Hi! So I think my daughter contracted scabies from her Day Care. Its a special needs day care so it’s a little hard to tell if a child has it. Anyhow, we got diagnosed and treated for it. We did the first treatment (permethrin cream) as well as the second treatment a week later. While the itching seemed to go down at first, and we were finally able to sleep through a whole night without itching, it got worse after about a week. I did research and it said that it was normal for it to still itch. However, about four days later, I got a rash that is similar to hives. They look like bumps that are scabbed over with dry skin. I am schizzing about whether or not they may acutally be gone. The itching is just so terrible! If anybody has shared this experience and come out okay, PLEASE let me know!
www.permies.com Colony Collapse Disorder solved. Well, I guess it’s been solved all along. The organic people experienced little, if any coony collapse disorder. Jacqueline Freeman is the author of an upcoming book “Bees, the OTHER Way”. She points out the different strategies that conventional bee keepers might try to save their hives from colony collapse disorder. Throughout the video I count off the first twelve. There are several more points that ended up on the editing room floor. For that stuff, make sure to visit the discussion at http 12 things to prevent colony collapse disorder: #1 general approach: use organic practices #2 general approach: strengthen bee immune system instead of “attack and kill” what nature uses to remove weak bees #3 don’t use insecticide (for mite control or any other insect problem) inside of hives - bees are insects! #4 allow bees to create their own cell size (typically smaller) - no more pre-made foundation or cells #5 genetics based on “survival of the fittest” is superior to genetics resulting from mass production where the weak are medicated #6 swarming is the natural way to good genetics #7 local bees have adapted to challenges in your area #8 stop moving hives #9 feed bees honey, not sugar water #10 feed bees polyculture blossoms, not monoculture #11 stop using insecticides on crops - bees are insects! #12 raise hives off the ground Don’t feed bees honey that you find in the supermarket.

Most asthma attacks occur during the middle of the night. Our breathing can become very heavy during sleep as illstrated by anyone who snores. Breathing with the mouth open causes asthma coughing, wheezing, dry mouth, snoring, sleep apnoea, needing to use the bathroom at 5-6am, causes fatigue upon waking etc. It is essential that asthmatics breathe through their nose at night. This DVD illustrates how.
I have broken out with hives on the left side of my face - they are a bunch of red (eraser size) bumps that are itchy, hot to the touch, sting when mosturizer is applied, and my skin feels tight. I never have really broken out this bad before - can this come from bad food/stress/etc? I’m kinda freaked out because I have never had hives to this degree….
Also - what is the best way to keep them under control/get rid of them? I already took Benedryl and have applied an ice pack to the side of my face. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
I am not positive that its hives, but there is a rash on her back, some of the back of her head, and more by her bottom only. I gave her a cool bath. She also has a cold which we saw the doctor for that yesterday. So I bathed her, cuddled with her, and gave her an albuterol treatment and some baby tylenol. She doesn’t seem to be distressed and is napping at this moment. Should I take her to the hospital or just go to her pediatrician tomorrow? By the way she is 10 months old and has a tracheostomy.
I developed an allergic reaction to penicillin this week, resulting in a head-to-toe rash, thousands of hives. It’s been five days since the hives initially appeared (starting on just my arms and stomach) and I’ve noticed that the hives left my face, chest, and top of my back and have slowly healed downward - at least I think they’re healing, which is my question! The rash/hives are no longer raised, but leave a red blotchy imprint on my body where they were. Is this normal? What should the hives look like if they’re healing? How long will the color last?
I have been breaking out in hives since January(3 months).I got an allergy test and found out I am allergic to soy.I cut it out of my diet and also began rotating what I eat but that was a little over a month ago and the longest I have been hive-free is a couple days.Zyrtec works for a little while but not 24 hours as promised.Even the prescription medicine my allergist gave me(xyzal)doesn’t seem to work all the time.I want them gone for good!Any suggestions?

My 12 month old son has hives. I am not sure what causes it. They seem to come and go throughout the day. He seems worse when he wakes up from a nap in his crib but there hasn’t been any changes to anything in his bed or any changes in soaps used to wash them. I changed his sheet just in case but it didnt make a difference.
I have recently changed him to an older baby formula, in the same parents choice (walmart brand) formula, that he has always had, but he has been on that for over a week and the hives just started yesterday.
Yesterday I gave him some finger foods that he never had before and I gave the cat a flea treatment. I didnt give him the finger foods today just in case, but hes still breaking out. I am fairly certain he didnt touch the cat though as the cat usually stays away from him. I also used a different brand of diapers, but the hives seem to be all over his body, and face, and not particularly in the diaper area though sometimes they are. Does anyone have any ideas? I cant tell if its exposure to the diapers or what since they seem to be coming and going constantly and im at a loss of how to figure it out. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, or any information on babys with hives that could be helpful id appreciate it.
he hasnt had any vaccinations lately, because he had the (regular not swine) flu a couple weeks ago and still has a cough. I was waiting til he got better.
They are disgusting and miserable. I have them around my face. I went to my doctor and got prescription meds but I am still miserable. Any at home remedies to zap them away. I have already tried oatmeal and cornstarch that did nothing but create a big mess. Thanks in advance.
