Rub the tick with the alcohol and then pull straight up without twisting the tweezers. Steadily pull up. Rub the bite area with more rubbing alcohol. Wash your hands.

Alcohol might be beneficial because of an anti-inflammatory effect. But a person has to start somewhere. Unfortunately, I don't have offhand the recommended levels of lipid numbers and ratios.

Avatar m tn Over the last five years, I have been experiencing feeling of light-headedness, tinnitis, and brain fog. I went for an MRI scan two years, which showed diffuse white matter lesion, consistent with small vessel disease.

Avatar n tn Most people who have PVC have no symptoms at all and some people are more atuned to their heart, causing them to experience palpitations. If the cause is detemined through heart disease for example then medication will be administered to reduce the risk of sudden death, such as beta blockers, ace inhibitors and statins. For more severe cases, a special pacemaker would be fitted.
