Washing your hair with mayonnaise will kill lice. (It doesn't, but it does make your hair shiny.)

I dunno, Sash; we used the mayo on my three sons several times and it always worked. Our pediatrician recommended it to us, and it was hella cheaper than Rid (the medicine, not the Ryder...lol)

Um... you believe we CAN'T diagnose something pre-hospital?


You see a bone sticking out of a leg after a fall. Don't call it a fracture! That would be a diagnosis!

Linus,

misquoting is a sin. -10 for you. I have requoted for you to reread what I actually said, in its entirity, the second part of what I said is just as important as the part you have decided to quote

I think the biggest Medical Myth is perpetrated by Medic who like to think they are Doctors & can Diagnose & cure pre hospital

thoose 2 words make all the difference to what I said, we can make a provisional diagnosis, we need to leave the difinitive diagnosis & treatment (& ongoing care) to a Doctor who has trained for many many more years than any medic.
 
The average person needs to drink eight glasses of water a day to avoid being chronically dehydrated.

Drinking coffee/tea brings about dehydration.

back in high school i was on the swim team.
on occasion girls would eat before a meet, well usually right after their race they would end up puking.

lol i was on my high school swim team as well. I saw many a kid pukin in the trash can, but i didn't think it was because they had just eaten

i always assumed that it was. i never ate before a meet, never puked after one either.

our coach was also a little overboard. we could be pukin in the trash and he would yell for us to hurry up and get back in the pool. we also practiced 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week<_<

What high school you go to? Seminole? Sounds like my swim/waterpolo coach!
 
So is the "myth" that male swimmers shave their entire bodies to be faster in the water true?

I hated when all the swim girls had hairy legs for "training"

The only thing I hated more then hairy legs was when my cap would break, and my hair would get all tangled during practice like a rat's nest.
