What are sick eyes and why do they get them?

---

When my kids get sick, they get what my mother calls 'sick eyes'. Their eyes just look like they have really dark circles under them, almost like bruises. What is this? Why does it always happen when they get sick? Why don't adults get this?
When children are sick they don't rest well. The dark circles could be an indication. It also has alot to do with allergies. My son has bad allergies and sometimes he looks as if someone has beat him. I also get dark circles under my eyes from allergies. Don't worry about it it is normal and not harmful.  (+ info)

What are the chances of getting sick from handling raw meat without washing hands?

---

I was making bacon this morning, but I thought it was pre cooked. We never buy raw bacon before so I didn't think about checking.
After handling it, I did not wash my hands until later when I found out it was raw. I know that you can get sick from not washing your hands after handling raw meat, but what are the chances? Am I going to get sick?
Rare. that you will get sick just wash and sanitize your hand and the work area. Dont worry!! you will be fine lol.  (+ info)

How can some people start smoking and not get sick and others get very sick at first?

---

I have never smoked and someone asked me to take a puff off their cigarette. I did and it did not make me cough or get sick. I smoked the whole cigarette and felt fine. Why did I not cough or get sick to my stomach as I jave heard people do when they try to smoke.
Don't be a fool. Do not start smoking. Once you are addicted, you will suffer greatly, then discover so many places that you CAN'T Smoke in. Even Second hand smoke is a danger. Smoking is also getting very expensive. $5 for a pack of 20? Gosh, what a waste of money.

Some people are allergic, just as they are with Pollen, Dust, dog hair and dander.  (+ info)

How can you make yourself get sick like not vomit sick but regular sick just so i can skip a fieldtrip to la.?

---

Does anyone no how to get sick like cold sick not vomit sick. My friend said to put dust up your nose is that true?
Your friend is an idiot. You might make yourself sneeze but what good is that? Of course you might also do some real damage to your sense of smell but you won't know that until later and it would not get you off a field trip any way. If you want to get sick then find someone with whatever disease or illness you fancy at the time and share a drinking glass with them. If, that is, you have already contracted idiocy from your friend.  (+ info)

Why do i get sick more often in temperate climates than colder climates?

---

I am trying to figure this out. I grew up in Southern California, and got sick fairly often. Moved to Colorado near Denver, didn't get sick that often and now I am back visiting family here in So Cal and am sick again. Any ideas why someone would get sick much more often in a place with very little temperature changes vs one with more extreme temperature shifts? Thank you.
Well, I have the same issue as you. I put it down to viruses not being able to survive/thrive in colder temps. That is just my thought--no scientific data to back it up! Also, environmental allergens are around all year long in temperate climates--perhaps it is allergies?  (+ info)

My husband has been sick from work and needs a medical certificate for work?

---

But he has never seen a doctor before. They all want to see him but he doesn't feel well. After all, if you are too sick to go to work what would make you feel better to see a doctor?
What other options if any are there?
He has to go and see a doctor to get the note, otherwise his company can claim that he did not show up and therefore he quit. They can dismiss him without cause.  (+ info)

What can cause a child to become sick literally all of a sudden?

---

If the child has been up playing all day and has been fine and all of a sudden gets sick to their tummy and gags a little, complains of a sore throat and tummy ache and falls asleep, what could this be? Could it be from eating alot of different foods in one day? We usually have a very healthy diet but we had food left over from the 4th of july and she has had boiled peanuts and brownies today and she isn't used to having much junk food. She is 3 years old and has never been sick and she has not been exposed to anyone outside of our home as I am a stay home mom. She is not running a fever or anything? Am I being overly paranoid?
Wow, thanks guys. I am not nearly as stressed out now after reading your answers. She threw up and now she is asleep. I think it was just the excitement and food. Thanks so much. I am gonna let her rest. Mick, your answer was hilarious. I have a 12 year old daughter that has pulled the "everything hurts and everything is wrong" with me to get out of going to school. They will try anything, but what is so bad is I homeschooled this past year and she pulled the same stuff to get out of doing her lessons at home. Now, that is bad!!! :0)
I have four kids, and I have learned something about them and sickness. Small ones get feeling bad after a bit too much excitement, sun, tiredness, strange foods. Let them sleep, give them a tylenol (if they have leg pain from too much walking or running) and a warm glass of milk, and it usually goes away.

A kid that complains of many symptoms is usually just feeling tired and overwhelmed or doesn't want to go to school. When they are really sick, they are usually more specific about one thing - "Mommy, my tummy really hurt. I am going to throw up." and they stick with one or two simple symptoms.

My five year old, when he did not want to go to school was funny, "Mommy, I am sick. My tummy hurts, my throat hurts, my ankle is sprained, my head hurts, I have a hot fever, my ears are making a funny sound, my tooth is coming out........"

My doctor said to try to get them to point with one finger to the pain. It helps you see where it is and if it is really there. Also, for the too tired tummy ache, just sitting with them and rubbing their tunny will often help them settle down. If she is sleeping, let her rest. She is probably just tired. Curl up next to her and rest, too. That way you will know if things change. If she had a fever, then I would think sickness. This sounds like the end of an exciting day.  (+ info)

How long does it take to get sick after drinking spring water?

---

I was hiking in the mountains last Sunday and I ran out of water, so I filled up my bottle with water trickling down through the rocks, thinking that the cliff face would filter it. If I were going to get sick, how long would it take? Would I already be sick, so I'm in the clear, or could it come on much later?

I know this was stupid but I was really dehydrated. I'll definitely bring more water next time.
You would be sick within 24 hours of drinking that water. Since it was moving water you should be fine, and if it was a natural spring you are definitely fine.

However for the future, carry some iodine with you if you think this will happen again.  (+ info)

How to prevent from getting really sick?

---

I just have a stuffy nose today I had a sore throat but it went away and I get sick a lot. I had swine flu in June. Usually when I get sick, say it's on a Friday I get sick I feel sick Saturday-Tuesday, Wednesday I'll feel a little bit better, Thursday I'll feel better completely, then the whole think starts over again. Usually it's just two weeks. But next Saturday is my birthday and I really don't want to be sick at all. What could I do?
Here's somethings you can do to prevent getting sick, or to feel better faster.

- Drink lots of orange juice, or if you don't like orange juice take a vitamin C pill

- Get some cold eeze. It's like cough drops that do a lot for a cold. Trust me, it works!

- Get to bed earlier, and get more rest.

- Make sure you are getting a balanced diet.

- Wash your hands!

- Drink lots of water and/or fluids.

- Take hot baths.

- Drink hot drinks like tea.

- Get wellness tea. It should have "wellness" in the name. It helps clear sinuses


FEEL BETTER!  (+ info)
