Growing Tomatoes and Allergic Reaction Concerns
Comments (13)Thanks for all the replies! @digdirt: Yep, the seafood meal is composted first, but I appreciate the suggestion to ask her doctor--I'll do that. Just curious, why do you say potting soil is not recommended for containers? My potting soil bag states that is what it's supposed to be used for. @dirtguy50: I started growing tomatoes and other veggies for just my household and thankfully, no one here has the seafood allergy problem. Ocean Forest has always given me the best results, which is why I use it. After I saw that I was going to have lots of extra tomatoes, I started thinking about who I could gift them to and my mom came to mind. I definitely wouldn't risk giving anything harmful to my mom, which is why I came on the forum to ask this question and am also checking with a couple of health professionals. Thanks. @ajsmama: I really like the idea of growing a separate pot of tomatoes in a different mix just for my mom; thanks for the suggestion! Strangely enough, my mom is the only one that has severe food allergies. I'm grateful I didn't inherit them. @Carolyn: Thanks for your helpful answer! So given that the tomatoes are popping now and have been potted in/fertilized with seafood I won't take any chances. I'll just grow some more tomatoes next year in a separate pot and mix. This has been extremely helpful. Thanks all!...See MoreAnyone allergic to Bare Escentuals make up?
Comments (11)I just purchased the Bare Minerals and have used it with the id prep cream. I do use Clarins Moisture Quenching Hydra-Care Cream on the dry areas on my face heavily, and lightly on the rest of my face under the prep. I haven't had any problems yet... That said, about 5 years ago, I picked up what I thought was the Neutrogena daily moisturizer that I had always used. I used it one day and the next morning woke up with a "sunburn". It was early fall so I figured I had spent a little more time in the sun than I realized the day before. I didn't use the product again until Christmas Eve that year. Well, I used it more heavily because it was winter and my skin was drier. On Christmas morning I awoke to a completely dark red sunburned looking face and had to wait several days for it to go away. I had all of the same symptoms you have posted. It was painful and I didn't even want to put anything on but aloe because I was afraid to trap the heat. i didn't even wear makeup on Christmas day to tone it down since it hurt so badly. Long story made a little shorter, I checked my bottle of Neutrogena thinking perhaps I bought one that had expired. No, they changed the product to include alpha hydroxy. Apparently, I am one of those people who absolutely cannot use anything with alpha hydroxy in it. I can't even use a zit stick. I have really fair and sensative skin. I like the BM since it is light and contains natural ingredients, and very natural looking. I even splurged and bought my daughter the beginner set. I am thinking that perhaps the mask you used (especially since it was on much longer than recommended) burned your face. I will contiunue to search the reaction to the Bare Minerals since I my interest has been peaked. I hope I didn't waste good money....See MoreMethimazole for hyperthyroid - my cat has had a bad reaction!
Comments (48)My vet told me that hyperthyroidism can mask kidney disease. The increased blood flow when thyroid levels are high helps the kidneys. When levels come down with medication the kidney disease shows more. Loss of appetite is also a side effect of methimazole. My 21-year-old has days where he won't eat anything but Fancy Feast. In addition to the methimazole, I'm giving him Thyroid Support Gold and Kidney Support Gold from Pet Wellbeing. Both with vet approval and he is doing pretty well given his age. It took a few month to get things on even keel....See More? for anyone who's ever had an allergic reaction to detergent
Comments (26)To throw more wood on the fire, I am one of those that can't tolerate strong fragrances either. They make me want to gag, eyes water, choke, cough, etc. Consequently, I don't wear cologne, aftershave, or scented deodorants. Being in an elevator with someone who has perfume on..is awful. I don't usually consider that the same as allergies, but they did come on about the same time for me (some thirty years ago). And a lot of personal care products break me out too. I first noticed when I was a youngster and mother slathered me with some kind of sunscreen. My face was burning like acid in just a few minutes...and being oily and in the middle of the lake, couldn't get it off....See Morealways1stepbehind
