelling.
take a knife and scrape the stinger out-it will keep injecting toxins -visit your local ambulance service-they will treat you -with anti-beesting medication-or get to the hospital -beware of anaphylactic reaction
You may be having an allergic reaction. If you think it is just typical swelling and you don't have shortness of breath or other symptoms that are not normal, try putting ice on it. Also, wet tobacco helps to take the sting and swelling out. Look to see if the stinger is still in your wrist, If it is take a credit card and scrape the area until you remove the stinger. Then try all of the above. Benadryl anointment can help take the sting out too.
I always mix up some water with dirt and put the mud patty on the sting ,it only takes about five minutes and the pain goes away leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes to make sure the stinger is out.Works every time.
I got a email about this Tape a penny on it for 15 - 20 minutes then the swelling is suppose to go down...Good Luck
Try applying a little bit of ice. if that doesn't seem to take the swelling away go to the doctor or the ER if you have to. Swelling like that usually indicates a serious reaction to the bite/sting and if you let it go untreated it could lead to aniphilactic shock. The doctor will probably just give you a quick shot and some care instructions and set you on your way... granted an at ER it may take longer than it sounds. Good Luck.
Cut a raw white potato and place it on the sting and it will pull the poison out. And for swelling wet a paper towel and put meat tenderizer on the sting.
Wet tobacco out of a cigarette. Apply for about 15 minutes and then take a benedryl along with a topical hydrocortizone AKA anti-itch skin cream.
If the swelling gets bad enough you might want to go to the ER. If you have any trouble breathing I'd call 911.If the swelling gets past a certain point they may need to do something to keep the skin from rupturing. I react badly to stings as well. You also might want to talk to your doc about getting an Epi-Pen
Put some ice in a plastic zip lock bag then in a wet wash cloth ice it down. Have someone drive you to the hospital because if you are having an alergic reaction then the Dr. may order medication for you that you may not be able to drive on, and they always ask do you have a driver first. If not, that may prolong your stay. My husband who is in the military is alergic to bee and wasp stings he has to carry a pre-filled siringe and they taught him to give himself an emergency injection (Not the same as a regular injection) You need to to be careful this could be life threating.
Same thing happened to me last summer, except I got stung by a carpenter bee... depending on how much your wrist is swelling, you might be allergic to stings. If it gets so swelled that you're *really* worried about it, go see a doctor. For now, keep taking the Benadryl. To keep the swelling down, apply an ice pack for ten minutes, then tightly wrap an ace bandage (you know, those stretchy cloth ones) around your wrist for half an hour. Repeat this a few times (ice, then wrap). If it's still pretty swelled when you go to sleep, keep the bandage wrapped around it as you sleep (remember to keep it wrapped tightly, but not so tightly that you cut off blood flow!). If you need to go out (to the grocery store or something), keep the bandage on. Using this process, the swelling should go down and be completely gone within a few days.And as a few other people already said - if you have any trouble breathing, call 911!

I got a small drop of super glue in my eye what is the best treatment for that?
Answer:
Eyelid
In the event that eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball, wash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. To our knowledge there has never been a documented case of adhesive in the eye causing permanent damage. Do not try to force eyes open.Eyeball
The adhesive will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours. Periods of weeping and double vision may be experienced until clearance is achieved. Use of a warmed 3% sodium bicarbonate solution to wash eyes repeatedly may assist in aiding more rapid removal of the adhesive.
Flush with tap water now while a friend calls poision control. Continue to flush your eye until you get further information
get straight to the ER. This is your eye,it is not something to muck around with. GO NOW
The ER! Flush with water until you get there. Good luck.btw, how did glue get into your eye?
OMG TAKE YOUR INDEX FINGER AND THUMB AND PULL YOUR EYE OUT, WASH IT, THEN PLACE IT BACK IN WOW SUPER GLUE!!....
P.S THAT鈥橲 IF IT鈥橲 A GLASS EYE OF COURSE
I got a second degree burn on my left foot April 21,2007 and it itch REALLY bad.what could stop the intense i?
I was making boilied eggs on april 21,07 and when I went to take the pot away the water spilled on my foot and it's almost completely healed up, but now I have this Very irritating itch that won't go away. what kinda lotion,creme, or anything could I use?outta ALL the products out there. I've tried putting lotion on it but it does not help.and this is REALLY IRRITATING the hell outtta me and it won't go away-so someone please help me and FAST.
Answer:
well second degree burns are notorious for there after effects. for the itching, the only thing i would suggest if the burn is pretty much well healed, you can try hydrocortison cream, but thats pretty much it. sorry.
Good luck! : )
hmmm ice works for me sometimes,its funny april 21 is my brithday i guess it was a bad day because it was bad for me to. sorry that happend.
You must have had a second degree burn. By this time it should have healed. It's over ten weeks ago. The itch may be coming from the top layer of the new skin. Suggest you leave nature to do its job. Use some aloe vera or similar and maybe a cool saline bath. If the itching persists I suggest you have a work with a dermatologist.
Use Claramile Lotion and apply it directly to the place that it itches.
cold water is the best first aid when you burn yourself - 20 minutes under the tap is ideal. NEVER ice or vinegar or milk or butter or mustard or toothpaste or sunscreen or semen or vaseline or tomatoes or vanilla extract or yogurt or sour cream or egg white or lavender oil or cocoa butter or salt or tea or potato or shaving cream- not until the skin is fully healed! ignore anyone who advises any of these!i would advise that you cover the burnt area with sterile paraffin wax or aqueous cream bp. (check the links below and see if you can find a local equivalent)cover the burnt area in paraffin wax after cleaning and removing any burst blisters - these are just sites of infection and will take longer to heal. wash and reapply every 4-6 hours - cover with cling wrap if you wish to cover with clothes - this will stop your clothes getting covered with paraffin and maintains the burn.cling wrap alone is ok if you can't get hold of any paraffin. it also acts as a protective artificial skin - helping retain moisture and protect from further damage and pain. cling wrap is cheap and clean off the roll. in Australia ambulances often use this when someone has been burnt. - please note that cling wrap isn't always practical, like on your face.paraffin creates a seal stopping water leaving the body and reduces pain as it protects sensitised nerves. the paraffin imitates the natural oils secreted by the skin. skin cells are better able to multiply and regenerate with this treatment. pain is also helped. make sure you buy plenty of this paraffin - as the burn heals switch to aqueous cream bp.(aqueous cream has a bunch of paraffin in it plus some moisturisers - look out for stuff that also contains sorbolene or glycerine as these help also). following this regime definitely will help your sunburn heal faster and peel less. aloe is good coz it remoisturises but that moisture can be quickly lost as the skin can't contain fluids- this is a function of healthy skin.so put aloe on, and then the paraffin on over the top as long as there is no broken skin this works great. if there is broken skin leave out the aloe - just paraffin.long term treatment to prevent scarring or loss of function due to contractures(as skin heals it can tighten reducing how much you can move - a skin graft is necessary to repair this). daily moisturiser, daily stretches - talk to a physio, pressure bandages like tubigrip, massaging the scar. this all reduce/flatten the scar and minimise the need for further treatment/surgery. http://www.doorone.com.au/xgs-aqueous_cr...http://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/david-c...hope this helps - let me know how you go and what similar brands/alternatives are available in your area email if you still have questions - send photos feedingthedogcustard@hotmail.c...finally if you are really worried go to a hospital that has a burns unit or plastic surgeons.
