If you travel for long enough you will catch something. While the majority of travellers overseas will suffer nothing more than traveller’s diarrhoea an unlucky few may end up with something more serious and it’s not just the tropics that has a monopoly on exotic diseases. These 5 diseases are not as common as the serious threats of malaria and dengue fever, but are out there.

5. African Eye Worm

Caused by the bite of the large Chrysops fly, the first sign you are infected is the uneasy sight of the small worm crawling across the surface of your eye. The infection is usually caused by swimming in shaded African lakes/pools where this beasty fly likes to bite. Cure is via painful injections. Try to avoid swimming anywhere in Africa!

4. Weils Disease (or rat catcher’s yellows)

Thinking of doing some canoeing or kayaking in an English river? Maybe think twice. Many otherwise picturesque English rivers can be spoiled by large amounts of rat urine. This means unsuspecting swimmers (perhaps falling out of a kayak) are susceptible to Weil’s disease, caused by the bacteria in the rat’s business. The consequences can be kidney failure and life on dialysis, even from just a short time in the water.

3. Lassa Fever

A disease endemic to West Africa Lassa fever is thought to cause 5,000 deaths per year in the region. While in 80% of infections symptoms can be minor, the other 20% can suffer horrendous fever, swelling and seizures. Infection is thought to be through contact with a rat calling the sub-Saharan region of Africa home. Treatment is through serious drugs and there is no guarantee of cure. Many travellers fear this disease when heading to West Africa, yet malaria and other nasties are usually more of a risk.

2. Leishmaniasis

Found in parts of the tropics, subtropics and southern Europe, this is a parasitic disease that you can catch via the bite of an infected sand fly. This disease is fairly common and effects up to 2 million people per year. The disease causes skin lesions that can end up looking like the top of a volcano (Google image search if you dare). The disease is not fatal and even without treatment will eventually go away, though it can leave horrid scars. The best prevention is not to get bitten by sandflies.

1. Changas

Another parasitic disease, this nasty is contracted via the bite of the blood sucking triatomine bug. This bug is most commonly found living in huts made from mud, adobe, straw or palm thatch in poverty stricken areas of Latin America. At night the bugs emerge to gorge on people’s faces then the bug proceeds to defecate on the poor person in question. It’s the ingestion of the bug’s faeces that causes the infection (through breaks in the skin or the eyes). Millions in Latin America are affected by this disease. The disease can end up chronic lifelong affliction and is often life threatening. Travellers can try and avoid sleeping in the type of dwelling mentioned and always try to prevent bites via netting and serious bug spray.

Bites from mossies of course cause other serious and common infections like malaria and dengue fever which all travellers to infected areas should be prepared for. These diseases are less common but have the potential to effect more than your holiday.

Eye Protection for Farmers

Eyes are precious and even a moment of carelessness can cost your time, money and even your eyesight. Eye protection is even more important if you are working on a farm. A number of hazards exist on the farm such as exposure to chemicals, dust, flying objects, farm equipment etc. To avoid these hazards, farmers should use protection equipment for the eyes, know about first aid for eye injuries, and above all they should be careful.

Eye Injury Causes:
Eye injuries on the farm can be caused due to several reasons. One of the common hazards is spray cans, which contain chemicals that can harm your eyes. To avoid chemical eye injury, one should use the spray cans carefully. The spray cans should be kept in a safe place away from kids.

Certain farm equipment which chop or grind, can expel soil, rocks, foreign objects into the air. These flying particles can get into the eye and cause injury to the bystander or the operator. Hence, farmers can avoid such incidents by shielding the farming equipment and keeping people away from the path of the equipment.

While all farmers need to keep their farm equipment running by servicing them regularly, most of the farmers tend to get injured while servicing the equipment rather than operating. Simple hand tools can strike the eyes and cause severe eye injury. To prevent this, farmers should use appropriate tools while servicing and they should wear eye protection

Eye Protection:
Protective eyewear is the primary way in which you can prevent eye injuries and proper selection of it is vital. While selecting the protective eyewear, make sure it fits properly and is comfortable to wear. The eyewear should be durable, easy to clean and disinfect, and it should not obstruct your vision or movements. You can use the following eyewear for protection:

  • Industrial rated glasses/sunglasses that fit over ordinary glasses: You can wear these to protect your eyes from flying particles, objects etc. You can also add side shields for added protection
  • Splash goggles: Splash goggles protect your eyes from agricultural chemicals. Welding goggles are recommended when you are working with sparks and lights
  • Full face shields: Full face shields are comfortable and offer good protection for the eyes. For farmers who wear glasses, sunglasses etc. full face shields are important. The face shields should be fire-resistant and should meet the industrial quality

Farmers should avoid using contact lenses while working with chemicals. The protective eyewear should be cleaned, disinfected and kept in dust-proof containers. If it has any repairs, it should immediately rectify. Avoid using the eyewear if it outdated.


First Aid for Eyes:
First aid for eyes depends upon the type of injury to the eye:

  • Particles, specks: They are usually washed out by natural tears. Avoid rubbing. If they remain, consult a physician
  • Blows: If the eye is injured due to a blow, apply cool compresses for 15 minutes and repeat this once in an hour to minimize the swelling and pain. If there is eye discoloration, puncture, or cuts etc. apply a bandage and consult a physician immediately
  • Chemicals: If your eyes are exposed to chemicals, irrigate them with fresh water continuously for 15 minutes. Consult a physician and take the label or the container of the chemical along with you

Eyes should not be neglected as farming involves many hazards to the eye. Eyes can be protected the best if farmers use protective eyewear and be careful while doing daily activities. This will enable farmers to carry out their work safely and effectively.

A lot of women dream of achieving a perfect glass body shape. However, despite doing aerobics, gym exercises, jogging and dieting they just can not get that perfect body. So as a last resort or as the only resort they turn to body shaping underwear.

Look at any eighteenth or nineteenth century painting or pictures of ladies, you will see body shaping underwear and accessories in use. Women would wear corsets to reduce their waists. They bore a lot of discomfort but they wanted to look good and they did. Fish bones and similar material was used to make corsets. The purpose was to accentuate the breasts and pull in the waistline.

Most women today also want to achieve the same effect. That is not to show a bulging belly or big buttocks. Nowadays, different body forming underwear are available. Also there is a choice of designs and materials. Thanks to the new technologies and types of fabrics, women ‘now’ are no longer stuck with cumbersome corsets.

These are all-in-one body forming underwear that are made from different fabrics. You can get all-in-one body forming underwear in cotton, satin, silk, and man-made fabrics. They have fasteners or press on buttons. The all-in-one body shaping underwear does not accentuate the breasts as they are worn below the breast line. If you have a tummy, which needs to be tucked in, then an all-in-one body firming underwear will do the job. The hook and eye fasteners and the press on fasteners may be uncomfortable at first. However, one does get used to them.

If it’s only the waist that bulges and needs tucking in, then there are waist nippers. Women generally after giving birth, use waist nippers to tuck in their loose bulges until their bodies get back in shape. These waist nippers are made from different fabrics and use Velcro for tightening and fastening purpose. The fasteners can be uncomfortable but that’s the price you have to pay for a better look

If it’s the buttocks and thighs that need to be accentuated, there is body forming underwear. Nowadays there is stretch material that does compress the body quite well and is quite popular in body shaping underwear. Some body shaping fabrics can be uncomfortable. However, today there are plenty of different materials to choose from.

Body shaping underwear has become quite popular and is easily available in departmental stores, ladies garment shops and you can also buy them on the internet. If it’s your first experience at buying body firming underwear then it’s advised that you visit a store and get help from the sales lady. Try on the different body shaping underwear and see which one suits you the best.

The size and the choice of material are important, as you don’t want the material to cause any skin problems once you start wearing it. There is body shaping underwear that uses bones and eyes and hooks fasteners. However, these can be uncomfortable to wear. Body shaping underwear is not very expensive and with the choice of designs and fabrics available. Finding the right body shaping underwear should not be a problem.

How Feng Shui Flying Star Can Help You Improve Your Wealth and Health

This aspect of feng shui is not typical within the arsenal of a geomancer expert or a feng shui master. The feng shui flying star revolves around mystery and is the child of mythology, superstition and historical fact. Said to be gifted from Mother Nature herself and originally written on the back of a giant Chinese turtle, the flying star sports the ‘Lo Shu’ diagram, or the nine numbers diagram that changes and rotates in response to many variables of time.

This article will give you an insight on how the feng shui flying star can help you improve your wealth and health.

The flying star model has nine numbers and each of the diagrams has a colour that is representing it. Some of them even come with elemental symbols but that feature is pretty rare in feng shui circles.

From white to purple, one to nine, this colourful ancient diagram is not just a spectrum’s afterthought; it is also a key and a compass to enhancing energies in any space to improve wealth and health. Its power and potential is great and if used properly, could be the tool to transform lives.

How this works is that the flying star and the eight sided map (ba gua) that geomancers use work together. By combining the two messages that these items will speak to you to, you can harmonise a place and the elements in it.

Make sure both are pointed in the right direction and the flying star will highlight the spaces in your house according to the colour of the diagrams in relation to the ba gua map. Looking at this blueprint for continued luck, all you have to do is match the flying star with different elements in relation to the colour the number it represents.

For example, if the flying star on 3 (normally symbolised by the colour green) points to the south west corner of your house, then all you have to do is place an element of a plant, or anything that sports the corresponding colour, shape or material. Feng shui flying stars can be symbolised by different objects with different properties as well. If you are unsure, contact your local geomancer and they should be able to help.

Some typical items are fishbowls, portraits, wind chimes, sources of water or even zodiacal flying star symbols. It may seem complicated at first, but as you learn more about the significance of the flying star, and how you can use objects to empower your space to absorb and retain more good energy, as well as balance the masculine and feminine energies (yin & yang) – you will experience more harmony as well as health and wealth.

You must also know that flying stars change with time, so it is all about mathematics and knowing the seasons of change. This is important to ensure your energies are in harmony and you won’t one day walk into a cyclone of turbulent ‘Chi’ dragging you and your life down into an unending spiral of bad luck.

Once you get the hang of it, the feng shui flying star is unparalleled in bringing about good luck, health and wealth and with it you will see your life rocket into success, break the stratosphere and become a bright shooting star.

How to Save Money Flying With Kids

Are you a parent who needs to fly with your young children? If so, you need to look for ways to save money. Unfortunately, parents often pay full-price, if not more for their children to fly. Realistically speaking, it should be the other way around. So, how do you, as a parent, find cheap airfare when traveling with children?

Do not get a seat for a child under the age of two. Most airlines allow children under the age of two to fly on the lap of a parent. If you have a child under two, don’t pay full-price for a ticket. Depending on where and when you are traveling, this seat could cost $400 or more! Some airlines do charge a fuel charge for lap infants, but it is still cheaper than a single seat.

Right about now, you may be thinking it is too uncomfortable to fly with a child on your lap. It is best if you are traveling with your spouse or another adult. You can alternate between holding your child. This is ideal for long-distance flights, ensuring both parents get to relax on the flight at some point. Do not let an airline charge you extra for a car seat. If an infant under the age of two gets their own seat, most airlines require you to have a car seat. This car seat is for safety purposes. Although some airlines require infant car seats, they have no problem charging you extra. Don’t let this happen. If you Must Have a separate seat for your infant, contact the airline directly and bargain. Let them know that if they do not waive the fee for the infant care items, you will opt for a lap arrangement instead. Once again, this can lose the airline up to $400 or more!

Ask for a discount. If you have a small child who is over the age of two, you must buy a seat. As previously stated, that seat could cost $400 or more. What you need to remember is that your child weighs less than an adult, they have less luggage, and most have few travel needs. They aren’t calling the attention of a flight attendant every ten minutes. Technically, it costs less for your child to fly, so try to pay less.

When seeking a child airfare discount, these discounts are rarely offered online. In fact, they are rarely offered at all. Parents need to seek them. Before making your airline reservations, contact the customer service department of your preferred airline. Outright ask about a discount. Mention the fact that your child does weighs less and will not have as much luggage. Be very polite, but clearly state your point. You should get a discount.

The best way to reduce the cost of flying with kids is to focus on airfare. However, don’t discount other money saving areas on your family vacation. It is cheaper to fly with layovers than take a direct flight. Unfortunately, that leaves you and your kids hanging out at the airport. We all know how expensive airport meals, snacks, and drinks are. Eliminate this added expense. Give your kids a full meal before leaving, pack lots of dry snacks, and share drinks bought at airport stores.

If you are traveling with one or two children, they may want their own suitcases. As cute as they may look dragging this suitcase along, it may cost you at least $30 extra. Now, many airlines charge for not only second suitcases, but the first one too. Save money by condensing luggage with your family. Will your daughter’s clothes fit into your suitcase and your son’s clothes fit into your husband’s suitcase? If your airline charges you $15 each way for a checked bag, you save $60 total! As you can see, there are many ways that you can save money when flying with kids. Whether you have one child or three, don’t let the cost of flying ruin your finances.

Fly Fishing in Green River

Fishing is one of favorite past times or hobbies for many people. The thrill of having a big catch is the objective of this activity which makes it fun and exciting. There are many methods in catching fish and fly fishing is one of them.

Fly fishing is a very unique technique that uses artificial flies, fly rod and Fly Line. You could be able to catch fishes like salmon and trout. However, there are many fly anglers who use this method to catch other species such as carp, pike, Pan Fish, bass, snook, bonefish and red fish also. The fly line used is made up of plastic coating. Artificial flies come in different variants in terms of weight, size and color.

Most common natural materials used in making artificial flies are feathers or fur and horse hair connected to a hook. But recently, other types of materials are also used and have become very popular too. These flies are created to look attractive to the target species. The colors are chosen according to that of insects and baitfish of these species.

In later years, fly fishing became a popular sport too. Many clubs were established due to the increasing number of people taking up an interest on this activity. Many competitions were held that drew lots of participants from different places.
There are several fly fishing rivers identified suitable for such activity in the United States. Some of these rivers include Pit, Big Horn, Mc Cloud and the Green River in Flaming Gorge dam. The latter is the most popular among the rivers.

Green River naturally became famous because of its abundant trout. It is a perfect place for fly fishing not to mention that the river features a natural beauty making it a good place for camping.

Based on the records of the Division of Wildlife Resources, this river has a population of 20,000 fishes every mile. This ratio is simply advantageous both to beginners and pro fishers. There is little waiting time to catch fish with such abundance.
Green River is divided into three sections. The sections are assigned with letters A, B and C.

Section A is a seven mile stretch starting from the Flaming Gorge Dam to the Little Hole. There are more than a hundred thousand fishes in this section which makes it the most favorite among the three. There are available guides in the areas which can teach you fishing techniques as well as those areas where you can get a better catch. It is the favorite spot of beginners because it is easy to get a catch here. It is also a viable place for kayaking and rafting.

Section B is a nine mile stretch from Little Hole to Browns Park. It contains fewer fishes compared to Section A but sufficient enough to have a good catch. This is a good spot for fishers in the intermediate level. It is quite difficult to get a catch here that will require some acquired skills.

Section C is the most challenging. The fishes are wilder and spookier which makes it a favorite spot for highly skilled fishermen. It is normally not crowded here because only a few hobbyists will enjoy such a difficult catch. For the most challenging fly fishing experience, section B is the right place.

If you want to experience the adventure of fly fishing, it is important to visit any of the fly shops near the river so they could suggest which section is appropriate for your skills. They would also provide you with all the rules and regulations particular for fishing in Green River.

Flying Radio-Controlled (RC) Aircraft

There is something about flying that excites and amazes certain people. Many people often dream of flying, but resist following that dream because it seems too difficult and too expensive. However, the excitement and dreams of flying have become a reality with radio-controlled (RC) aircraft. Actually, some of the RC aircraft today can give you the best flight of your life. If you would talk to a dedicated RC plane hobbyist, they would tell of the excitement of heading to an RC field on a warm, sunny day to fly their planes and to enjoy the camaraderie of other hobbyists and RC club members. It is always amazing to see the many different styles of aircraft and how they maneuver through the air.

Radio-controlled planes have a rich history, and provide a suitable hobby for all ages and skill levels. Flying enthusiasts have a large variety of aircraft to choose from, making the hobby more exciting for all hobbyists from the beginner to the expert. You can pick and choose what you want depending upon your taste and the available money you have to spend. Generally, the ideal choice of a particular RC plane depends upon a combination of style and pilot skill level.

For beginners, park flyers are a great choice. The term “park flyer” denotes small, primarily electric planes. They are so named because they are small enough to be flown inside public parks. The recommended aircraft for beginners is an A-R-F (Almost Ready To Fly) high-wing trainer. A-R-F planes are already built and don’t require a lot of time and building experience to get ready for flight. A-R-F planes also have fairly large wing spans (60-70 inches) which aid in better visibility and flight operation.

For intermediate hobbyists, there are glow plug engine planes and electric powered planes. Glow plugs, which are similar to spark plugs, ignite the fuel in the plane operating as a small internal combustion engine.

For the expert pilot, jets, helicopters, and competition aircraft are very popular and provide an exciting challenge. Sophisticated electronics and speed controllers have now taken the controlling of an RC airplane to higher levels. These aircraft are no longer considered toys just to play around with. Jets commonly use ducted fans or micro turbines to power them. They are constructed of carbon fibre and fibre glass. Jets can achieve speeds over 200 mph, requiring quick reflexes and many hours of flying experience. Helicopters are trickier to fly than planes and are much less forgiving.

If you want to get started flying RC planes the following information may help you:

Flying aircraft of any type is not a skill we are born with. Purchasing any radio-controlled aircraft and trying to fly without some basic knowledge may possibly result in the destruction of the model. When this happens right off the bat, most prospective flyers get discouraged and pass on an exciting hobby. Flying RC aircraft is not difficult but does require some practice to become proficient enough to have your plane soar through the skies and return for a safe landing. Teaching yourself to fly is possible; however, if you find a local flying club and seek some help from the experienced flyers is the ultimate way to learn. A flight simulator can aid in learning the fundamental movements and actions of an airplane. It is an easy and convenient way to practice the simplest turns to the most complex maneuvers. It must be remembered that the flight simulator does just what it’s name implies, it simulates the actions of an airplane. The simulator is not the real thing and most planes react differently in the air.

Whether you are a kid, or just a kid at heart, flying RC aircraft is directed at anyone who wants to relax and have fun. Get involved if you want a hobby that gives you a thrill!

Happy Flying!

Best Natural Skincare and Scientific System Combination

The best skincare solution will be the combination of both natural skincare products and scientific system application. Natural skincare is gaining its popularity and setting an unstoppable trend in the beauty industry. However, this is just like you have access to a gym and you are working out hard in order to achieve a well built body. Here come the question, should you work on the stomach first, arms, legs or may be shoulder? Upper, middle or lower stomach? Biceps, triceps or the fore arm and wrist? What is the best way to work on the stomach? Sit up? Cycling? or Leg raising?

John Kitzmiller MD, chief of plastic surgery and associate professor of surgery, once said; “A Scientific System Skincare is just like having a personal trainer for your skin, you quantify the problem, define goals, make a plan and then establish a routine.”

The general steps should ideally begin with natural exfoliating peels, which remove dead skin cells, follow by stimulate new growth, and daily practice of cleaning and moisturizing the skin. Prior to that, an analysis either by the beautician, or consultation by specialist, to identify the skin problems such as sun spots, ultraviolet damage, fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone, texture and bacteria in the skin. Skin problems will then be pin pointed follow up by forming a skin-care plan based on scientific measurements. As the skin treatment progresses, estimated results will be monitored, and if necessarily, the Scientific Skincare System can be tweaked to achieve the expected outcome”.

However, in the whole process of Scientific Skincare System, only the best natural skincare products will be deployed. Natural skincare ingredients like:-

Phytessence Wakame – Anti oxidants help moisturizing and smoothing the skin, maintain the skin’s moisture balance.

Coenzyme Q10 – Ingredient that treat free radicals in your skin, good anti aging treatment and reduces wrinkle effect.

Cynergy TK™ – Stimulate and regrow collagen and elastin, which are losing as we age.

These have been proven to benefits the skincare treatment in many tremendous ways and most importantly they are all derived from natural plants or fruits.

Adversely, if chemicals laden skincare are being used, not only it will disrupt the progress of the Scientific Skincare Treatment System, but the fear of exposure to cancerous possibility. The side effect for non 100% pure skincare will be uncalled for and the original skincare treatment might even lead to other diseases.

I must stress again, in order to get the most benefit out of scientific system skincare, only use the best natural skincare products to ensure the effect ability and need not to worry about the negative side effect. Always ask and check the label of the skincare products, reading skincare reviews is the good way to go. Then you are in the safe skincare treatments, defy the aging process with no worry.
