Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite!

Sep 16, 2008 Daily Blurbs, Hype

Two weeks ago, I was bit by a bed bug. Why do I know it is indeed a bed bug? Well, I did a quick internet research and found photos on what it looks like. Having them is the worst itch ever! Another bad thing about it is having marks on my skin, even after the bite has healed. I read from this article, “how to kill bed bugs“, that there are natural remedies.

Steam Cleaning
Diatomaceous Soil
Leave things that are infested outdoors
Mattress covers for bedbugs, either fabric or vinyl.

These are the things that don’t work:

Changing the temperature of your house.
Use of lavender oil

How do you know you’ve got them anyway? Obviously, you get bitten. Plus, bed bugs wastes, which are dark spots on your mattress. There are other telltale signs, but make sure you have the habit of changing and cleaning your bedsheets and pillows.

Chocolates from Gertrude Hawk include some of my favorite types of chocolates, like, dark chocolates, chocolate covered cherries and chocolate covered pretzels. They also have chocolate Smidgens®, caramel dipped apples, fresh fudge, sugar-free candy and truffles. If you like to give chocolatey gifts, they have a Holiday Gift Collection which includes a beautifully gift wrapped assortments and pre-made gift baskets.

Aside from selling tastey chocolates, they also offer sales programs that are designed to fit fundraising, corporate and gift-giving needs.

SCA

Jul 22, 2008 Daily Blurbs, Hype

I wasn’t aware that 325,000 people die in a year - or nearly 900 per day because of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). In most cases, this happens without a warning. I know of some people who’s dad was taken away because of SCA. It could’ve been treated in minutes. It is a fact that when SCA occurs, it can be treated within 4 to 6 minutes, otherwise, the result may be fatal.

However, with the help of CPR¹ to help keep the blood pumping, and a shock from either the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or automated external defibrillator (AED), sudden cardiac arrests can be prevented.
