To minimize transfer of infection in the family,
people who share a bathroom should store
toothbrushes so they aren't touching each
other. Using individual toothpaste tubes will
also prevent the spread of infection especially if a member of
the family is ill.
Just as women are encouraged to do breast self-examination
on a regular basis, men are urged to do a testicle self-
examination once monthly. If the testicles are painful, tender or
swollen, see your doctor. This type of exam is best done after a
bath or shower.
A doctor in Ontario is using live maggots to clean wounds.
Maggots eat only dead tissue and don't touch live tissue. It's not
for everyone but this therapy is reported to work really well.
When you start a new medication, become familiar with the
more common side effects of the drug. It's best to start with the
lowest possible dose unless it's treatment is for severe or
emergency situations. Keep a diary of any problems you may
experience with the drug and relay them to your doctor.
