I had asthma as a child. I have always been very allegic to Pine, either the trees or pinesol. I usually have great trouble breathing when I am around it. I have been going to meetings at a building for the past 3 years. One day I was breathing find and the next day, I had to be hospitalized. I had developed pnuemonia. This had been going on for about 2 1/2 years. I did not know that they used pinesol to clean. Although sometimes I thought I was getting a wiff of it.
When I break out in hives, I wash the affected area with Dawn dish suds (to remove the plant oils) and finally dry and swab the area with peroxide (because I always end up with some cuts). Sometimes that’s enough to stop the itch, so I might apply an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin to prevent infection. But if it's very itchy, I skip the Bacitracin and apply a topical anti-itch cream like Hydrocortisone or Benadryl topical ointment. The hives may take up to an hour to die down.
The pine bears seeds in cones and the cones that open upon maturity and spread their seeds are usually the female pine trees. The seed itself is almost entirely endosperm. The cedar nut is the seed of the Swiss pine. This link may be interesting to read: http://www.soupsong.com/fnuts.html
If you had anaphylaxis reaction before, it is always good to carry a identification bracelet or epi pen with you.
Its goes back to pagan germany. The Germanic tribes use to celebrate the winter solstice by honouring the evergreen tree. They used this tree because it was one of the few trees that didn't "die" with the coming of the snow. The celebration evolved to placing lights on the tree to help usher in the day when the days began to get longer. Once the Germanic tribes converted to christianity they brought with them a few of their previous traditions.
So my son and I assembled four bins of straw (bought a bale for $4 at the feed store), pine needles (from a lodgepole pine so quite long), wool (a neighbor keeps sheep), and dog hair (from our dog's groomer), and a smaller container with short pieces of string (no piece longer than 6" or it's dangerous for the birds).
m going to take a guess that winter is not going to be over till April for me, but on the other hand I have seem it snow 3 inches in May
As of right now it is -20 below in town and -31 below at my place with no end in sight as we are getting hit with a nice cold front and only 8 hours of day light
Man oh live would I like to see 65 degrees right now lol

He referred me to an ENT, which I have not seen yet. I hate this smell and long for the days of being able to smell freshly mowed grass, pine trees, good food, etc, instead of this constant bad odor. No one else can smell it but it seems to me that since something happened during my bout of flu, that this has to be related to that and a nose culture should be able to identify something abnormal. Does anyone know if the nose can be cultured for abnormal bacteria / fungus other than MRSA?
Its like a he'll for the past 3 days, I did some research &.I came up with grandpa pine tar soap, I read about the V8 with antioxidant A-C-E plus, I used an antibiotic cream & A&D anti itch cream, it helps a bit but I insisted to my doctor to give me some meds & he gave me Hydroxyzine HCL, I took it last night for the 1st time & it knock me out & itch didn't even wake me up. This morning it kinda itch but it's not that bad.
In March 2011, the FDA published an advisory titled “Pine Mouth” and Consumption of Pine Nuts. The report states:
In the past year FDA has received a number of consumer complaints regarding a bitter metallic taste associated with pine nuts. This taste, known as "pine mouth," typically begins 12 to 48 hours after consuming pine nuts, and lasts on average between a few days and two weeks.
But last night as my wife and I were discussing my efforts I had an epiphany - why not leave the nice (artificial) tree with its many colored lights up? We even decided that it could be a tribute to Dr Martin Luther King, in addittion to overworked husbands. The many colored lights living in harmony on the symbol of eternal life - the evergreen tree. Does this make sense to anyone but me? It is seriously not meant to be derisive to Dr King at all.....
It could have a reaction to the ribavirin which is trying to protect the good cells. Try taking some motrin to relieve the stress you are going through which might be keeping you up. The meds do play on your brain, but they need to do their job. Good luck.
Benzos are a bad remedy for insomnia, as they interfere with the brain's ability to learn how to adapt to stress and interfere with REM sleep, and of course are addictive with quite a withdrawal kick. Although you only used it for a short time, people are different in how they respond to quitting -- it should be done gradually even after short term use if that use was continuous as opposed to as-needed occasional use.
Yes the doctor did make me stop.I was in my 22nd week and been off treatment for six days.I have since used sreroid cream with some success.Igo back to the doctor tomorrow and will ask to continue treatment.I was very reluctant to stop,but he would not continue to treat me if I did not follow his advice.I was undt.at week 12,was not tested bbefore that so I can olny hope for the best. Thanks for your repply.
has anyone tried the pine-nut oil? i just ordered it. I had ulcerative colitis symptoms..my symptoms have subsided though because i have been taking lots of rest and eating healing foods and really taking care of myself. no meds. i'm thinking of trying the pine nut oil to moisturize my colon..seem to be dependant on enemas at the moment (to have bowel movement).
