Problem: Article: You’re usually able to tell if it’s ripe right when you try to cut into it—the skin and fruit should be super soft and easy to cut if it’s ripe. Another way to tell if the pawpaw is ripe is to press on the skin and see if it gives. If it doesn’t, it hasn’t ripened.  If the skin is tough and you’re not having an easy time trying to slice it open, it’s likely not ripe yet. Pawpaws give off a fruity aroma when they're ripe. Pawpaws can differ in color depending on the specific type, so relying on color to determine if the fruit is ripe isn't your best bet. By putting the pawpaw in the fridge for a few hours before slicing it, the pulp will have an easier time separating from the skin. The seeds should be able to more easily pop out as well. You can store pawpaws in the fridge for about 2 days, making it easy to pull one out whenever you'd like to cut it open. You can either use a sharp knife to try to slice the pawpaw completely apart lengthwise, or you can cut around the skin and then pull it apart like you would an avocado. This leaves you with 2 open halves, ready to be eaten once you remove the seeds.  Use a spoon to scoop out the fruit inside of the skin and eat it. Try to remove the seeds right after you cut it, as they're not edible. The halved fruit creates a great bowl, making eating right out of the skin super easy. The slices can be however thick you’d like, but a thickness of at least 1 centimetre (0.39 in) is recommended because the seeds will be in between the slices. Use a sharp knife to make each slice, and eat the slices after removing the seeds and skin.  You can remove the skin by creating a cut in the skin and then peeling it off all the way around the slice. Slice the pawpaw like you would cut up a banana. Pawpaw seeds are rather large, dark seeds that aren’t edible. Once you cut the pawpaw, you’ll be able to easily see the seeds to remove them. You can do this using a spoon or knife, or, if the fruit is chilled, the seeds are likely to pop out easily. A pawpaw seed is roughly the size of a large pill, making it difficult for you to swallow one accidentally. Use a large spoon to scoop the insides of the pawpaw into a bowl. You can either use this pulp in a recipe, eat it raw, or store it in a bag in the freezer to enjoy later.  Pawpaws will only last a couple of days before going bad, which is why they should be frozen for up to a year if you’d like to keep them fresh for longer than 2 days. If you're going to eat the pawpaw within the next day or two, store it in the fridge in an air-tight container. Use a spoon to eat the frozen pawpaw as you would eat ice cream. Freeze the pawpaw in 2–4  c (470–950 ml) increments to make serving it easier.
Summary: Check to make sure the pawpaw is ripe. Chill the fruit beforehand to make cutting and peeling it easier. Slice the fruit in half lengthwise for a quick, tasty treat. Cut the pawpaw crosswise if you'd rather eat it in slices. Remove and discard the seeds. Scoop the pulp out and freeze it, if desired.

Problem: Article: Taking these larger items to your local dry cleaners for a full cleaning or treatment can prevent future infestations. Inform them of your concerns. Many cleaners will have processes and relatively safe chemicals to discourage bugs from nesting in the fabric.  For more severe cases of insect infestation, call a professional cleaning service to come to your home and eliminate the bugs. Don't take this step unless you're confident that you have bugs living in your bed, however, as it can be quite expensive. You can invest in a mattress encasement that is designed to fend off bed bugs. This encasement wraps around the entirety of your mattress and contains infestations. Any bugs trapped within the encasement will die off. You may not have to worry about this preventative measure unless you're suffering from a bad case of bites. Bugs often hide within wooden frames, so changing to a metal frame may eliminate them from your bedroom. Wooden frames also sit closer to the floor, giving bugs easy access to traveling from the floor into your bed. You also want to avoid a bed with a headboard, if you can. Headboards are breeding grounds for insects, and they'll be able to easily slip through the porous wood and into your sheets. If you need a headboard to sleep, try using a metal one instead. If you can stop bugs from entering your home, you'll prevent them from biting you at night. You also will avoid paying exorbitant prices for new furniture or professional cleaning.  Close cracks and crevices near bare plumbing or wiring. Smaller bugs can travel easily through these narrow paths. Get quality silicone or acrylic latex caulk to fill smaller holes around doors or windows. If your hole is any larger, you may need a sturdier filling, such as sheetrock or mortar. Because the insects biting you are likely very small, mesh screens on your doors and windows probably won't do much. Keep these openings closed when you can. Improving your general sanitation can help your bug problem. Don't leave dishes sitting out overnight and always clean up any spilled food crumbs. If you're having trouble permanently eradicating your bug problem, you may want to call a specialist. Professional pest control companies generally use a mixture of steam treatment and insecticide. Starting with a steam treatment works best; your insecticides will kill any bugs that the steam misses.  Make sure that your professional is using an insecticide with d-phenothrin as its active ingredient. D-phenothrin's major use is in the killing of small nuisance insects, such as bed bugs and ticks. It's more than likely that these sorts of creatures are the problem. If you don't want to pay for an exterminator, you can try doing a steam treatment yourself. You'll have to purchase your own cleaner. Make sure that it produces a low vapor, high-temperature steam. Stand as close to the bugs as you can. Move at a rate close to one inch per 10 seconds. Anything quicker than this might become nonlethal for your pests.
Summary: Have your blankets and comforters professionally cleaned. Switch out your bed frame. Seal your home well. Seek help with a professional exterminator.

Problem: Article: For most people, the best choice of wrapping for a compression wrap is a cloth elastic bandage, sometimes colloquially known as an “ACE bandage,” after a common brand of elastic bandage.  Any brand of elastic bandage will work. However, wider bandages (between one-and-half and three inches wide) are usually easier to use. Cloth elastic bandages are comfortable, since they're made of stretchy cloth. They are also reusable. (When you're finished, you can wash it and use it again when you need it.) Some bandages come with metal clips for fastening the end of the wrap. If yours does not include metal clips, medical tape can also be used to secure the end of the bandage when the wrap is complete. You can also securely tuck the end of the bandage into the wrap.
Summary: Pick your bandage.
