Q&A: EMERGENCY PLEASE LOOK LOOK?
Question by : EMERGENCY PLEASE LOOK LOOK? I bought 2 hermit crabs months ago, theyve been fine until now. I am very caring of animals, yesterday i rescued a swan, but youll probably be furious that i dont control the humidity in my crabitat. they have a beach style home with lots of sand, three shells, one for crab chow, one for a salt bath and one for filtered freshwater. They also have a large shell as a home with a little driftwood entrance. there are other shells and rocks and PLASTIC plants for them to climb on, but they dont eat the plant, nor show much intrest. Theres also a small cuttle fish for them to chew on. I occasionally feed them fresh fruits and vegetables and should feed them natural foods alot more often. So anyway, now you understand their contitions, there is Burgess, hes reddish and theres Tim whos a little smaller. Burgess has a “foot” missing and its never grown back, he buries himself alot, could this be do to with moisture? Tim is being terribly odd today, he looks alot smaller, and very very pale, i have given him a gentle wash in the salt bath, then let him near the freshwater to keep hydrated. i gave him fresh lettuce from my vege garden but he hasnt touched it. he came out of his shell after being inside for ages but now hes not going back in. he hasnt moved and hes not dead either, hed stink if he was. he looked too wet so i sat him in a pile of sand to “dry off”. all his little legs look like a bunch of bananas, uncomfortable. his little eyes are drooping and i dont know what to do ;( im really really worried and its making me sad. im trying not to handle him too much but i wanted to make sure he wasnt cold, so i let him outside to get some fresh air and warmth but he wouldnt move. i cant see any mites and burgess doesnt care (why would he). could you please help mee asap.
Teen weight lifting and nutrition?
Question by Adrien S: Teen weight lifting and nutrition? I am 16 years old, 5′ 4″ and 170 pounds. I’ve been weight lifting for quite sometime, around a year but not consistently but there is a difference in muscle growth. I want to know how much should I intake of carbs in order to lose excess weight and body fat QUICKLY. I know I should take protein in which I do a lot of the time. This is my meal plan so far for the holidays: Breakfast: Oatmeal with skim milk (sometimes mixed with protein whey) Lunch: Tuna with whole wheat bread, mustard, red pepper, lettuce/spinach Dinner: Lean chicken with brown rice (included with mushrooms, red kidney beans, 2 egg whites, onions, garlic, herbs)
That’s all I eat and I know I should eat in between those meals, but is that really necessary and will it affect my chance of losing weight? I absolutely use no salt whatsoever when I cook, I just season the meat and everything. I also use organic extra virgin olive oil for cooking. I have been eating this with a workout plan in which I go to the gym, I also do cardio on speed 6.5 – 7.0 for 15 min. I workout different muscles each day bu I haven’t seen a difference in my stomach or fat loss. I think that I am eating too much carbs, how much should I intake of carbs and what am I doing wrong? I really want to lose weight and lose excess fat
Please help, experienced answers.

Thankyou for your contribution, im creating a new crabitat asap. tim died thismorning and i cried. so much that i missed the bus. i really miss him and feel guilty. tommorrow im going to get burgess a friend.
I also want to say i would NEVER use coloured substrate or shells. everything (x-ept the plant) is natural. interesting comments about the salt, would salt flakes be better? im really sad tim isnt crawling around anymore.
OH I FORGET the other day tim fell about 150 times his size onto a tiled floor and was crawling along the lounge room carpet. AWEFUL I KNOW, my mum and little brother noticed. Do you think he could have died of internal injury? i do. dont get angry at me, he obviosly hated his home. perhaps its the sand.
Q&A: is it true that petroleum based products are bad for your skin?
Question by scrilliys: is it true that petroleum based products are bad for your skin? Petroleum products such as mineral oil are commonly found in many products such as lip balms and nearly all products for dry skin. Petroleum based products are bad for your skin because it tricks the body into thinking that the skin is moisturized. This in turn stops the body from producing natural body oils.
After the product has worn off the skin becomes dryer and more irritable. Your skin will cease to moisturize itself naturally and depend on external products to keep it hydrated. Petroleum products are popular with manufacturers because they are cheap. So, beware of this ingredient in selecting the right moisturizer for your skin. -got this from www.haba.com i’m not sure whether its marketing gimmick or its true

How can an infected toe be cured?
Question by : How can an infected toe be cured? Four or five years ago, I stubbed my big toe going up the stairs and drove my toenail deeper than it was meant to go. It was a frightful mess with blood everywhere. Two weeks later, I went to the emergency room with a black line climbing up my leg. It turned out to be blood poisoning, and they drained out the bad blood. Ever since then, my toe has been slightly infected. It didn’t hurt, so I left it. Today it was pretty sore when I got home and I want to know what I can do to rid myself of it (a foot bath with epsom salts didn’t do it). The hospital or doctor is kind of a last resort, so any natural cures or over-the-counter drugs you think might help are great. Thanks in advance! The infection is on the inside; kudos to formerly_bob for pointing this out.
