What's the most important lesson you have learned from living on your food storage?

---

This is for those of you who have put away food storage and then actually chosen or had to live on it for a period of time exclusive of store bought food. If you were advising someone who's putting in food storage, what would be your advice?
I've always had a WELL stocked pantry and 2 freezers. Make sure that any meats are well wrapped, in freezer zip-loc baggies, with the date and name on the front ......As soon as you get close to using up something in your pantry, refill it at the next opportunity:) Store pastas, beans, rice in tupperware or glass mason jars; it keeps them fresh and looks pretty in the pantry......  (+ info)

A hemarrhagic disease is any disease that causes bleeding.

There are thousands of hemorrhagic diseases - way too much for Answers.

Best you narrow things down a bit.  (+ info)

What is the temperature difference between the wine cooler and wine storage fridges?

---

I would like to buy a wine cooler but the price differnece is signficant between the wine cooler and wine storage fridges. Why is the temperature difference so important?
It's not...

Wine storage can be done safely in temperatures barely above freezing up to about 70 degress farenheit. Remember also that wine matures at a faster rate at higher temperatures. Between 45 - 55 degrees farenheit and humidty between 60%-70% is a superlative range in which to store wine.

A constant wine storage temperature is what you should be striving for. Recurring changes in wine storage temperature can be detrimental to your wine.

Now, a "cooler" is a device for keeping your Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio at a perfect temperature for service. But, ask youself this: just how many bottles of white wine do you need to have at perfect service temperature all the time?

Probably none. Yyour best bet is to chill your room temperature whites in the fridge for between 45 - 90 minutes before serving and drinking.

Glass fronts, shiny chrome, a "name", all can jack up the price of a nice storage unit, but honestly a nice laydown rack in a cool (40-68 degree), dark part of the house is all you need.

Best wishes!  (+ info)

How many people die of diseases each year?

---

In the world.

I know the word "disease is pretty vague but I mean all types of infectious diseases.

Please give me a source so I know you didn't just make a large number up. Thanks!
i think i heard that 12 million die a year  (+ info)

What makes certain diseases more likely to be frequent and widespread epidemics?

---

like cholera, the flu, dengue fever, and the plague. there's a list of epidemics on wikipedia and i'd like to know what those diseases have to make them so popular (in relation to deaths/occurences/etc) throughout history.
Thank you.
Interesting, isn't it? These diseases are living right alongside humans. Humans and these diseases grew up together - evolved together - perhaps we're dependent upon one another in some mystical way. (Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" J. Diamond).

So on the day you don't enforce the health laws (as we often don't in these recent times of republican "deregulation"), these diseases wait in the wings to step up and start killing people - we just saw this with the salmonella in the peanut butter.

Li'l Bush killed the food inspectors - the money had to go to his rich friends instead for more bottles of champagne. And now people are dead from this - and we're damned fortunate it wasn't worse.  (+ info)

My husband just moved departments with the City and now he's in maintence in water but sometimes he may have to deal with dirty (pee and poop) water! Couldn't he get diseases from this? How to prevent them?

The water borne diseases include Dysentry, Diarrhoea, Hepatitis-A, Typhoid, skin diseases, infections in the eyes & ears etc..  (+ info)

What sort of diseases might cause slight limps but no deformity of the leg?

---

I need to know of a few diseases that a child might catch that would render her with a slight limp for the rest of her life, but no physical deformity.

Thanks.
The most frequent cause of limping in an otherwise normal youngster is the childhood disorder "transient synovitis of the hip." It is presumed that a virus produces inflammation in the lining of the hip joint since most affected children had a mild cold before they suddenly started limping. This self-limited condition usually occurs in boys between 2 to 12 years of age (average 6 years).
_____________________________________________

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is a rare condition that always has to be considered when a child limps. It develops when, for unknown reasons, something happens to interrupt the blood supply to the top of the thigh (femoral) bone. This results in destruction of bone’s top causing pain when the child walks. Boys ages four to ten are five times more likely to be affected than girls. X-rays of he hip may be normal at first but repeated studies and bone scans make the diagnosis apparent.
______________________________________________

Another cause of limp in children is "slipped capital femoral epiphysis." For unknown reasons the top of the thigh (femoral) bone slides into an abnormal position causing an abnormal fit of the hip joint. It is most frequently seen in overweight male teenagers (10-15 years of age). There is often a history of slight injury and pain may be first felt at the knee, even though the condition afflicts the hip.

What is the maximum number number of diseases a person can carry at one time?

---

I tend to read a lot about people having 3-5 different diseases and dying, but what is the record for the person carrying the most diseases at one given time?
I didn't see a Guiness World Record for it either. Might be an interesting addition, though.
I've never heard of having 3-5 diseases at the same time. I have read, though, that people can carry a certain "virus" and never get sick with it, such as bacterial meningitis, herpes (oral) virus, and a few other's, but I can't remember them offhand.  (+ info)
